Joker Black Bet
Konstantin Chaykin suggests playing roulette with fate. Russian roulette? Of course not – we feel that is a theme exploited far too often. So, what will it be? The Master of Jokers, acting in a way only he knows, creates a fusion of essences and traditions. In the new Joker Black Bet watch, he complements the adventurous character of his Joker, a lucky symbol in card games, with the gambling spirit of roulette. And that is why this new Joker has a spark in his eyes! That is not a metaphor or an exaggeration. Chaykin has chosen to cover the eyes of the Joker – the discs of his self-invented Joker-time indication system displaying the hours and minutes – with a luminescent coating. This gives a unique expression to the face-like dial of the watch not only when there is a low level of light, when the cold green glow of the Joker’s big, round eyes is sure to be the centre of attention while also helping to determine the correct time, but also in normal light, when the additional, subconsciously perceived luminophore illumination creates a particular and very expressive shade, harmonious with the black and emerald-green finish of the dial.
Now, the new Joker, as a stylish embodiment of the spirit of gambling and the casino, which undoubtedly suits the imposing black tones emphasised by accents of green and purple, will play by new rules. Konstantin Chaykin says let it be contrary to the established rules of gambling – a risk-free chance to bet on black, while at the same time betting on the new black-toned Joker. If you are not a risk-taker, best hold back and leave the chance to get a new emotional experience to other connoisseurs of the watchmaking art of Konstantin Chaykin.
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 pearl textured grinding; fine longitudinal and circular grinding; abrasive blasting to a matte finish; a smooth handcrafted chamfer; engraving; polished screw holes, pins and jewels; spherical polishing of the axel tips; and galvanized 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.
