LAINE, V38 FROSTED, AN ATTRACTIVE STEEL AUTOMATIC WRISTWATCH
Torsti Laine’s abilities as a watchmaker have been widely recognised since he was awarded the A. Lange & Söhne F.A. Lange Watchmaking Excellence Award in 2014. As one of his latest watches, Laine has moved in the direction of a classic, Calatrava-inspired wristwatch.
When following the gilded path of one of watchmaking’s most treasured creations, Laine has been sure to bring his highest of standards. Moving to a very wearable 38 mm. and instantly recognizable Breguet numerals, Laine also gives his creation a modern twist in keeping a relatively chunky stainless steel case. The welcome sight of a sapphire caseback allows for the admiration of beautifully-finished and brand-new VMF 5401 movement.
This is a fantastic option for any lover of Calatrava-style wristwatches, yet one who also wants a special piece which is both modern and distinctive.
