Independents

An Independent appreciation

 

By wearing more of this Bauhinia version of the Kudoke2, I’m noting my growing feeling of appreciation for the efforts required of these independent watchmakers.  From a wider perspective, I find it interesting how the market craze that rendered so many previously available watches difficult to obtain motivated a major interest in independent watchmakers.  This of course all underscores the effects of technology/communications and sociobehavioral effects that we are all experiencing to different degrees.  Moreover, you can project that these influences will continue to drive the continued success of independent watch brands, which is certainly deserved given the truly amazing products that they put out.  Case in point is Groenefeld, which had to pause taking of orders.  In comparison, Kudoke also seems to be slowly gaining more interest, in particular because of the Kudoke2 it all it’s various iterations.  It’s not in the same category (technically or aesthetically) as Groenefeld, but it has its fans, just like a select number of other independents.
