Product Details

Hand Skeletonized

Designing a piece like the Stefan Kudoke HR 1 requires such extreme attention to detail that only a master watchmaker like Stefan could think it up.  And while the skeletonization is certainly ornate, it is done with such class that the watch is still eminently wearable. 

This watch features hand-skeletonized and hand-engraved movement parts that are electroplated in rose gold.  In addition, the Breguet style hands are flame blued and offer easy legibility, something many skeletonized watches struggle with.

Stefan says it best: "color comes to life with this watch."



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.



Other Details

The hands are in a Breguet style and are tempered in blue.  Color comes through in different ways between the hands, the jewels, the gears, and obviously the electroplated rose gold movement.  The overall effect is stunning.

This watch features a stainless steel case that is 41 mm in diameter with sapphire crystals on both the front and back.  The strap pieces are attached to the lugs by screws.

This watch features a black calf leather strap with a Stefan Kudoke signed tang buckle.
