Explore a stunning quartet of German independent watches, including Georg and Kudoke, shared by enthusiasts in Irvine. Discover exceptional craftsmanship.

Tim Jackson recounts a delightful gathering in Irvine with a fellow enthusiast of independent watchmaking, showcasing a quartet of German-made timepieces. This post celebrates the shared passion for horology and the unique experience of appreciating these watches in person.

I had the enormous pleasure of meeting up with an enthusiast if Independent watchmaking, whom I’ve conversed with over the past 6 years online.
We got to enjoy a couple of hours of horology geeking out and he had some stunning pieces to share. Amongst them were two lovely manual wind pieces, to go with my Georg and Kudoke 1.
It’s good to meet in person, as the people are great, but the watches are so much more too😉
HAGWE All,
Cheers,
Tim
