LE RÉGULATEUR LOUIS ERARD X KUDOKE PURPLE 85237AA46.BVA173

LOUIS ERARD X KUDOKE

OUT OF THE ORDINARY. CLASSIC FORMULAS. UNIQUE SIGNATURES. AESTHETICS.
INFINITE CREATIVE POWER. CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT CELEBRATES INDIVIDUALITY. THE LOUIS ERARD X KUDOKE LIMITED SERIES FEATURES A MINIMALIST DESIGN – HOURS, MINUTES, SECONDS. FOUR MODELS IN WHICH THE ICONIC LOUIS ERARD REGULATOR DISPLAY IS SHAPED BY STEFAN KUDOKE’S TECHNICAL AND AESTHETIC ANGLES. THE QUESTION: HOW MANY KUDOKE SIGNATURES DO YOU HAVE?

LOUIS ERARD, loves, creates extraordinary pieces born of original collaborations, watches that revisit standards while respecting each brand culture. Do we still need to introduce Stefan Kudoke? He is not only one of the most prominent independent master watchmakers, but also the first independent master watchmaker to win the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie in 2019.

‘How do you know when a collaboration is successful? When the collective result surpasses the individual talent. Collaboration means leveraging each person’s potential, preserving their individual identities, capitalising on differences and turning synergies into an infinite creative force. We believe in the power of the collective and individual intelligence. It is the combined sum of these two forces that enables us to create watch designs that are unexpected because they are surprising, and expected because they are sought-after. ’

A SINGLE QUOTE IS ENOUGH TO REPRESENT THIS COLLABORATION, SYMBOLISING THE COMPLICITY AND CONNIVANCE OF MANUEL EMCH AND STEFAN KUDODE.
TWO VISIONARIES WHO LIKE TO REDEFINE TRADITIONAL WATCHMAKING, CREATING WATCHES THAT TELL MORE THAN JUST THE TIME, WITH SOBER AESTHETICS AND METICULOUS, THOUGHTFUL CRAFTSMANSHIP… PIECES THAT STAND OUT AND MAKE A LASTING IMPRESSION.

With a nod to Stefan Kudoke’s infinity symbol, the collection born of the collab’ reveals 8 distinctive signatures of KUDOKE “Handwerk” dials. 4 watches in which the “three hands in a row” of the Regulator see their geometric play asserted in highly recognisable strokes.

I. Dial with frosted or mother-of-pearl finish
II. Blued steel hands
III. Hour hand in the shape of an infinity symbol
IV. Rhodium-plated track and counter rings
V. Roman numerals and dots
VI. Brushed KUDOKE & LOUIS ERARD name plates
