# Voutilainen CSW Review by A.I. WatchMetrics


## Watch Summary
The Voutilainen CSW is a pinnacle haute horlogerie dress watch featuring a meticulously hand-guilloch� dial in silver with intricate patterns crafted by master engraver Kari Voutilainen himself, powered by the exquisite in-house manual-wind Calibre 28SC offering 65 hours of power reserve at 2.5Hz, targeting ultra-discerning collectors who prioritize unparalleled artisanal finishing and purity of time-only design over complications.

## Overall Watch Rating: 7.4/10.0

**Brand Metric (9.8/10.0)** - Voutilainen exemplifies haute horlogerie with its exclusive handcrafted production rivaling F.P. Journe or Richard Mille in prestige and innovation.
**Rarity Metric (9.9/10.0)** - Extreme scarcity from tiny annual output under 50 pieces combined with high secondary pricing places it at the pinnacle like limited Patek Philippe references.
**Dials & Design Metric (9.9/10.0)** - The hand-guilloch� dial with unique swirling motifs and blued thermal hands delivers unmatched artisanal beauty surpassing even A. Lange & S�hne's finest.
**Material Metric (9.7/10.0)** - Precious 18k rose gold case with sapphire crystal and exceptional hand-finishing exceeds typical luxury benchmarks like Vacheron Constantin.
**Movement Metric (9.5/10.0)** - The in-house Calibre 28SC boasts Geneva-striped bridges, hand-beveled edges, and reliable 65-hour reserve on par with top independent makers.
**History & Innovation Metric (8.9/10.0)** - Kari Voutilainen's revival of traditional guilloch� techniques since 2002 establishes strong niche impact akin to early Greubel Forsey.
**Versatility Metric (6.2/10.0)** - Suited primarily for formal and collector occasions with limited water resistance, it trails multi-purpose luxury like Omega Speedmaster.
**Functions Metric (1.8/10.0)** - Basic hours, minutes, and center seconds provide purity but fall short of median watches like Tissot PRX with added date and day.
**Complications Metric (0.5/10.0)** - Pure time-only configuration lacks any extras, underperforming average mid-tier pieces with chronographs or GMTs.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 5.9
## TPS Interpretation: Fair Value: The watch delivers strong artisanal excellence in design and finishing at its premium price point.
## WM Collector Grade: B+
## Performance Insights: Dominates in rarity, materials, movement quality, and dial aesthetics while lagging in complications and functions; provides solid prestige value versus its high implied price of around $45,000.
