The dial of the Stefan Kudoke Classic features a distinct guilloche pattern created with a rose engine. The design is truly "classic," with Roman numerals as the hour markers and a constant seconds subdial at 6.
While the appeal of the dial is in its subtleties, turning the watch over reveals Kudoke's extraordinary prowess. The display case back showcases the skeletonized and hand engraved movement, including thermally blued wheels and screws.
The Work
"Hand made" is a designation that we get very tired of hearing from many watch brands. Yes, there is some degree of "hand made" in the final assembly of most mechanical watches, but the real truth is that most of the watches today are produced by CNC computer guided robots, which can cut, polish, engrave and perform many other tasks in a very precise way.
There are certainly parts of this watch produced using CNC technology - after all, the tiny gears must be an exact size to ensure reliable timekeeping.
But what makes Stefan Kudoke's watches different is that "hand made" is really true. Take a minute to enlarge the pictures above and you'll see what hand workmanship is all about. It takes Stefan Kudoke months to create a watch at this level, and this model is rightfully called a work of art.
