In this first episode of Immortal Capital, our host Jad Comair sits down with Kari Voutilainen, Finnish master watchmaker based in Switzerland, for a refined and thought-provoking conversation on how mechanical watches preserve value in a digital age.

Together, they explore the principles guiding Voutilainen’s craft: patience, human precision, and the enduring allure of scarcity.
