Kudoke 5

Description

Kudoke 5

Kudoke is renowned for its striking designs, attention to detail and unique interpretation of time. Building upon the award-winning Kudoke 2 model, the highly unique Kudoke 5 sets new standards in design, technology, and craftsmanship.

Unlike Kudoke 2, where the 24-hour display played a supporting role, in K5 it literally becomes the star. The centre of the dial features a magnificent, domed, hand-engraved celestial disk, which completes one full rotation every 24 hours with a golden triangle on the night side to mark time in 15-minute-intervals.

The time display of the Kudoke 5 is so intuitive that a brief glance suffices to immediately understand whether it is day or night. The portion of the disk visible in the upper half represents the current time. However, this function is more than just an alternative time display—it mirrors life’s natural rhythm, following the sun as it rises and sets along the horizon.

The intricately hand-engraved celestial disk invites exploration, revealing new details—just like gazing at the night sky. Through a meticulous process, the different sections of the disk undergo sequential galvanic treatments in yellow gold, white, and black rhodium, enhancing the contrast and further accentuating the engravings in striking relief to mimic their natural elements. A closer look reveals the constellation Ursa Minor (Little Bear), with Polaris, the brightest star of the formation, serving as a guiding point in the northern hemisphere for centuries.

Framing the celestial disk is a two-part dial ring, divided into easily readable 15-minute increments to enhance legibility. The finely crafted diamond-cut edges create a unique play of light, making the watch shine in ever-changing facets depending on the angle of light.

Kudoke 5 is a true start in the collection and is designed with functionality, creativity, and a spark of intrigue to ensure it brings joy for many days and nights.
