What to know
Kudoke 5 enlarges the celestial disc of the maker’s earlier work until it becomes the main time display. One half carries a hand-engraved sun, the other a darker star field. A pointer reads against a peripheral twenty-four-hour scale, while the changing composition also communicates day and night.
The steel case measures 38mm, with a strongly domed sapphire crystal bringing the overall height to 12mm. Its hand-wound Kaliber 1-24H_L offers a 46-hour reserve and decorated bridges visible through the back. Announced in May 2025, the model extends Kudoke’s characteristic engraving into a display that asks the wearer to read time differently.
