Green Halloween

Who said Halloween must be associated with orange and black? Konstantin Chaykin rejects stereotypes and blindly following recently established traditions – the celebration of the eve of the Feast of All Saints is also possible in green.After all, there was a time when Halloween was already green. Ireland was one of the countries where the celebration of Halloween emerged, and green is the colour with which the country is associated. However, there is not much substance to that simple coincidence. But another fact cannot be considered a coincidence – the famous Jack-o'-lantern, which changed our perceptions of the pumpkin so much that many people do not even realize that pumpkins can be eaten, was originally yellow-green. And those scary faces were cut out not from pumpkins, but from turnips. Only European immigrants in America - much later - introduced the tradition of using pumpkins for this.

On the caseback we find exactly the image you’d expect – but before the Green Halloween watch it was impossible to find: a witch on a broom, appearing together with her accompanying bats against the backdrop of a huge moon. It’s really nice to wear a watch with such an artistic caseback that only you can see.

Especially for the Joker and other models of the Wristmons collection Konstantin Chaykin developed a double-disc display for the hour and minute indications, as well as a moonphase indicator. In the construction and design of the movement, he was guided by the principles of haute horlogerie, despite the fact that the movement is hidden under an opaque dial. Konstantin Chaykin meticulously finished every part of the movement using classic techniques: perlage; fine longitudinal and circular grinding; sandblasting; hand-polished chamfers; engraving; polished screw, pin and jewel recesses; ball polishing of the pivots; and rhodium plating. In total the module includes 8 jewels, designed to reduce friction, while the moonphase indicator is driven by a wheel with 59 teeth.

Caliber: K.07-0 , automatic, made by Konstantin Chaykin Manufacture
Power reserve: 38 hours
Functions: – Joker-indication of time with hour and minute discs; – Moonphase indicator

An incredible sight, this dial is worth seeing up close and in person. The glints and flashes of yellow-green light are literally breathtaking! The moon disc of the smiling moon phase indicator of Chaykin’s Joker has turned from red to green, receiving more texture and volume – it is exactly these qualities which are perceived by connoisseurs of haute horlogerie around the world as trademarks of the high-end dials of the Joker and other Wristmons by Konstantin Chaykin.
