This partnership seamlessly combines Sarpaneva’s masterful watchmaking expertise with the enchanting and whimsical world of Moomins.

One notable distinction between this particular timepiece and previous examples is that it was introduced under the Sarpaneva brand, rather than H.U.F. The watch showcases a captivating and distinctive design that skillfully captures the essence of the beloved Moomintroll character, prominently positioned at 6 o’clock on the dial. The dial itself exhibits remarkable depth, achieved through an open-worked chapter ring that is meticulously hand-finished with polished bevels.

The true star of this extraordinary watch is the luminous element. The base layer of the dial forms a picturesque backdrop of reeds, intricately open-worked and filled with a stunning array of eight Super-Luminova colors. Each dial undergoes meticulous hand-filling of the reeds in a random pattern, resulting in a unique color combination for every timepiece. Over this captivating reed motif, another open-worked section reveals the endearing Moomintroll nestled amidst lush vegetation. This layer is meticulously lacquered and then laser-etched to achieve a captivating two-tone finish. Finally, the dial is crowned with an open-worked chapter ring adorned with spherical hour markers, showcasing the meticulous hand-finishing of circular graining on the surface and polished chamfers within each of the open rings.

The watch case is meticulously crafted from high-grade Outokumpu stainless steel sourced from Finland (SUPRA 316L/4435), exemplifying the watch’s commitment to exceptional quality. Measuring at 42mm in diameter and 11.4mm in thickness, the case houses a modified Swiss Made Soprod A10 Calibre movement, showcasing the fusion of expert craftsmanship and reliable precision. The case design uniquely incorporates grooves, a distinctive characteristic found in other Sarpaneva watches, perfectly complementing the whimsical dial composition.

As a testament to its exclusivity, the Sarpaneva x Moomin watch was released as a limited edition, with only 100 examples produced, comprising 25 timepieces for each of the four exquisite colors available.

This collaboration timepiece is a remarkable tribute to the world of Moomins, expertly brought to life through Stepan Sarpaneva’s artistry and horological mastery. The Sarpaneva x Moomin watch is an extraordinary collector’s item that seamlessly blends Finnish heritage, imaginative storytelling, and meticulous craftsmanship into a truly unique timepiece.

This particular example can be described as immaculate, showcasing exceptional overall condition. However, it is worth noting that there are a few minor hairline scratches present on the pin buckle. These imperfections, though minimal, are the only blemishes on an otherwise pristine timepiece.
