Introducing The New Kudoke 3 Nocturne

Within Kudoke’s catalogue, the HANDwerk collection serves as a platform where artisanal techniques take precedence, and where subtle variations in surface, tone, and texture can fundamentally alter the character of a familiar model. Rather than introducing complexity through mechanics, the collection explores how restraint and craftsmanship can create depth. The KUDOKE 3 has long been central to this idea, balancing a classically proportioned case with a dial that rewards close inspection.

In its latest release, the brand introduces the Kudoke 3 Nocturne, a limited edition conceived not as a technical evolution, but as a composed variation that introduces a new design direction within the collection, unified by a darker aesthetic.

The case is crafted from stainless steel and finished entirely with a matte sandblasted surface, a treatment reserved exclusively for this edition. It measures 39 mm in diameter, 12.7 mm in thickness, and 46 mm from lug to lug. Water resistance is rated at 50 metres.

The dial continues the restrained theme through a dark, monochromatic palette. Polished steel hands replace the blued hands found on the regular versions, while the applied indices follow the same muted hue.

Despite its intricate appearance, the watch remains a straightforward time-only piece. Minutes are read conventionally via the long hand tipped with an infinity symbol, which moves around the upper minute track. Hours, however, are displayed using Kudoke’s distinctive three-arm hour hand. The hour scale is divided into three sections on the dial, and only one arm is followed at a time. As one arm reaches the end of its scale, another appears at the start of the next section, with brief overlaps occurring at certain hours.

Powering the watch is the Kaliber 1, a manually wound movement finished with the brand’s distinctive Flakes engraving. The movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and offers a power reserve of 46 hours.

The watch is fitted with a black suede leather strap secured by a stainless steel pin buckle. Production is limited to 20 pieces, with pricing available upon request.
