The Hour Will Come
On the canvas is an autonomous watch module: a brass mainplate, steel screws, and a pyramidal base locked into a rigid construction.

Dormouse
This etude for the "Mad Tea-Party" series reimagines the Dormouse from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," transforming famous character into a metaphor for both slumber and mechanics.

Dodeca
“Dodeca” is a philosophical archetype of time in which mechanical form is bound to sacred symbolism.

From Dawn to Dusk
A self‑portrait dedicated to the watchmaker’s daily, almost monastic work. The master’s figure, bent over a tiny mechanism, is set between a warm ochre background and a cool turquoise floor, the line that divides the realm of thought from matter.

Hairspringer
Chaykin again maintains that the lines of a mechanism can suddenly become the contours of a face, and that a spring can become a living curve capable of conveying emotion. The ruby end‑stone dot at the center of the spiral becomes an eye and, at the same time, the heart of the watch, a reminder of the fragile point of balance between precision and feeling. By giving the most delicate assembly of a chronometer a human expression, the artist turns an engineering idea into a poetic symbol of time, endowing mechanics with character. The beige background, painted with light strokes, seems to muffle the ticking of an unseen movement. It invites the viewer to listen to what the unwinding spiral whispers: of life’s cycles and the quiet breath of time.

A fan‑shaped regulator plate and a set of screws turn into a stern, almost totemic face, while preserving the metallic texture of bronze against a warm ochre ground.

Happy Wheel
Among watchmakers it is good practice to balance wheels and other rotating parts. Mechanics “dislike” unbalanced devices.

Dance
Is a choreography of the horological heart. Against a warm, gilded backdrop, the balance wheel and escape wheel stand poised, like two partners upon a stage.

Possibility 2
Is a concise mechanical composition about the hidden force of genesis. Two golden planes converge at a sharp angle, forming a sacred triangle.
Canvas / Acrylic

Bouquet of Time
Turns horological details into an elegant floral motif: three sky‐blue bridges rise like stems, lifting ruby gem‐flowers, while a star‐shaped seconds wheel unfurls at the side like an aster bud.

The Attachment
In this painting, Konstantin Chaykin finds an image of watch module mechanics that seems to him an unusual illustration of attachment as an emotional concept.

Christmas Tree 6

The Sandmann
In this painting, Konstantin Chaykin tried to convey the feeling of the golden-sand style of finishing the details of the dial and mechanism of the Sandmann watch, which prompted him to choose this name for the watch.
