Description

New watch from the Wristmons collection, a special edition for China, limited to 38 pieces.

The main technical characteristics of Joker ‘Fiat Lux’ coincide with the characteristics of the original “Joker”: the movement enclosed in a 40-millimeter stainless steel case, and on the bezel, symbols of the poker combination “Five of a Kind” are reproduced in games with a joker.

But there are also obvious differences. Joker ‘Fiat Lux’ is the first “Joker” in the original configuration (with a moon phase indicator) with a skeletonized dial, which allows you to see the signature Chaykin joker indication module.

The watchmaker chose this solution, inspired by images of Chinese poetry: he wanted to play with the theme of sun or moonbeams penetrating through the cracks in a bamboo curtain on the skeletonized dial. “This is how the bright, sonically similar to a sunbeam, name Joker ‘Fiat Lux’ was born - let there be light!” - comments Konstantin Chaykin.

About Konstantin Chaykin

Konstantin Chaykin Manufacture, founded in 2003 by Konstantin Chaykin, a Russian inventor and watchmaker, is the only luxury watch brand that produces exclusively Russian-made timepieces. The Konstantin Chaykin brand is recognized by international experts as one of the most creative and original watch brands in the world.

The story of the Russian watch brand Konstantin Chaykin began on October 23, 2003, when a young and ambitious inventor from St. Petersburg discovered his passion for the world of mechanical complications and wanted to develop a tourbillon clock, the first timepiece with a tourbillon to be produced in Russia for 175 years. By July 2024, Konstantin Chaykin had registered 96 patents and a further 62 utility models, more than any other watchmaker in the watch industry.

About the Joker

The Joker watch, which spawned the Wristmons collection, was created by Konstantin Chaykin in 2017. The original limited edition of 99 pieces immediately sold out during the Baselworld exhibition, where the watch was first presented to the public and caused a sensation. The self-winding movement K.07-0, developed for the Joker wristwatch on the base of the Swiss-made Eta 2824-2 movement, modified by Chaykin, was fitted with an in-house complicated indication module.
