Konstantin Chaykin Joker Edition Limited Collection
In Baselworld 2017, Konstantin Chaykin presented his first Joker timepiece, for which he won a GPHG Award in the “Audacity” category the following year. Only the Swiss watch industry would have such a dramatic category, and Chaykin has since expanded beyond the clown motif by creating the diverse “Wristmons” (abbreviation for Wrist Monsters) series. The 42mm stainless steel case of The Joker features a wide, sloped bezel with several delightfully engraved playing card symbols, including the J at 12 o’clock and the spade, heart, diamond, and club. For each engraved element there are two surrounding screws used to hold the bezel on the case body. Symmetrically distributed cut-outs balance the bezel. Joker has two crowns completing the watch face with “ears”. The right crown is used to set the time and the left is a fixed piece featuring a recessed pusher for moon phase adjustments. The dial, which covers the entire face, is the Joker watch’s true star. Instead of hands, Joker’s pupils are used to show the time. The pupils rotate to indicate the time, on either a 12-hour or 60-minute scale. A moon phase that looks like a tongue is located in an aperture designed to look like a smile on the dial’s lower half. The face of the Joker is decorated with two guilloche patterns, a wavy, radial motif on the silver-plated dial, and a hobnail pattern on the ruthenium-plated nose.
The Joker is capable of displaying 20,000 distinct facial expressions that shift with the passage of time and the positions of the moon phases. This timepiece is a great example of the imaginative art of making your own watch.
