Baselworld 2010: Stepan Sarpaneva

By Don Corson

Stepan showed 2 new models this year a divers watch and a "one hand" watch.

This divers watch in titanium has the unique featue that the inner besel is turned using the nrmal crown in the intermediate position.








In these pictures it is impossible to read the time on the following watches, in reality it was, however.
The time is shown on a ring which shows through the window at the bottom.  There are symbols every 15 minutes along with the hours.   If you are into the Sarpaneve moon face, this is your watch.










Korona K1, diamond coated dial in rust







Korona K1, diamond coated dial in black




Korona K1, diamond coated dial in imperial blue




The K3 Harvest Moon







The K3 Red Gold







Two new models from S.U.F. Helsinki.
As you can see these models are starting to take on some of the design elements of the Sarpaneva watches.









 

EDITOR'S NOTE

Sarpaneva has 'found himself' over the last year as an artist watchmaker rather than a manufacturer.

The SUF Flying Finn is an AWESOME watch. I have the exact all black watch that Stepan brought to Basel. GREAT watch.

Thank you for posting. Any chance there is more information on the diver?

I had the pleasure to meet Stephan Sarpaneva at Basel. The diver is still a proto and will probably be released at the end of the year. It has a diameter of 46mm but wears smaller due to the special case design. In fact, it does not look oversized on the ... 

Just to add some details

I had the fortune to see this also in Basel. The case is Ti, follows the new Korona case style and the uni-directional inside dive bezel is operated by the winding crown, in the first position out after the winding position. Rather a neat function, no ext... 

What a big face! Cool looking thing....
