LVMH's first round of 2020 watchmaking novelties is being unveiled in the luxurious Dubai Bvlgari Hotel today. So what could be more fitting that a quick peek at the highlight of Bvlgari's watchmaking releases: the Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon. In keeping with Bvlgari's recent tradition of setting world records in the watchmaking arena, this new Serpenti Seduttori collection features the smallest tourbillon on the market today.GENESIS OF THE SERPENTIIt's worthwhile remembering that Bvlgari's watchmaking adventure began in the late 1940s when designers had the idea of transforming an existing - and very popular – high jewellery snake bracelet into a secret watch.

Hands-On With The New and Original Kudoke 3 HANDwerk
Stefan Kudoke and his unique and intricate timepieces incorporating elements of traditional watchmaking with modern designs and super-fine execution have been known to collectors and watch enthusiasts for quite some time before his Kudoke 2 watch won the Petite Aiguille at the 2019 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve (GPHG).

And he is busy making unique, bespoke watches that fall into the YOURwerk collection. So it is understandable why we had to wait four years to lay our hands on a new, just recently released Kudoke 3.Kudoke 3 is another fine timepiece from the German watchmaker that continues to pursue the design and aesthetics introduced in Kudoke 1 and 2. It is launched in the same 39mm round
