Kudoke K3 Sky Blue

To commemorate Dubai Watch Week 2025, Kudoke returns with a new model for the ultra-creative, GPHG award-winning K3. This is the all-new K3 “Sky Blue” – an attractive modern colorway for an ultra-modern timepiece.  

At first glance, the sky-blue upper dial immediately distinguishes this model from its predecessors. Inspired by the endless expanse of the heavens above Dubai, the soft blue hue lends the watch a light, serene character. This highlights the refined textures and multi-level architecture that defines the HANDwerk line. The bright tone of the blue dial also provides a striking contrast to the thermally blued steel hands, allowing their deep, vibrant color to shine beautifully against the subtle background.

Beyond the new colorway, the K3 is an exceptional timepiece, first gathering attention for its unusual display of time. Placed on an attached plate and divided into three dials on the level below the central dial, the hour is indicated with the help of a triple-armed hour hand, each hand with different lengths running between the two dials. When one arm of the hand reaches the end of the hour scale, the next longer or shorter arm appears at the beginning of the next hour scale. Hours 2, 6 and 10 are then shown twice on different scales before the current hand arm moves on. A call back to Stefan Kudoke’s experience at Glashütte Original, where one of the timepieces features a similar mechanism on the small-second sundial. It’s an extremely novel and creative way of designing the third-iteration in the brand’s HANDwerk collection. 

As with previous models, the understated 39mm stainless steel case with classic onion crown and 10.3 mm case height provides an appropriate setting for this classic yet extravagant watch, the heart of which, KALIBER 1, is exposed through the sapphire crystal case back. Another spectacular timepiece from Kudoke, the K3 “Sky Blue” balances high-level watchmaking with honest prices.
