Independent German watchmaker Stefan Kudoke has expanded his HANDwerk collection with a new interpretation of the Kudoke 3 - the Kudoke 3 Sky Blue debuts at Dubai Watch Week 2025 with a new soothing blue dial, bringing a contemporary tone to the collection’s signature three-hand display.
The timepiece retains the line’s aesthetics and the underlying mechanical concept. The watch continues to be housed in a 39 mm × 10.3 mm stainless steel case, fully polished and shaped with a stepped bezel and short lugs for comfort. The onion-style crown, engraved with Kudoke’s “K”, keeps the aesthetic aligned with the rest of the HANDwerk family. The watch is water-resistant up to 50 metres.
Capped by a sapphire crystal, the dial features a two-part frosted construction, just like the other Kudoke 3 timepieces. For this edition, the upper level appears in a soft frosted sky blue, matched with a rhodium-plated chapter ring. This layer sits above the familiar silvered lower dial, which carries the rhodium plated hour indication plate, divided into three sectors. The hour is read via Kudoke 3’s distinctive heat-blued three-arm hour hand, with each arm of different length taking over the hour indication in turns, moving between the two dials. When one arm reaches the end of its hour track, the next longer or shorter arm comes into view at the start of the following track. As a result, hours 2, 6, and 10 appear twice on separate scales before the active arm progresses to the next hour. The minutes are set by a heat-blued infinity-shaped hand, matching an infinity mark positioned at the 60-minute point on the chapter ring. Other subtle details, such as the four screws at the 10, 20, 40, and 50-minute indicators, and an applied KUDOKE logo plate, complete the dial.
Powering the watch is Kudoke’s in-house Kaliber 1, built on a Habring² base architecture but designed, assembled, and finished in Kudoke’s own workshop. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), and provides a 46-hour power reserve. The calibre is decorated with a frosted hand-finished wheel bridge and a hand-engraved balance cock.
The timepiece is offered on either a leather or Alcantara strap, both fitted with a stainless steel pin buckle, with an option of a folding clasp. For collectors who prefer a warmer tone, the model can also be produced in 5N rose gold upon request, and straps or buckles in rose gold can be ordered to pair with the precious-metal case.
Priced at approx. INR 11,92,000, the Kudoke 3 Sky Blue is available directly from the brand and selected retail partners.
