Limited Edition Sandblasted Case and Engraved Movement
The Kudoke 3 Nocturne Limited Edition features an in-house movement with a special engraving technique he calls "flakes" on the 3/4 plate along with an artistic engraving on the bridge.
The process of carving out these tiny flakes is quite labor intensive and requires immense skill to achieve the desired effect. The result is stunning, and each piece that Stefan creates will be unique as the engraving process is done by hand.
In addition to the ornate movement, Stefan has chosen a galvanic black upper dial to complement the very special time display of the unique lower dial.
The stainless steel case is 39 mm and features a sandblasted matte finish. This new sandblasted case is only available on the Kudoke 3 Nocturne Limited Edition.
Only 20 pieces of this extremely limited model will be produced in total, and the limited edition number can be found engraved into the steel rim of the case back.
We are now accepting reservations for the first pieces of this watch.
A Four Handed Watch With Two Dials
This watch features a centrally mounted minute hand and three hour hands of different lengths.
As the time advances, the correct hour is shown on three circular scales. When the arm of one hour hand reaches the end of the hour scale, the next longer or shorter hour hand appears on the left side of the scale to show the correct hour.
Hours 2, 6, and 10 are shown on both sides of the hour scale before the current hour hand begins its journey across the scale.
The dial is actually two dials made in two levels - a lower silver plated dial with the hour scale, and a matte galvanic black upper dial (hence the name "Nocturne"). The upper dial is attached by four screws at 10, 20, 40, and 50 which also serve as minute indicators.
Stefan uses polished stainless steel hour and minute hands to complement the black and silver dial finishes.
"In House" in a Different Way
Stefan worked with Richard and Maria Habring to create a calibre that was completely fresh with a throwback to British/German pocket watch designs.
In Stefan's own words:
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 my own movement began to take shape.
In the past, intensive cooperations between the German and English watchmakers existed - it was the German diplomat and astronomer Hans Moritz von Bruhl who supported English precision watchmaking finally bring it to Saxony and Dresden in Germany.
With my new watch movement I would like to tie in with this tradition and to honor the Old Masters.
