KUDOKE is a German watch brand known for its handcrafted, artistic timepieces that blend traditional watchmaking techniques with unique, intricate designs. The brand emphasizes individuality and craftsmanship, offering watches that are both functional and visually captivating.


KUDOKE is a German independent watch brand founded by Stefan Kudoke, a watchmaker trained in the Glashütte tradition. The brand is known for highly individual skeletonized and engraved watches produced in very small numbers, with a strong emphasis on hand-craft and artistic expression. Kudoke's work combines the technical precision of German watchmaking with a more personal, artisanal aesthetic — making it a favourite among collectors who appreciate watches as functional art objects.
The Kudograph is KUDOKE's chronograph reference — notable for featuring an entirely hand-engraved movement visible through the open-worked dial. Stefan Kudoke performs much of the engraving himself, meaning each piece is genuinely unique rather than merely limited. The Kudograph demonstrates that contemporary German watchmaking can achieve artistic depth comparable to Swiss grand feu enamel traditions, but through a different craft medium. It has been recognised at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève.
KUDOKE emerges from the Glashütte watchmaking tradition — the German equivalent of the Swiss Vallée de Joux, known for its distinctive three-quarter plate, screw balance, and swan-neck spring regulator. Stefan Kudoke trained within this tradition before establishing his own brand, and KUDOKE watches retain hallmarks of Glashütte finishing standards while adding a layer of personal artistic expression through engraving. The brand sits alongside A. Lange & Söhne, Glashütte Original, and Moritz Grossmann as a representative of German horological excellence.
