Lot Details

The present GG3 exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship of Finnish independent watchmaker Torsti Laine. This unique example is offered with two interchangeable dials: one featuring a distinctive guilloché pattern with Eastern Arabic numerals, and another executed in two-tone salmon guilloché with classical Breguet numerals. Both dials were produced by Décors Guillochés SA and are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the atelier, underscoring the exceptional level of artisanal work involved. The movement is equally remarkable, displaying an uncommon decorative treatment combining refined blue frosting with hand-beveled rhodium-plated rims. The result is a striking interplay of textures and finishes, highlighting the careful attention to detail that defines Laine’s independent production. In their own words: "For this highly customized Laine GG3, I chose to incorporate a rare movement decoration: a refined blue frosting contrasted with hand-beveled rhodium rims. Every screw has been polished individually, one by one, using traditional bronze and tin plates to achieve a precise mirror finish. The blue dial is equally distinctive — and likely unique — featuring a rare configuration of straight hour markers alongside Eastern Arabic numerals. The intricate guilloché patterns across the dial were executed entirely by hand on traditional, manually operated engine-turning machines." - Torsti Laine, founder of Laine Watches.
