Catalogue Essay
Konstantin Chaykin is a master inventor, maker of high-end wristwatches and member of the prestigious AHCI (the association of independent watchmakers and creators). His timepieces are works of art combining technical movements with artistic expression. He has been acknowledged by the international watch community, and recognised for his proprietary calibers, and role in the luxury market with unique and masterful timepieces. Chaykin has over 80 patents for his movements and inventions. Konstantin Chaykins’ innovations are known by the community for mechanical marvels with whimsical designs like the “Joker”, a two-disc time module with the “Jokers” eyes as hour and minute indicators. Beherns is a creative brand founded in 2012 in Shenzhen, China, initiated by a group of young people with similar watchmaking ideas, seeking to present a different way of expressing time through unique mechanical structures.
It was only a matter of time that Behrens and Chaykin would meet and create a series of limited edition watches inspired by Chaykin's Wristmons and Chinese stone mills. Presented in 2022 and rapidly sold out, the watches in the present set take Chaykin’s disruptive design with the “eyes” rotating to indicate the hours and minutes, the lower part of the dial where the Joker’s “smile” is featured Behrens have created a whimsical and original retractable seconds indicator.
Three versions were available each as a limited edition of 200 pieces. The black DLC and titanium models were reserved for the Asian market and an example in ice crystallized titanium with a very interesting sheen and structure was available worldwide. The present set is composed of 3 prototypes each numbered 02 and come is a special box set. This is the first and only set of 3 prototypes available and a unique opportunity to obtain these original, playful and aesthetically intriguing watches.
