A remarkable fusion of horological artistry and whimsical design, the Behrens x Konstantin Chaykin Joker ref. BHR028T is a collaboration between Behrens, a watchmaker known for their innovative designs, and Konstantin Chaykin, a Russian watchmaker famed for his inventive and playful complications that result in exceptionally unique timepieces. Combining these two brands strengths into one timepiece, this results in a watch that is a vibrant expression of creativity that boasts an avant-garde design which underscores the unique aesthetics that can be found in independent watchmaking. Boasting the distinctive “Joker’ dial design that Konstantin Chaykin created using the same crystallized titanium making up the construction, the ref. BHR028T displays the time through a set of cleverly designed dials that mimic the eyes and mouth of a joker, changing expressions as time passes. Additionally, the seconds are represented in the Joker’s tongue, as the spade-tipped seconds hand rotates around the tongue in a parabolic arc, as inspired by a Chinese stone mill. As one might expect, the ref. BHR028T’s craftsmanship is impeccable, with a 42mm crystallized titanium construction ensuring reliability, durability and a rather unique aesthetic brought about by the flash-freezing process used to create the crystallized titanium. The design is both a nod to the playful aspects of time and a serious statement of horological expertise, making the Behrens x Konstantin Chaykin Joker ref. BHR028T a watch that combine mechanical sophistication with an unconventional aesthetic, resulting in a 200 piece limited edition collection that has enjoyed some impressive popularity.
