Kudoke - Kudoke 2 Deep Blue

German watchmaker Stefan Kudoke presented a new version of its Kudoke 2 model with a deep blue dial. Details and price €9,718

Launched in 2019 (here our introductory article), the Kudoke 2 by German watchmaker Stefan Kudoke has been presented in a variety of dial variations. Following the silver, black, anthracite, forest green and salmon versions, the independent brand released a new interpretation featuring a deep blue dial.

The Kudoke 2 Deep Blue is not part of the regular collection (like the silver and black), but available on special order and for a limited time. It comes on a 39 mm x 10.7 mm round case crafted from stainless steel with a polished finish and a distinctive onion-shaped crown bearing the K letter in relief. 

The deep blue dial is enriched by a rotating domed sky disk at 12 o'clock, hand-engraved and electroplated in yellow gold, black rhodium and white rhodium.

The small gold-plated triangle indicates whether it is day or night by sweeping around the 24-hour ring while the time is indicated on the outer rhodium-plated chapter ring by the matching hour and minute hands. The hour hand is enhanced by the infinity sign, a Kudoke signature that we will find again on the back side.

 

The caseback reveals the hand-wound Kaliber 1 and its frosted and gilded plate. Inspired to the design of historical English pocket watches, this 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) movement integrates, on the dial side, a module that controls the 24-hour indication. The power reserve is 46 hours.

All finishes - the polishing of the edges, the engravings and the surface treatment of the wheel bridge - are rigorously performed by hand. 

Featuring sapphire glasses on both sides, the Kudoke 2 Deep Blue is water resistant to 5 bar (approximately 50 metres / 165 feet). Its price is Euro 9,718 before local taxes. kudoke.eu
