Konstantin Chaykin x Ineichen

An original sketch of still-unrealized model from Konstantin Chaykin's Wristmons collection, the Quetzalcoatl.

Konstantin Chaykin is always coming up with new projects for his Wristmons collection. The watchmaker is fascinated by Mexico, its colorful folklore, and the rich culture and history of the indigenous Aztec people who populated Central America in the Middle Ages. In 2022 Chaykin released the Calavera Wristmon, inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead. This sketch is a result of the constant search for new images and ways of artistic expression. It depicts a Wristmon portraying Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec fertility god. He appeared as a winged serpent with colorful feathers. Using fine watercolor brushstrokes, Chaykin managed to create a striking image which may one day become a new watch.
