The Russian independent watchmaker Konstantin Chaykin, who is the only Russian member of the ‘International Academy of Independent Watchmakers’, wears his 40mm Quartime watch featuring an 18k rose case and a silver dial, with hand guilloché decoration and gold bordered apertures.
Price retail: $35,000.00 USD
The idea behind the watch is that Chaykin decided to divide the day into 4 segments, instead of the standard 2 – AM/PM, reflecting how we actually divide the day in our minds: morning, day, evening and night, why the hours are displayed in 6 tiny apertures on the face and the time of the day in a small window on the bottom.
