About Kudoke Watches
More than 15 years ago, I said to my wife, "I have a crazy idea: I will manufacture my own watches!" 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 before. 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 watchmaking.
"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 an own movement 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 reaming technology – all steps during the finishing process are carried out by hand exclusively.
The small family business now counts seven employees and three external staff. Only recently the move to the newly built manufactory building took place, where now the handcrafted pieces of art are created - in small volumes and with great care and attention to detail in a family atmosphere.
