The Kudoke Free Kudoktopus is a hand‑crafted mechanical timepiece showcasing masterful German engraving and skeletonization. Its 42 mm case, made from 316L stainless steel, is entirely hand‑engraved, including the bezel, lugs, and screwed caseback. Both the dial side and movement side are protected by sapphire crystals, while the strap is secured with screwed strap elements for durability and precision assembly.
At its core, the watch houses a manually wound mechanical movement based on the Unitas 6498, extensively transformed by Kudoke. The calibre measures 36.6 mm in diameter and 4.5 mm in height, with 17 jewels, a frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour, and a 46‑hour power reserve. The movement features a Nivarox balance spring, screw balance, and polished anchor and anchor wheel. Every bridge and component is fully skeletonized and engraved by hand, then electroplated in two contrasting rhodium tones — white and black — to enhance depth and visual drama.

Review
Based on his Kudoktopus masterpiece which features a superb, hand engraved octopus motif which dominates the dial, the Free Kudoktopus by German watchmaker and master engraver takes the original concept one step further, with the creature’s tentacles spilling out from the confines of the inside of the case, to out and over its surfaces, where the stainless steel too has been engrave
