Konstantin Chaykin Joker
Russian inventor and independent watchmaker Konstantin Chaykin presents Joker, a novelty timepiece featuring a unique moon-phase display that can bring instant smile to its owner’s face anytime.
Watch with a classical dial is truly impressive just for few times a day. Every watch with hands in dial modestly laughs at 10:10 and 13:50, and expresses moderate sadness at 15:40 and 20:20.
The ‘Joker’ watch, presented by Konstantin Chaykin at BaselWorld-2017 jewellery and watch fair, is fitted with disk hours and minutes indicators as well as moonphase display.
New ‘Joker’ obviously has non-poker face because it is highly emotional and unpredictable – every minute. We counted that human eye will easily recognize more than twenty thousands of various grimaces, from hopelessly moody at full-moon 15:42 to flamy tongue-in-cheek at first quarter of the moon 15:48.
Especially for ‘Joker’ watch, Konstantin Chaykin developed module with double-disk time indication (hours and minutes as Joker eyes) and moon-phase display (Joker’s recognizable smile).
Module has 8 jewels for friction reduction, it is mounted on tried and tested ‘workhorse’ automatic winding Caliber ETA 2824-2. Additional fixed crown set in 9-o’clock position is fitted with recessed corrector provided for correcting the moon-phase display.
The Konstantin Chaykin ‘Joker’ watch is available in a stainless steel. This edition is limited to 99 pieces.
