Description
The new Matroskin the cat, brings the playful spirit of the famous Wristmons collection into a distinctly feline interpretation. Inspired by the beloved animated character, the watch transforms the iconic Joker indication into an expressive cat face, where the hour and minute displays become vivid green eyes and the moonphase forms the smiling mouth.
Beyond its whimsical appearance lies an impressive level of haute horlogerie craftsmanship. The dial is composed of 15 individual components and features multilayer lacquer finishing, relief guilloché whiskers extending onto the bezel, and a ruthenium-treated graphite surface texture. Even the striped leather strap was specially designed to echo Matroskin’s recognizable fur pattern.
The stainless-steel case has also been completely reworked for this edition, with sculpted upper lugs shaped like cat ears, creating one of the most distinctive silhouettes ever produced within the Wristmons universe. Every detail, from the engraved forelock hiding the Manufacture logo to the carefully hand-finished movement, reflects the unconventional creativity of Konstantin Chaykin.
Powered by the in-house K.18-27 automatic caliber with the signature Joker-indication module, the Matroskin combines artistic watchmaking with practical everyday usability. All functions are adjusted through a single crown, while the Swiss-made La Joux-Perret G200 base movement delivers a comfortable 68-hour power reserve.
The Concept
The Concept
The Matroskin continues Konstantin Chaykin’s legendary Wristmons concept, transforming traditional watchmaking complications into animated emotional faces.
For this edition, the Manufacture reimagined the iconic Joker display as a stylized cat portrait inspired by Matroskin, one of the most recognizable animated feline characters. The hour and minute discs create constantly changing facial expressions through the “eyes,” while the moonphase indication forms the tongue inside the smiling mouth.
The watch combines playful design with genuine haute horlogerie execution. Its feline-inspired architecture includes sculpted cat-ear lugs, striped leather strap details, multilayer lacquered eyes, relief guilloché whiskers extending onto the bezel, and extensive hand-finishing throughout the movement.
Behind the apparent simplicity lies significant technical complexity, with a highly modified automatic caliber integrating the proprietary Joker-indication module developed entirely by the Konstantin Chaykin Manufacture

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 WRISTMONS
The Wristmons series by Konstantin Chaykin has become one of the most iconic creations in independent horology. These watches combine technical sophistication with playful anthropomorphic dials, where time is displayed through expressive faces — from the legendary Joker to Clown, Minions, and now Kolobok. Each model features a unique in-house module, off-centered discs for the eyes, and a moonphase display as the mouth. Far from being gimmicky, the Wristmons represent a fusion of serious mechanical expertise with joyful, character-driven design — watches that make you smile, but with craftsmanship that deserves respect.
Konstantin Chaykin is launching a new line of five Wristmons inspired by animals and birds of the East.
The first, the “Panda”, debuted as a steel pièce unique sold at a Phillips charity auction in Hong Kong in November 2024. In 2025, it returns as a regular production model in titanium, officially presented at the Geneva Watch Days.
Over the next four years, the Wolf, Monkey, Falcon, and Tiger Wristmons will complete the set, with the Tiger scheduled for 2029 as the flagship of the collection.
