Kudoke

[Rexplorer214270]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had a Kudoke and what their experience has been with the watch. I just recently learned about the Kudoke 1 and 2 and the watches seem really impressive. I got to handle the Salmon dial Kudoke 2 and it was impressive.

don't own one but tried it on a year ago. debated ordering one but ended up not, forget exactly why. seems nicely made, I like the 2 in particular. only minor concerns I had was the case felt clunky, but that's personal preference and the movement looks a little phallic to me.

You beat me to it. I have the same issue. I just can’t get past the movements similarities to male genitalia. I know..I know this is such a stupid reason, but I just can’t unsee it. If that changed I’d definitely consider getting one.

Here is my kudoke. Really love it. The movement actually gets inspired from pocket watch. The kudoke3 will be shown soon next week so the dial design may look different.

Beautiful watch. Thanks for sharing. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out on the Kudoke 3.

Beautiful. Would you say it was worth money? (Relatively speaking) Is it comparable to Journe?

Completely different to Journe IMHO. Kudoke makes beautiful designs but not exactly pushing the boundaries of horology like Journe did/does.

it does not belong to FPJ league as FPJ is more about innovative design and mechanism. Personally I feel my Kudoke definitely worth my money since it has some touches on the British Heritage, which can be seen from the movement engraving and yellow "grenage" dial

The dial looks great! I had them on my radar for awhile but never pulled the trigger. How’s the fit on your wrist?

my wrist size is only 15cm and still handles it very well. the diameter is only 39-39.5mm

Curious— is it hand carved or stamped?

What a beautiful watch! I don't know much about this brand but a piece like that tells me quite a bit about them in some ways, very nice.

I've been interested in K2 for sometime. Now you ruined my interest
