Konstantin Chaykin Ultra-Thin Mechanical Wristwatch Features Joker-Indication Design

Konstantin Chaykin releases ThinKing ultra-thin mechanical wristwatch, it’s a journey that started 20 years ago where he came across an old ultra-thin Bagnolet pocket watch with cylinder escapement. It’s been known that in the history of watchmaking, there were several periods in which watch manufacturers seriously tried to radically reduce the thickness of the watch, a race for the thinnest watches. However, this race actually still continues to this day.

Keeping this in mind, Chaykin believes if an outstanding watchmaking craft was created like two centuries ago, of course, it is possible for modern watchmaker to use the same skills to create ultra-thin watch with modern technology.

As an independent watchmaker, Konstantin Chaykin decided that ThinKing ultra-thin watch should be a wristmon. He assumed that many Swiss watchmakers would still continue to develop new ultra-thin watches, therefore, he can always have the advantage of having a unique design known to the community of watch connoisseurs around the world. ThinKing Ultra-thin Watch comes with a double dial protected by two 0.35mm thick sapphire crystals.

The movement of ThinKing watch is modeled along the lines of joker-indication design, hour (left) and minute (right) displays, these two marks represent the eyes of the character. The original joker watch puts smile to the character by using moonphase turned upside down, yet ThinKing chose to use the brand logo engraved along the arc on the top as the smile.
