Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Kudoke

Infinite creative power. Expertise celebrating individuality. Louis Erard x Kudoke’s limited series offers a minimalist design: hours, minutes, seconds. Four models in which the iconic Louis Erard Regulator-type display is revisited through Stefan Kudoke’s technical and aesthetic perspective angle. The question is: how many Kudoke signature twists can you spot?

Louis Erard loves to create extraordinary models through original collaborations, timepieces defying conventions while respecting brand cultures. Stefan Kudoke is not only one of the best-known indie horologists, but also the first independent German master watchmaker to win the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in 2019.

How can you know a collaboration is right? When the joint result surpasses individual talent. Collaboration is about unlocking individual potential while preserving identities, capitalizing on differences and channeling synergies into infinite creative force. It’s this collective strength that enables us to envision unexpected, surprising, sought-after watch designs."

One quote speaks volumes about this collaboration, symbolizing how Manuel Emch and Stefan Kudoke are true kindred spirits. Two visionaries redefining traditional watchmaking, creating watches that convey far more than time through aesthetic understatement and meticulous, carefully designed execution. Standout timepieces that make a powerful impression.

In a nod to Stefan Kudoke's infinity symbol, the collab’ lineup is packed with eight distinctive details of Kudoke’ “Handwork” dials. Four watches in a play on geometry highlighting the Regulator’s "three in-line hands" design through highly recognizable features.

I. Frosted dial or mother-of-pearl dial

II. Blued steel hands

III. Infinity-symbol shaped hours hand

IV. Rhodium-plated railway-track chapter ring & counter rings

V. Roman numerals & dots

VI. Brushed Kudoke & Louis Erard nameplates

VII. Iconic Kudoke colors

VIII. Polished chamfered nameplates and rings

Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Kudoke

Framed by a 42 mm polished stainless steel case, the dial features Kudoke’s distinctive watchface elements. The railway-track chapter ring, two counter rings as well as the “Louis Erard” and “Kudoke” nameplates are satin-finished and rhodium-plated. The “12 o’clock” counter is adorned with a “Clous de Paris” hobnail pattern, a ring bearing Roman numerals counter and the iconic infinity-shaped hours hand, while all hands are in blued steel. The lower part of the dial has a grained finish for a frosted effect and comes in three different colors: purple (limited to 78), forest green (100), light blue (100); while the fourth variation is a collector alert with its white mother-of-pearl dial (78).

Stefan Kudoke - Independent German master watchmaker

Stefan Kudoke embodies the spirit of rebellion in watchmaking, crafting singular mechanical artworks from his Saxony atelier. Known as the pioneering German indie, he was the first independent German master watchmaker to clinch a Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève award in 2019. Kudoke disrupts norms with bespoke creations. After starting at Glashütte Original and honing his skills in New York for renowned brands like Breguet and Blancpain, he launched KUDOKE to craft custom timepieces merging artistic expression with technical excellence. His mastery of skeletonization, hand engraving and artisanal finesse sets him apart, delivering timepieces that defy conventions and celebrate individuality with every tick.
