Guilloche pattern

A light character
The choice of titanium for the “Joker Titanium Limited Edition” was not by chance. The use of this metal in aeronautical, marine and space engineering has always given clear advantages. In watchmaking, titanium is used as a lighter alternative to stainless steel. Slightly darker than steel, it is seen as being more technical, indeed brutal, rather than decorative. For the production of the titanium elements of the case for the “Joker Titanium Limited Edition”, Konstantin Chaykin developed special technology allowing the high standards of finishing seen in the steel versions of the “Joker” to be maintained in its titanium variant.
Konstantin Chaykin chose to retain the design elements on the bezel, which features the symbols of the “Five of a Kind” poker hand, the highest possible hand and one which is a symbol of incredible luck.

The dial of the “Joker Titanium Limited Edition” is decorated with a guilloche relief with step, as used to tremendous effect by the great Russian jeweller Karl Fabergé. Chaykin modified the “Clous de Paris” guilloche, using it to decorate the Joker’s nose. This technique is used only in the “Joker Titanium Limited Edition”.
