KudOktopus
The German term “Kunstwerk” means “Work of Art.” This collection constitutes Stefan’s artistic flights of hand skeletonized and engraved mechanical art. The beauty of these pieces is in the discovery of the underlying mechanical movement – wheels, springs, levers – visible through the skeletonize plate and bridges; and it is in timepieces with elaborately handmade dials coupled with assiduously skeletonized and engraved movements in back
Captivating – with its eight all-embracing tentacles KudOktopus wrapped in roségold and rhodium entangles the steadily swinging balance.
Sculptured by hand from the movement plate and bridges with the help of a small saw and later engraved, a lifelike octopus is created that holds wheels and screws and thus captures time.
