"Russian watchmaker and artist Konstantin Chaykin, on the other hand, is writing his own mythos - or rather, painting it - in real time. His new artwork, A Mad Horological Party, publicly debuts at Dubai Watch Week November 19-23 before it goes to auction through Ineichen Auctioneers on December 13, and is a testament to a singular chapter in Chaykin's emerging dual career."
"Chaykin is a recognized master of haute horlogerie, evidenced by membership in the Academy of Independent Creators in Watchmaking (AHCI), a World Intellectual Property Organization Gold Medal, and inclusion in the Temporis Hall of Fame. He holds more than a hundred patents for his inventions - from the world's thinnest mechanical wristwatch to Russia's most complicated watch to the iconic Wristmons series, including the first-ever self-portrait wristwatch."

His timepiece designs often incorporate cultural and mythological characters and translate into his contemporary paintings. Chaykin studied watchmaking instead of formal painting but remains a prolific draftsman.
