Great question.
Aug 22, 2021,15:07 PM
For me, the decision was made for me by the person who worked with Stefan to design the ten piece edition, so my choice was simply do I want to purchase this piece or not. Obviously my choice was yes, and I have to say a big part of that decision included the appeal of the fully engraved backside and how it completed the theme on this particular edition.
This was the Grüner Wald Edition in which the green dial was to represent of the green forests in the area surrounding Stefan’s workshop. The engraved backside continues this theme with traditional leafy engravings. As a master engraver, I also loved the idea of giving him a full canvass to express his signature craft. So to me, the piece even more fully represents the ethos of a watch produced by Stefan, and it ties the philosophical idea for this specific piece together more completely.

In honor of ArmisE’s recent breathtaking acquisition I’d like to start a kudoke 2 roll-call. May the wrist shots of all of the versions come out, in celebration of Stefan’s brilliance. Have a good day all Hussam ...
Excellent shot in that first picture!

You know, at a certain angle it looks a bit like tiger eye stone…which isn’t a bad idea for another Kudoke iteration 🤔. Actually, a number of gemstones would be very cool…but I don’t know how hard it would be for Stefan to do. Nevertheless, since Dr. H ha...
Wow. This version looks even more impressive than the press photos.

The MOP makes it stand out from all the other versions. I have to read about the different MOP. Where the caseback shot? Don’t hold back, Dr. A 😜 As for your comment about it looking like tiger eye, I’m sure that Stefan can do anything that he puts his mi...

That upgraded movement finishing is worth every cent. And nice to see that they have moved to straps with quick release. My macro shooting skills need a lot of work, but @cluelesscollector had shared with me his iPhone-compatible macro lens. Happy to shar...

Words of appreciation and a question

Thanks to LankySudanese for starting this thread. All of the variants posted above show how well the watch works as a basic template. I'll be joining this company by January with the new version in rose gold with the black dial. Now, to my question. While...
Here’s my reasoning for foregoing the fully-engraved plate:
By: Lankysudanese : August 21st, 2021-07:08
I basically fully-believe in having different finishing techniques and textures in a movement. Engraved balance cock and brand/name plate. Frosted finish fo the base plays. Circular graining and solarization on the two wheels, and beveling of the edges. T...
Ah. Even more reasons.
By: Lankysudanese : August 21st, 2021-18:21
Even though we have our reasons, Stefan wouldn’t have entertained all these options if he felt that any one of them interferes with the totality of the watch’s design, which got him his GPHG
