Sketch Genius Temporis Blue Arrow
Drawing on watercolor paper
2022
An original sketch of Konstantin Chaykin's Genius Temporis Blue Arrow watch. One of a kind.
The sketch depicts the steel-cased Genius Temporis Blue Arrow watch, the first version of Konstantin Chaykin's famous "one-hand" model. The watch features a unique complication, switchable hour and minute indication with the same hand. This invention was patented by Chaykin. The Genius Temporis Blue Arrow model was first introduced at the BaselWorld-2014 exhibition.
Unlike the serial-produced Genius Temporis, this model is distinguished by a restrained, laconic 1930s-style design. The dial is marked with Arabic numerals in deep, rich blue color, and a single clock hand in blued steel, shaped like a crossbow bolt. The sketch perfectly represents the finish of individual parts and the balanced yet striking blue-and-grey design of the model.
