KONSTANTIN CHAYKIN, MINIONS, A LIMITED EDITION TITANIUM WRISTWATCH WITH AN UNUSUAL TIME AND MOONPHASE INDICATION
While watchmaking tends to feature a thoughtful and straight face, Konstantin Chaykin proposes an unconventional approach of recreating watches as kinetic pop art pieces: the 'Wristmons Collection'. The present Minions watch is emotionally faced and you never know what face it is going to be in the next minute.
A two-disk current time module displays with the Minions' eyes as hours and minutes, and a moon phase indicator as the Minions' smile were designed exclusively for the Minions watch. A reliable, time proven automatic ETA caliber is embedded with a friction reducing eight-stone module, while the case has a second crown for adjusting the moon phase.
Of high appeal and extremely unusual, the present timepiece is part of a limited edition of 99 pieces made in titanium, launched in March 2023 and instantly sold-out.
