Explore m2's unexpected Kudoke acquisition with a stunning aventurine dial. Discover collector insights on the brand, its founders, and the unique appeal of independent watchmaking.

In a serendipitous turn, m2's recent acquisition of a Kudoke timepiece, sparked by an unplanned encounter at Sydel in Chicago, highlights the undeniable allure of independent watchmaking. This article delves into m2's experience, showcasing how a captivating aventurine dial can instantly forge a connection, even for a seasoned collector with no prior intention of purchasing the brand.

Walked into Sydel while in Chicago and left with this. Had zero intentions of buying a Kudoke but Jonathan there showed this to us and my wife fell in love with it. I’m a big fan of aventurine too so it was easy to pull the trigger.

Stunning dial! I’m definitely a Kudoke fan👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

But I’ve never seen this ‘pure’ dial design. I’m aware of the K1 and K2. Is this piece a special edition?

Yes

It’s their new simple series called the infinity I think!
