LOUIS ERARD X KUDOKE

OUT OF THE ORDINARY. RETHOUGHT CLASSICS. UNIQUE SIGNATURES. BOLD AESTHETICS.
UNLIMITED CREATIVE POTENTIAL. EXPERTISE THAT CELEBRATES INDIVIDUALITY.

The Louis Erard x Kudoke limited series embodies a minimalist design – hours, minutes, seconds – in four models. Each revisits the iconic Louis Erard Regulator through the technical and aesthetic vision of Stefan Kudoke. The real question: how many Kudokes can you spot?

Louis Erard is renowned for its passion for creating exceptional watches, the fruit of original collaborations. Pieces that transform standards while paying homage to the DNA of each brand. As for Stefan Kudoke, no introduction is necessary. This independent master watchmaker, crowned with the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie in 2019, is recognised as one of the most talented of his generation.

‘When is a collaboration successful? When the collective effort transcends individual talents. A good collaboration multiplies strengths, while preserving the identities of each individual. We firmly believe in the union of collective and individual intelligence. Together, these two forces produce unexpected and sought-after watch designs.’

ONE SENTENCE CAN SUM UP THIS COLLABORATION: IT ILLUSTRATES THE COMPLICITY AND HARMONY BETWEEN MANUEL EMCH AND STEFAN KUDOKE.
Two visionaries reinventing traditional watchmaking, creating watches that offer much more than just the time, with understated elegance and impeccable craftsmanship. Unique pieces that leave a lasting impression.

Inspired by the infinity symbol dear to Stefan Kudoke, this collaborative collection unveils 8 distinctive signatures of KUDOKE’s ‘Handwerk’ dials. Four watches in which the ‘three hands in a row’ of the Regulator take shape in boldly recognisable strokes.

Distinctive features :

Dial with frosted or mother-of-pearl finish
Blued steel hands
Hour hand in the shape of an infinity symbol
Rhodium-plated track ring and counters
Roman numerals and dot hour markers
Brushed KUDOKE & LOUIS ERARD nameplates
Emblematic KUDOKE colour palette

THE LOUIS ERARD X KUDOKE REGULATOR
A 42 mm polished stainless steel case enhanced by distinctive Kudoke elements.
The dial features a railway ring, two counters and two satin-finished and rhodium-plated nameplates engraved with ‘LOUIS ERARD’ and ‘KUDOKE’.

At 12 o’clock, a counter adorned with the ‘Clous de Paris’ motif, with a Roman numeral ring and the emblematic infinity-shaped hour hand.

All the hands are made of blued steel.
Three models feature a grained-finish dial and unique colours: violet (78 pieces), forest green (100 pieces), and light blue (100 pieces). A fourth edition, rare and collectible, features a white mother-of-pearl dial (78 pieces).
