KUDOKE 3 Flakes_EN

Our award-winning KUDOKE 3 model is now available with a new dial variant. We will present this special version for the first time at the AHCI exhibition Masters of Horology in Geneva from March 31 to April 5, 2025. It features a hand-engraved upper dial with a polished bevel, available in either yellow gold plating or white rhodium plating.

Since the introduction of the KUDOKE 3 in 2023 as part of our HANDwerk collection, we have continued our tradition of exceptional craftsmanship. The salmon-colored version was honored last year with the prestigious GPHG Petite Aiguille award. With the new dial variant, we reaffirm our distinctive style, blending aesthetics with artistic sophistication.

The KUDOKE 3 offers a unique approach to time display. While the minutes are traditionally indicated by a large, blued steel hand on the upper dial ring, the hours are displayed on a three-section plate set on the lower dial level.

An extraordinary three-armed hand moves between the dial levels to indicate the hours. It skillfully shifts between the scales, displaying hours 2, 6, and 10 twice before the active arm moves forward. This fascinating mechanism merges simplicity with intricate sophistication.

Hand engravings have always been an essential part of our KUDOKE DNA, and we continue this tradition consequently with the new dial variant. The artistic engraving of the upper dial and the elaborately polished bevel give the watch extraordinary depth and sophistication. The engraving technique, which we call “Flakes,” is characterized by gradually cutting out tiny flakes of material, like in a mosaic. This intricate process requires not only utmost patience and skill but also a significant amount of time, making each dial a unique work of art. In addition to the “Flakes” engraving, we also offer other engraving techniques and custom motifs upon request, allowing each watch to become even more personal.

Like our previous models, this new variant is also framed by a discreet 39-mm stainless steel case with a classic onion crown. With a height of 10.3 mm, it strikes the perfect balance between elegance and wearability. At the heart of the watch is our precise KALIBER 1 movement, visible through the sapphire crystal case back, underscoring our dedication to the highest level of watchmaking artistry. Each timepiece is meticulously handcrafted, embodying the essence of a true artisan watch – a testament to dedication and masterful craftsmanship.
