Lot Essay

Russian independent watchmaker Konstantin Chaykin introduced the 'Wristmons Collection' in 2017 with the launch of the iconic Joker watch. While watchmaking tends to feature a thoughtful and straight face, Chaykin proposed an unconventional approach of recreating watches as kinetic pop art pieces: the 'Wristmons Collection'. The iconic DC villain's face was represented on the dial, with his eyes indicating the time and his trademark grin the moonphase. Inventive and completely playful, the Joker was a huge hit for the brand.

To mark the 5th anniversary of the Joker's launch, Chaykin introduced a limited edition that referenced the Joker's love interest, Harley Quinn. The present timepiece's dial invokes the face of the DC character with the almond-shaped eyes, heart tattoo, eye-lashes and mask. The dial also features two types of guilloche patterns. Whimsical and exclusive, this is another great addition to the brand's Wristmons collection.
