Watch Konstantin Chaykin Wristmons kolobok

The presentation of a new watch in Konstantin Chaykin’s Wristmons (“wrist monsters”) collection took place in August 2023, where he introduced the new character-Kolobok..
Kolobok is the title character in the Russian fairy tale of the same name. The tale’s hero is the Little Round Bun (more usual name of the story in English). He was baked by Grandma and Grandpa, turned out to be alive and quite restless, running away from home. During his journey encountered a rabbit, a wolf, and a bear who tried to eat him, but the hero outwitted them all and escaped with his life. The central theme of the fairy tale (which everyone in Russia knows) is Kolobok’s song: “I got away from Grandpa, I got away from Grandma, I got away from the rabbit…” At the end of the story the hero encounters a fox. In Russian fairy tales this figure is traditionally the most cunning, and this is no exception. The fox deceives the Kolobok and eats him.
Owing to talented illustrators over the ages Kolobok remains one of the most positive characters in Russian fairy tales. He is simultaneously cheerful, wily, and even a bit audacious, in other words, an ideal candidate for the Wristmons collection alongside Minions, the Joker, and Harley Quinn.
The international presentation of this latest work took place on August 29 as part of Geneva Watch Days, giving this hero known to everyone in Russia since childhood a breath of new life and a chance to talk about him in every corner of the globe. At all levels, from watch design, movement features to promotion, the master tells the story and conveys the personalities of the characters in modern language, creating his own “new take on a fairy tale” that allows it to be understood without words.
