Kudoke 2 Nocturne

How do I bid? Start here

Introduction

Founded by Stefan Kudoke, Kudoke is a German independent watchmaker famed for their stunningly executed, competitively priced timepieces and for having won 2020’s GPHG “Petite Aiguille” award. Launched in late 2020 and inspired by the night sky, as its name suggests, the Nocturne features a beautifully finished stainless steel case and a frosted grey anthracite dial with a beautifully intricate hand-engraved AM/PM indicator at 12 o’clock. With a silver chapter ring along the dial’s periphery and along the AM/PM indicator, the Nocturne’s monochromatic aesthetic is stunning. Of course, like most of Kudoke’s work, the Nocturne’s piece de resistance is its manual-wind in-house cal. 1-24H movement, which is proudly on display behind its sapphire crystal caseback. Hand-finished to a high standard, the Nocturne demonstrates just how good value Kudoke’s timepieces are - considering the level of care and meticulous attention paid to its surfaces. Limited to just 20 pieces worldwide, the Nocturne is as rare as they come, and considering how stunning it is, there is certainly no doubt an excess of collectors that would love to add this timepiece to their collections.

THE DIAL

In conjunction with its night sky inspiration, the Nocturne's grey anthracite dial provides the perfect backdrop for its hand-engraved AM/PM indicator with a gold-plated day hemisphere and grey night hemisphere.

THE CONSTRUCTION

Made of stainless steel and featuring nicely downturned lugs and a stepped bezel, the Nocturne's construction is as refined and elegant as its dial.
