Celebrating 20 years of KUDOKE’s watchmaking mastery with a 20-piece SHH exclusive release.
Sincere Fine Watches proudly presents the KUDOKE 2 SHH Edition, an exclusive release commemorating 20 years of KUDOKE’s independent watchmaking. Limited to just 20 pieces, this special edition celebrates two decades of German craftsmanship and artistry, while reflecting the shared horological values between KUDOKE and Sincere Fine Watches. The collaboration reaffirms Sincere’s commitment to championing independent watchmaking as the Asia’s Premier Watch Specialist.
Founded in 2004 by Stefan Kudoke, one of the youngest watchmakers in Germany to earn the prestigious Meisterbrief at just 22 years old, KUDOKE has earned international recognition for its distinctive interpretation of traditional craftsmanship. As both an AHCI-member and GPHG laureate, Stefan Kudoke has shaped the brand’s signature style, defined by refined hand-finishing and mechanical ingenuity. Each timepiece is meticulously crafted using traditional techniques and finished entirely in-house. This mastery of watchmaking was most recently reaffirmed in 2024, when the KUDOKE 3 “Salmon” received a GPHG accolade — underscoring the brand’s horological excellence, shaped over two decades of technical precision and artisanal craft.
Honouring Kudoke’s GPHG-recognised excellence, the SHH Edition debuts the “Flakes” dial in the KUDOKE 2 series.
This SHH Edition pays tribute to the KUDOKE 2 — the timepiece that earned Stefan Kudoke the “Petite Aiguille” award at the 2019 GPHG, marking a historic first for a German independent watchmaker. Building on that award-winning legacy, this SHH Edition is the first in the KUDOKE 2 series to feature the signature “Flakes” dial — a striking new variant exclusive to Sincere.
The KUDOKE 2 SHH Edition represents a poetic interpretation of time, realised through exceptional artisanal finesse. Adorned with celestial motifs, the sky disc reflects the seamless passage of time from day to night, while the “Flakes” dial serves as a shimmering canvas. Its delicately hand-engraved surface catches and reflects light in subtle, shifting tones. This interplay of detail and depth reveals a timepiece where mechanical precision meets artistry – where every passing hour becomes a moment to savour.
A textured masterpiece: where light animates every engraved stroke.
A Dial of Horological Virtuosity
Making its debut in the KUDOKE 2 series, the SHH Edition unveils the “Flakes” dial in a delicate light champagne rosé hue. Meticulously hand-engraved by skilled artisans, each dial is sculpted through the gradual carving of tiny flakes across its surface—shaping a textured landscape that dances with light and shimmers with brilliance at every subtle shift in movement. Each of the 20 pieces reveals its own visual rhythm, offering a quiet tribute to the timeless artistry of handcrafted horology.
Crowning the dial at 12 o’clock, the rotating domed sky disc is a signature of the KUDOKE 2 collection, elevated with horological distinction. Enabled by a dial-side modification of the in-house Kaliber 1, this 24-hour indication traces the arc of day and night through its meticulously hand-engraved and electroplated disc. The sunlit half gleams in warm rose tones, while the starry night side glimmers in cool rhodium—its moon, stars, and arrow marker are illuminated by blue Super-LumiNova. Luminous detailing elevates the complication beyond function, evoking a sense of celestial wonder by casting an ethereal glow across the light champagne rosé dial, while improving legibility in low-light conditions.

A Symphony of Symbols
Framing the dial and rotating domed sky disc are rhodium-plated chapter rings, where Roman and Arabic numerals stand in deliberate contrast. True to the ‘HANDwerk’ collection’s distinctive design language, the KUDOKE 2 SHH Edition also features its signature infinity-shaped hour hand. Flame-blued and enhanced with green Super-LumiNova for legibility, the hands’ elegant arcs reflect the eternal flow of time, creating a subtle interplay with the dial’s textured surface and the celestial display—culminating in a harmonious visual symphony.
Powering this timepiece is KUDOKE’s in-house Kaliber 1-24H movement: A 4 Hz, hand-finished heartbeat with 46 hours of power reserve.
The Artisan’s Engine: Kaliber 1-24H
Powering this timepiece is KUDOKE’s in-house Kaliber 1-24H, a manual-wound movement with a 46-hour power reserve. Drawing inspiration from historic English pocket watches and perfected through Kudoke’s mastery of skeletonised design, the movement is exquisitely hand-finished—from polished edges to intricately engraved components, offering a captivating view to be admired through the sapphire caseback. This fusion of technical excellence and artisanal finesse captures Kudoke’s philosophy of horology as wearable art.
The Art of Proportions
Housed in a 39mm stainless steel case, the KUDOKE 2 SHH Edition balances refined proportions with meticulous craftsmanship — a true expression of horological elegance. Paired with a blue alligator-print bovine leather strap, it offers a discreet contrast that allows the textured dial and luminous sky disc to take visual precedence.
The 20-piece KUDOKE 2 SHH Edition will be available at selected Sincere Fine Watches and SHH Boutiques, with a retail price of SGD $22,000 (including GST). Enquire here to find out more.
