KONSTANTIN CHAYKIN, LIMITED EDITION STEEL CLOWN WATCH, NO. 18/27
Of high appeal and extremely unusual, the present timepiece is numbered 18 of a limited edition of 27 pieces made in stainless steel. Furthermore, offered in “like” new condition. In 2018, the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève awarded the present model with the “Daring Watch price”.
“The Russian watchmaker and inventor Konstantin Chaykin believes that it is not sufficient for the classical mechanical watch to have only the chronometric accuracy and high-quality assembling today. In addition, they have to carry certain emotions for their owner and possess accurately formulated art message. Therefore, the creator of an extraordinary Joker, being a great fan of works of Stephen King, the world-renowned "king of horrors", decided that the new version of the conquered Baselworld-2017 watches should coincide with release of the screen version of the novel "IT"”
