In keeping with Gerald Charles’s “No Compromise” watchmaking philosophy, established by Mr. Genta more than a quarter of a century ago, the Masterlink Perpetual Calendar introduces an in-house, asymmetrical, automatic perpetual calendar calibre with a three-counter display.

Independent German watchmaker Stefan Kudoke has built a strong reputation in the world of artisanal horology. Known for the HANDwerk collection, the brand has earned recognition through meticulous hand-finishing, a distinctive design language, and true in-house craftsmanship. This approach reached a high point in 2024 when the salmon-dial KUDOKE 3 won the prestigious Petite Aiguille prize at the GPHG. One year later, Kudoke unveils a new chapter for the model with the debut of the Kudoke 3 Sky Blue at Dubai Watch Week 2025, marking the brand’s first participation in the event.

The watch is housed in a stainless steel case measuring 39 mm in diameter and 10.3 mm in thickness. Fully polished, it features an onion-shaped crown, sapphire crystals on both sides, and a construction that includes a screwed bezel and caseback. It is water-resistant to 50 meters and offers a full view of the in-house movement through the sapphire caseback.

The design follows the multi-layered architecture of the HANDwerk line. A frosted silver lower dial with rhodinized plates displays the three-sector hour system, while a sky-blue frosted upper dial brings a bright, serene character inspired by the open skies of Dubai. Thermally blued steel hands add contrast, with the minute hand featuring the collection’s signature infinity symbol. The hour hand uses Kudoke’s three-arm display, with each arm of different length taking over time-telling duties across its respective scale.

Visible through the caseback is the hand-wound Kaliber 1, made in-house and decorated entirely by hand. It operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and offers a 46-hour power reserve. The movement includes a frosted wheel bridge and a hand-engraved balance cock incorporating the infinity motif.

The watch is delivered on either a leather or Alcantara strap and can be paired with a stainless steel pin buckle. An 18-carat rose-gold buckle or a stainless steel folding clasp is also available on request. The price is EUR 9,584, approximately AED 40,750.
