Panel of miniatures

  • Birth of an idea
This panel brings together sketches by Konstantin Chaykin – early studies for future paintings and watches. These clear, almost architectural images are still waiting for their moment to become part of large-scale canvases or to form the basis of a future mechanical masterpiece.

As a watchmaker, Chaykin approaches each sketch with maximum precision: every composition is defined by a carefully balanced structure and a high degree of detail. The character and movement of each figure are clearly expressed, with calibrated proportions and a precise logic in how the elements interconnect. It is in such graphic miniatures that the visual language at the core of the new artistic genre Horological Art begins to take shape.
