Konstantin Chaykin is one of the most original independent watchmakers working today. He is best known for the Joker, a watch whose dial is a grinning face that tells the time, and for a whole family of playful “Wristmons” built on serious, in-house complications. Luxury Bazaar carries pre-owned and unworn Konstantin Chaykin watches, each authenticated and backed by our 2-year warranty.
Who Is Konstantin Chaykin?
Konstantin Chaykin is an independent watchmaker based in Moscow, who has been designing and making his own clocks and watches since 2003. He is known for inventive complications, including astronomical watches and calendars, and he was the first watchmaker from Russia to become a member of the AHCI, the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants, the association of the world’s leading independent watchmakers.
The Konstantin Chaykin Joker
The Joker turned Chaykin into a cult name among collectors. Its dial is a face: the two “eyes” are rotating discs that show the hours and the minutes, and the red tongue in the grinning mouth is a moon phase indicator. The result is a watch that is instantly recognizable and genuinely funny, but also a real piece of fine watchmaking, with a custom module built by Chaykin’s workshop.
Wristmons and Other Collections
- Joker: the original Wristmon, made in many dial variations and limited editions, including collaborations with other brands and retailers.
- Kolobok and other Wristmons: “Wristmons” is short for “wrist monsters,” a family of character watches that use the same eyes-and-mouth display, each with its own personality.
- Minions: limited editions featuring the Minions characters, made under license.
