The Black Moon Ceremony, Helsinki, Finland

The 30th of January 2009 was a great day. I would like to thank every one of you for joining from far and wide, as well as close and near for my presentation of the new limited edition Sarpaneva Korona K3 Black Moon. I hope you all had as much fun as I did.

Cheers,
Stepan
