In February 2023 Konstantin Chaykin introduced the Smilodon, a new watch in the famous Wristmons, or "wrist monsters" collection. The idea for the watch emerged in 2022 inspired by the year's symbol in the Chinese lunar calendar, the tiger. Designing, refining and assembling the complex movement took the next year. On February 16 the master first showcased the new watch in action, during a presentation of his collection in Moscow. According to Chinese beliefs, the tiger is an unpredictable creature. Konstantin Chaykin likewise strives to escape the easily anticipated schemed, and this time he decided to look for the connections with prehistory. Paleontologists have determined, thanks to the latest advances in radiological analysis, that the last sabretooth tigers, or, according to proper classification, smilodon, had died out around 10 thousand years ago in America. In 1842 these fossilized monsters were dubbed "smilodon" by the scientist who discovered them, the Danish paleontologist Peter Wilhelm Lund. The generally accepted reading implies that it's the amalgamation of the ancient Greek words "smilo" (σμίλη; a double-edged knife) and "odonthos" (οδόντος; tooth). Konstantin Chaykin was attracted by an unexpected association with his creations: the ancient Greek "smilo" had another meaning, "smile". And "Smile" was the working title of the anthropomorphic watch project, chosen in 2016. From this project the Joker watch and the entire Wristmons collection was born. – A powerful, courageous, capricious creature, these traits were clearly manifested in the “Smilodon” project – he dictates his own rules. The Smilodon watch is equipped with an automatic К.08-2 caliber. The in-house indication module was designed by Konstantin Chaykin and assembled of 142 parts. Functions: 50 hours Power reserve: – Joker-indication of time with hour and minute discs; – Day of the week indicator; – Smilodon-indication of the day/night cycle. Watching the process of assembling of any of Wristmons is very exciting. You can see how the movement gets trademark wristmon's "eyes" and "smile". These parts form the unforgettable face-like dial. The case with a diameter of 42 mm and a thickness of 13 mm is made of ferrous bronze. The upper lugs are shaped like the ears of a Smilodon, and the lower lugs retain the beveled shape that is classic for the Wristmons collection. The caseback is machined from titanium, thanks to which the bronze case, gradually becoming patinated, will not leave marks on the wrist. The caseback has a sapphire window that provides a view of the rotor of the automatic winding system. The rotor is decorated with a relief image of a Smilodon with its terrifying saber-tooth smile.
