Konstantin Chaykin, a renowned independent watchmaker from Moscow, has once again shocked the world of horology with his latest masterpiece – an ultra-thin mechanical watch measuring just 1.65 mm in thickness. With this achievement, Chaykin set a new record, surpassing the established giants of the industry and proving that innovation is not limited to big names.
Hour ThinKing it is not only a technological miracle, but also an aesthetic pleasure. The watch case, made of special stainless steel, measures 40 mm in diameter and weighs only 13.3 grams without the strap. Despite its ultra-slim design, the watch provides incredible strength, which is achieved with the help of two ultra-thin sapphire crystals measuring just 0.35 mm in thickness.
The heart of the watch ThinKing is an ultra-thin caliber K.23-0 movement that Konstantin Chaykin completely designed and built by myself. Consisting of 204 parts and 51 jewels, this movement features a double pendulum with a patented clutch, a Swiss lever escapement and an oscillation frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour. The power of the watch is provided by a thin spring barrel that allows up to 32 hours of operation, which is almost unimaginable for watches of this thickness.
Innovative strap and outer casing
Chaykin's attention to detail is also evident in the strap, which is made of black alligator leather. The strap is not only aesthetically perfect, but also technologically advanced - it contains elastic inserts and flexible titanium brackets that ensure comfort and durability. The watch is also equipped with an innovative outer casing called PalanKing, which serves as a protective cover and at the same time enables automatic winding and time setting.
Chaykin's commitment to innovation
Konstantin Chaykin is s ThinKing proved once again why he is considered one of the most creative and visionary watchmakers of our time. His ability to combine advanced technology with traditional craftsmanship has allowed him to create a timepiece that pushes the boundaries of what is possible in horology.
Although it is ThinKing currently in the prototype stage and not yet ready for commercial production, it represents an important milestone in the development of ultra-thin watches. Chaykin's achievement is proof that with a small budget and independent production it is possible to achieve the results that larger producers achieve with the help of huge resources and specialized suppliers.
Conclusion:
ThinKing it is not only the thinnest watch in the world, but it symbolizes Chaykin's constant pursuit of innovation and excellence in watchmaking. By combining advanced technology and traditional craftsmanship, he has created a timepiece that challenges the limits of what is possible and provides a glimpse into the future of ultra-thin watches. Although the question remains when it will be ThinKing ready for the general public, is undoubtedly already a historic achievement in the world of horology.
