Introducing a New Era in Watchmaking
The Louis Erard x Konstantin Chaykin Time Eater Tourbillon is the latest masterpiece in the groundbreaking partnership between the renowned Swiss brand and the master watchmaker Konstantin Chaykin. This new model builds on the success of the previous 'Time Eater' regulator variants, incorporating a captivating tourbillon with a regulator display—a hallmark of Erard's collection—while maintaining the unique design elements that make Chaykin's creations so iconic.
Striking Design and Distinct Features
Encased in a sleek 42mm polished stainless steel case, which is water-resistant up to 50 meters, the watch features a domed sapphire crystal topped with Chaykin's signature crown. The dial is a visual delight, showcasing a silver-toned base with a mesmerizing sunburst wave pattern, alongside an anthracite hour flange and a vibrant red flange surrounding the tourbillon. This design choice pays homage to the 'Time Eater' concept with markers that resemble shark-like teeth.
A Playful Yet Elegant Aesthetic
At the heart of this timepiece is the whimsical Wristmon 'face', featuring a central eye that indicates the hour at 12 o'clock, and a broad, toothy grin at 6 o'clock housing the 60-second tourbillon, where a dazzling red tongue spins to track passing seconds. The cheeky central minute hand is perfectly framed by a vibrant green minute track, encapsulating the playful yet sophisticated chaos inherent to the Wristmon family.
Incredible Movement and Power Reserve
Beneath its captivating exterior lies the manual-winding tourbillon calibre BCP T02, crafted by movement specialist Olivier Mory. With dimensions of 31.8mm in diameter and 6.5mm thick, this mechanical marvel operates at an impressive 21,600 vibrations per hour and boasts a remarkable 100-hour power reserve. Enthusiasts can admire this precision movement through the sapphire caseback, which is elegantly engraved with the watch’s limited edition number and adorned with circular Côtes de Genève decoration.
Limited Editions: A Collector's Dream
The Time Eater Tourbillon is available in two exclusive limited editions, each boasting its own color theme. The Louis Erard edition features a striking green minute ring and is limited to just 78 pieces. Meanwhile, the Chaykin edition, with its sophisticated blue minute ring, is even rarer, limited to only 28 pieces, and can be purchased exclusively through Chaykin. This dual offering not only showcases the creativity of both brands but also appeals to collectors and watch enthusiasts alike.
