Kudoke

Founded in 2004 by Stefan Kudoke in Karlsruhe, Germany. Stefan Kudoke earned his Meisterbrief (master craftsman certificate) at age 22, one of the youngest watchmakers in Germany to achieve this. He worked for German watch brands in Glashütte before becoming an independent master watchmaker. The brand gained international recognition when the Kudoke 2 won the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève in the Petite Aiguille category in 2019, making Stefan Kudoke the first independent watchmaker from Germany to receive this honor. All watches feature high hand-finishing of components, with the in-house Kaliber 1 movement serving as the foundation of the HANDwerk collection.
