Watch Konstantin Chaykin Wristmons Calavera

THE CALAVERA WATCH-A DEDICATION TO MEXICO
Calavera is the first watch by Konstantin Chaykin dedicated to Mexico and its amazing cultural heritage. The joker-indication module he invented was a perfect fit for the new “sugar skull” Wristmon. The anthropomorphic dial was given a highly recognizable look, not scary at all, but rather cute and funny. How else would a Chaykin Wristmon look
Konstantin Chaykin begins working on a new model when struck by an interesting idea, a philosophical, artistic or historical one. The entire history of the Konstantin Chaykin Manufacture testifies to that.
The idea that drove the creation of the Calavera watch was an existential one. We live in a fragile world but realizing that should not stop an artist from creating, and enjoying the process of creation, no matter how fleeting the result. And the point of origin of this idea for Konstantin were the calaveras, sugar skulls traditionally made in Mexico for the Day of the Dead, El Da de Muertos. They are an important part of the country’s cultural heritage, a collection of remarkably emotional artistic images based on a long tradition: it’s believed that making calaveras goes back to the XVII century, roughly three hundred years ago.
