Konstantin Chaykin Joker 'Fiat Lux' – Let There Be Light

Konstantin Chaykin Joker 'Fiat Lux' – Let There Be Light

A Radiant New Chapter in the Wristmons Collection

Introducing the Joker 'Fiat Lux', a luminous evolution of Konstantin Chaykin’s most iconic design. Part of the beloved Wristmons collection, this new edition is a limited series of only 38 pieces, created as a special release for the Chinese market. Translating to “Let There Be Light,” Fiat Lux reflects both the poetic and mechanical brilliance that define Chaykin’s work.

Like all Wristmons, Joker Fiat Lux transforms time into expression. The dial’s animated eyes display the hours and minutes, while the signature smiling moonphase creates a joyful, ever-changing face.


Skeletonized Dial, Illuminated Soul

For the first time in a Joker with moonphase complication, Chaykin introduces a skeletonized dial—a transparent window into the inner workings of his signature Joker module.

Inspired by Chinese poetry, the skeletonization is meant to evoke the sun or moonbeams shining through a bamboo curtain, a romantic image translated into mechanical form. According to Chaykin, this poetic vision inspired the name “Fiat Lux.”

The symbols of the poker hand “Five of a Kind”, including jokers, are engraved around the bezel, a nod to the Joker’s playful spirit and the card games it symbolizes.
