Konstantin Chaykin Joker ‘Time Only’ Limited Edition

Konstantin Chaykin Joker ‘Time Only’ Limited Edition

Without a doubt one of the coolest watches we’ve ever had through the door, and a watch that shows what artisinal independent watchmaking is all about.

Coming from the brilliant mind of Konstantin Chaykin, and revealed in Baselworld 2017, the Joker launched what is now known as the Wristmon series and has since spawned many variations that have become extremely desired on the secondary market.

This particular version is known as the Time Only Limited Edition, and was made for the Australian retailer of Konstantin Chaykin in a limited run of 3 pieces. It has a 42mm steel case, within which lies the face of a Joker. The right eye rotates around and is used for the hour indicator, the left eye for the minutes. The tongue is a moonphase, adjusted by a pusher in the left crown. It’s powered by a modified ETA movement allowing for the crazy time display.

While it could be seen a pure novelty, the watchmaking on display is spectacular, and the use of colours, materials and finishes is extremely well thought out and executed. It’s a mesmerising piece of horological art, and isn’t this what these things are about?

This piece was delivered in 2021, and presents in TZ Good condition. There’s a few light scratches on the bezel, and some light scratches and small rub marks on the case. Case back also shows some light scratches. The bezel shows a couple of very minor nicks on its outer edge, which is the reason for the ‘Good’ rather than ‘Excellent’ grading. Please see images for full condition details.

No service history, far too new for that. Keeping COSC time and all functions operating as they should.

Includes outer box, inner box, welcome card, instruction manual, warranty booklet and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.
