Stefan Kudoke

„More than 15 years ago, I said to my wife, 'I have a crazy idea: I will manufacture my own wat-ches!'“ At that time, Stefan Kudoke was a student who already had finished his master-watchmaker's degree and had worked at renowned brands like Glashütte Original, Breguet, and Blancpain be-fore.

With the founding of his eponymous brand in 2008, Stefan pursued his dream full-time and made a name for himself as a creator of exceptionally artistic hand-skeletonized and hand-engraved timepieces among his KUNSTwerk collection. Of the emergence of his second collection, the HANDwerk line, Stefan explained, "After more than 10 years, I refined my skeletonizing skills to their utmost, and I found myself in a position where I wanted to develop my watchmaking skills further. To use old techniques and keep the practical know-how of traditional watchmaking alive has always been very important to me." And he brought this to fruition with the first two models of his new collection: KUDOKE 1 & 2.

With his first own movement, Stefan has fulfilled his dream. Valuable lessons were drawn from the old masters, specifically those of the German-English traditional handcraft of precision watchma-king. "During the development of the Kaliber 1, I was inspired by the design of historical English pocket watches whose use of forms I incorporated into my movement. Ages ago I bought an old English pocket watch movement that lay unused in a drawer for a long time. One day it fell into my hands again, just as the idea of Kaliber 1 began to take shape."

As with his skeleton models, Stefan Kudoke sets great value upon the refinement of the watch components by hand. Be it the polishing of edges at bridges or steel parts, the engravings or the surface treatment of the wheel bridge using a special grinding technology – all steps during the finishing process are carried out by hand exclusively. This is how handcrafted pieces of art are created - in small volumes and with great care and attention to detail.

KUDOKE 2 – Nocturne Limited Edition

KUDOKE – HANDwerk 2 – Nocturne Day or Night – Limited Edition - 2020

After the incredible success of the award-winning watch KUDOKE 2 pre-sented last year, Stefan Kudoke now introduces an enchanting limited edi-tion of this model in 2020.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

While the original KUDOKE 2 shines with a silver-white dial, this year‘s limited edition is grounded in a new galvano-anthracite dial that evokes the night sky of the extraordinary 24-hour display at 12 o‘clock. This watch face changes dramatically from light grey to black and white, depending on lighting conditions.

The hand-engraved, domed sky disc is galvanically treated in an elaborate process with the colors of yellow gold and black and white rhodium. Polished hands together with applied rhodium-plated chapter rings form the frame that is at once contrasting and consonant with the nocturnal tones of this very special piece in the KUDOKE HANDwerk line.

The surprises continue to the caseback where a new version of the manu-al winding KALIBER 1-24h movement hearkens the nighttime theme. The hand-finished movement is presented in white rhodium, a stark inversion of the standard caliber traditionally fi nished in yellow gold. The balance bridge, also finished in white rhodium, bears the quintessential infinity mark of the HANDwerk series, but on a background that is hand-hamme-red and hand-finished.

Matching the year, only 20 pieces of this special watch are available world-wide. The limited edition model is priced at 8,665 EUR (excl. VAT) as is the ori-ginal KUDOKE 2 .

KALBER 1

Based on KALIBER 1, Stefan Kudoke developed and executed a modification on the dial side of the movement, facilitating a 24-hour indication at 12 o’clock. As for the first model, the hand finished movement - KALIBER 1 in version 24H – is visible through the glass bottom of the case.

At the front the eye is caught immediately by the rotating domed sky disk. Handengraved and electroplated in three colors it demonstrates the familiar creativity of Stefan Kudoke. A small gold-plated triangle indicates the hour of day or night. But even if you can only take a quick glance at the watch, the upper half of the 24-hour-indication shows intuitively the currrent day or night time:

KUDOKE – HANDwerk

KUDOKE – HANDwerk 1 and HANDwerk 2 Day or Night

With his initial inhouse-movement KALIBER 1 Stefan Kudoke lay the foundation for a new line of models last year - with the promising name „HANDwerk“ (German for „handcraft“).

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

During Baselworld 2019 the first two models of this collection are to be presented. It focuses on the application of traditional watchmaking methods, especially the elaborate finishing of the movement components by hand. The result are timeless timekeepers complementing the existing collection of skeleton watches called „KUNSTwerk“ (German for „work of art).

HANDwerk 1

A three-hand watch watch – striking in its simplcity! The classic bright dial with frosted surface and two edge-polished rings put on revives old times. Numerals and indicators remain discreetly in the background. The small second at 9 o’clock balances the face of the watch as a counterweight against the logo tag and crown.

Eye-catching is the blued hour hand. As the very symbol representing time, an infinity sign can be found here as well as handengraved in the balance cock of KALIBER 1 standing for endlessness and balance.

Unobtrusively, the 39 mm stainless steel case with onion crown  enframes  this  decent  timepiece  of  traditional watchmaking, whose heart KALIBER 1 is revealed through the sapphire glass bottom. Price excl. tax: 6,303 EUR.

HANDwerk 2

Based on KALIBER 1, Stefan Kudoke developed and executed a modification on the dial side of the movement, facilitating a 24-hour indication at 12 o’clock. As for the first model, the hand finished movement - KALIBER 1 in version 24H – is visible through the glass bottom of the case. At the front the eye is caught immediately by the rotating domed sky disk.

Handengraved and electroplated in three colors it demonstrates the familiar creativity of Stefan Kudoke. A small gold-plated triangle indicates the hour of day or night. But even if you can only take a quick glance at the watch, the upper half of the 24-hour-indication shows intuitively the currrent day or night time:

The dial continues the artistic line of the first model, combining roman as well as arabic numerals on the two rhodium plated rings put on. And here again the attentive observer can find the infinity sign included in the hour hand as well as balance cock engravement in the movement. Price excl. tax: 7,807 EUR.

KALBER 1

Based on KALIBER 1, Stefan Kudoke developed and executed a modification on the dial side of the movement, facilitating a 24-hour indication at 12 o’clock. As for the first model, the hand finished movement - KALIBER 1 in version 24H – is visible through the glass bottom of the case.

Stefan Kudoke

„After more than 10 years I refined my skeletonizing skills to peak and found myself in a positon, where I wanted to develop my watchmaking skills further. To use old techniques and keep the practical know-how of traditional watchmaking alive, has always been very important to me. In the not too distant future our labor work will be characterised by robot technology and computer-operated production, also in manufacturing mechanical timepieces. But what will generate value and emotions in this future? What will people appreciate? Interchangebale products fabricated by anonymous machines or handmade masterpieces created by humans for humans? The AHCI stands for this tradition and I am very happy to be able to exhibit together with the other independent watch and clockmakers sharing these values.“
