“When God stopped speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him two tables of revelation, stone tables, on which it was written with the finger of God.” This is how the God gave his Ten Commandments or the Decalogue to Moses, who brought the Jews out of Egypt. Today these divine prescriptions are inscribed on the dial of the eponymous watch, created at the Konstantin Chaykin manufactory.
The prototype of the “Decalogue” was one of the tourist attractions in the Czech Republic – the clock on the tower of the Jewish Town Hall in Prague, created in 1764. An unending influx of tourists to the ancient tower clock is caused by the fact that their arrows go in the opposite direction, and the Hebrew letters play the role of figures.
For watches on Jewish theme, Konstantin Chaykin developed his own mechanism with a reversal movement of arrows, which literally count down the time! It may seem that this “revolt” against watch traditions is due only to the desire to impress the public by breaking stereotypes, but for the Jews and scholars of Kabbalah there is a deep sacred meaning here.
Decalogue
Created by Konstantin Chaykin the mechanism of the watch Decalogue Rega rotates the hands from the right to the left – “counter clockwise”, and familiar to us arabian numbers numbers on the silver dial (written, the same way, from the right to the left) correspond the letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
This is the only watch in the world that counts specific Jewish units of the time – chelekim (is 3.33 seconds) and regaim (is 44 milliseconds). Rega is the smallest unit of the time.
“Every part, every design element of the Decalogue and Decalogue Rega is meant to recall the ancient religion of the Jewish people. The silver-plated dial includes ancient Aramaic letters to depict words from the Ten Commandments (Decalogue) given by Jehovahto Moses on Mount Sinaion thefiftieth day after the Exodus from Egypt.”
The Decalogue is a genuine Jewish watch featuring manual winding, an anchor escapement, a shock-absorber andan additional moon-phase indicator.The manufacturing mechanism can be seen through the sapphire case back. This is an amazing example of elegant watchmaking art: the bridges are decorated with ‘cotes de Geneve’, gold chatons support the jewels, and the facings on barrel wheel are perfectly polished. The Jewish theme of the clock is suggested by the Star of David engraved on the barrel wheel and covered with blue enamel.
It takes a bit of effort to get used to telling time with these watches.But the efforteffort is rewarded with a special relationship with an unusual companion-just ch whose unusual appearance emphasizes the wearer’s Jewish heritage.

Decalogue Luah Shana
On the eve of Hanukkah Konstantin Chaykin releases updated Decalogue Luah Shana. The new unusual design created in a single copy. Inspired by works of art of the Jewish people the author has updated their incredible handmade engraving. The majestic columns placed on the face of the watch, which offers a beautiful view of the central part of the watch, which includes: an indicator of hours and minutes, moon phases and lunar calendar.
The Decalogue Luah Shana Watch is Hebrew in both design and in how time is indicated. The hands move from right to left, a reminder of how time was indicated on the famous tower clock on the Old Town Hall in the Josefov, the old Jewish quarter of Prague. The Decalogue Luah Shana also uses Hebrew letters instead of numerals on the dial, which are read right to left as well.
The artists who designed the Decalogue Luah Shana Watch turned to classic Hebrew artwork and design elements for inspiration. There are columns on the dial which represent the famous columns of the First Temple, the Temple of Solomon. These majestic columns are described in the Tanakh by Melachem. King Solomon commanded to build two copper columns placed on either side of the main entrance of the Temple. Both were 9 meters tall: the right (south) column was named Jachin (‘He confirms’ in ancient Hebrew) and the left one (north side) was named Boaz (“The strength is in Him”). The columns were cast by master Hiram from Tyre. Hebrew letters are used to mark the hours on the Decalogue Watch and the hours progress from right to left as is standard for the Hebrew system. Each letter has a numerical value ranging from 1 to 12 according to gematria from the Kabbalah. Therefore, the hands on the Decalogue Watch also move ‘anti-clockwise’ as it were. This function is called the reverse system of hand movement. Konstantin invented this function for the Decalogue and Decalogue Rega Watches and has patented it.
The large lunar phase indicator is a stylized replica of the stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments, the Decalogue, were carved in ancient Aramaic by God and given to Moses on Mt. Sinai on the fiftieth day after the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt. There is an indicator of lunar days underneath. The lunar phase indicator is vital for in this watch: it allows the owner to calculate Jewish holidays. This indicator makes it easy to track the beginning and end of lunar months. Aficionados can examine the proprietary K 01-0 caliber through the sapphire glass on the back of the case. The Luah Shana Watch is a fine example of elegant watchmaking art: the bridges are decorated with ‘cotes de Geneve’, gold chatons support the jewels, and the facings on barrel wheel are perfectly polished. The Hebrew nature of the watch is reiterated by the Star of David engraved on the barrel wheel and decorated with blue enamel.
It takes a bit of effort to get used to telling time with the Luah Shana Watch. But the effort is rewarded with a special relationship with an unusual companion-watch, a watch whose unusual appearance emphasizes the wearer’s Jewish heritage.
