Lot Essay

While watchmaking tends to feature a thoughtful and straight face, Konstantin Chaykin proposes an unconventional approach of recreating watches as kinetic pop art pieces: the 'Wristmons Collection'. The present Minions watch is emotionally faced and you never know what face it is going to be in the next minute.

A two-disk current time module displays with the Minions' eyes as hours and minutes, and a moon phase indicator as the Minions' smile were designed exclusively for the Minions watch. A reliable, time proven automatic ETA caliber is embedded with a friction reducing eight-stone module, while the case has a second crown for adjusting the moon phase.

Of high appeal and extremely unusual, the present timepiece is part of a limited edition of 99 pieces made in titanium, launched in March 2023 and instantly sold-out. Offered in 'like-new' overall condition, it is furthermore accompanied with its full set of accessories, including a one of 123 unique sketch of a watch by Konstantin Chaykin, and fitted on a micro-denim fabric strap with yellow stitching, reminiscent of the Minions blue jumpsuits.

Konstantin Chaykin
Konstantin Chaykin is a Russian inventor, master of high watchmaking and the owner of the ‘Konstantin Chaykin’ Manufacture. Each timepiece could be considered as a work of art, combining sophisticated mechanics and incredible artistic execution. The ‘Konstantin Chaykin’ Manufacture is the only Russian company producing unique, high class mechanical watches with proprietary calibres and is the absolute leader in the luxury watch segment of the modern clock and watchmaking industry in Russia. Konstantin Chaykin is acknowledged by the international fine watchmaking community and a member of the prestigious Académie Horlogère Des Créateurs Indépendants. Konstantin runs his own manufacture and has registered over 80 patents for his innovative movements and inventions in general mechanics: a unique achievement for many century old manufacturers, not to speak of a young watchmaker.
