ABOUT THIS WATCH

The choice of titanium for the Joker Titanium Limited Edition was not accidental. The use of this metal in aviation, marine and aerospace technology has always brought clear advantages. In watchmaking, titanium is used as a lighter alternative to stainless steel. It is slightly darker than steel and is seen as technical, even brutal, rather than decorative. To produce the titanium parts of the Joker Titanium case, Konstantin Chaykin has developed a special technology that allows the high standards of workmanship of the steel versions of the original Joker watch to be maintained in the titanium version.

PRODUCTION

There is something special about observing the watch being built. It is not just a mechanical process, but a true art in which the meticulous work of the master craftsman is combined with the precision of technical thinking. Assembling a watch is something that can fascinate, inspire and convey a sense of wonder.


СASEBACK

The letter “J” is engraved in the center of the titanium caseback, while the unique serial number of the timepiece, which was produced in a limited edition of 88 pieces, is engraved on the edge.

MOVEMENT

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; engravings; 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.

CASE

When creating the case of the Joker Titanium watch, Konstantin Chaykin decided to keep the design elements of the original Joker watch on the bezel, which shows the symbols of the “Five of a Kind” poker hand, the highest possible hand, which is a symbol of incredible luck. .

Case dimensions: Diameter 42 mm; 13.7 mm thick.

GUILLOCHE PATTERN

The dial of the Joker Titanium watch is decorated with a guilloché relief with a step, as used by the great Russian jeweler Karl Fabergé. Chaykin modified the Clous de Paris guilloché pattern by adding a step to each pyramid and used it to decorate the nose of the Joker dial. This guilloché pattern is only used in the Joker Titanium Limited Edition.
