CLOWN

Looking at the world in cheerful amazement

Russian inventor and watchmaker Konstantin Chaykin believes that modern collectable mechanical watches should have something else besides chronometric accuracy and high-quality performance. He is convinced that a watch should evoke bright emotions in its owner and be clearly distinguished as an objet d’art, that is, spectacular, noticeable, memorable and provocative. That is why Konstantin Chaykin, creator of the extraordinary “Joker” watch and long-time admirer of the works of the internationally-recognised king of horror, Stephen King, timed the release of the “Clown” watch to coincide with that of the film adaptation of King’s novel “It”.

Spirited, smiling, big-eyed and looking at the world in cheerful amazement, this watch clearly reflects the fact its owner is a connoisseur of an unusual, spectacular style, who is ready to challenge generally accepted tastes while being an authority on haute horlogerie with their own well-developed preferences. Experts share this point of view – in 2018 Konstantin Chaykin and his “Clown” watch were awarded one of the most prestigious awards in the industry, the “Golden Arrow” prize in the “Audacity” category of the Geneva Grand Prix of Fine Watchmaking (Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève).
