Pre-Basel 2015: Kari Voutilainen Unveils The GMR Dual Time Zone And Power Reserve (With Specs And Price)
Voutilainen will introduce a new version of its second time zone chronometer at Baselworld, a limited edition with an unusual dark green dial with red accents, in a 12-piece limited edition.Based on the Vingt-8 chronometer, the Voutilainen GMR features a second time zone display at six o’clock, concentric with the sub-seconds while a power reserve sits at 12 o’clock. Made of solid silver and engined turned by hand, the dial has a galvanic coating in a very dark shade of green, with red accents. The unusual colours on the dial are a result of the an expanded capacity to produce dials, especially in novel colours and styles, after Voutilainen acquired a dial manufacturer last year. According to Voutilainen, such unusual dial combinations, particularly with coloured accents, hands or indices, will be more commonplace in the future.

A variant of the second time zone movement based on the Vingt-8 calibre, the GMR movement is made up of 250 parts. Voutilainen developed the second time zone function in-house; pushing the crown advances the second time zone hand by an hour.
