Konstantin Chaykin debuts Stargazer, a Wristmon with 17 complications

Konstantin Chaykin’s Stargazer is the most complicated wristwatch ever to be made in Russia. The new Wristmon features 17 complications, and the watch itself features a double-sided case with two partially skeletonised dials and pre-shaped reversible strap. The parts on the main dial are plated with the darker ruthenium (Dark side), and on the tourbillon side with lighter rhodium (Light side). On the dark side, with the signature joker-indication module, the eyebrows indicate the length of the day and night, the nose is the equation of time indicator, and the third eye serves as a miniature star map, probably the smallest star chart in the history of watchmaking. This dial also features a 24-hour display of mean solar and sidereal time. The smile acts as a retrograde indicator of the day of the week, and there is a zodiac ring along the edge of the dial. On the light side, the eyes act as a continuous moonphase indicator and a solar activity indicator. The moonphase is displayed in a ring so that the disc of the display with the two gold-plated moons is almost completely visible. On this side there is also a tourbillon that resembles a mouth wide open in astonishment, and its titanium carriage is in constant motion.
