An original sketch of Konstantin Chaykin's Mouse King watch. 2023.
A sketch of Konstantin Chaykin's Mouse King Wristmon, released in 2020 in celebration of the year of the Rat in Chinese calendar. The master was inspired by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffman fairy tale "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King". The sketch is done in pencil and watercolors. The watchmaker was able to use these tools to depict the guilloche technique which was used on the Wrismon's dial. The dial was finished with three different types of guilloche, and the master found watercolor shades which produced a very similar effect. The texture of the matte surface of the titanium case is also exquisitely convincing.
