KUDOKE – HANDwerk KUDOKE – 2 – Bauhinia Special Edition curated for A Watch Company 2021
Bauhinia – Limited Edition
Bauhinia as symbol of the city of Hong Kong is a flower that blossoms in various different colors. Inspired by this orchid-like plant Stefan Kudoke and his retail partner, A Watch Company, present the KUDOKE 2 Bauhinia Limited Edition, a one-off exclusive 10 pieces limited edition for Hong Kong.
Within the KUDOKE 2 Bauhinia Edition each timepiece features an iridescent Tahiti Mother of Pearl dial. This natural treasure combined with Kudoke handcraft & artistry make each watch unique in its details.
Depending on lighting conditions and intensity the different layers of the dark Mother of Pearl either reflect or transmit white light resulting in a shimmering canvas of green, purple, blue and bronze as mesmerizing frame for the rotating domed Sky-disk at 12 o’clock indicating the hour of day or night.
The dark theme is continued at the hand finished caseback, where the floral relief engraving of the movement bridge as well as the balance cock with its infinity symbol are wrapped in a layer of black rhodium.
Not to be missed is the small detail, this Edition owes its name to: the hand-engraving of the Bauhinia blossom just underneath the logo plate.
This special timepiece comes with a black shell cordovan as well as stone grey suede leather strap with pin buckle and is available at A Watch Company exclusively.
=================================================
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.
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.
