Founded in 2003 by Russian inventor and watchmaker Konstantin Chaykin in St. Petersburg (now based in Moscow), the eponymous manufacture is the only luxury watch brand producing exclusively Russian-made haute horlogerie. Chaykin, the only Russian member and former president of the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI), has built a reputation for blending extreme technical complexity with a playful, artistic touch. The brand is celebrated for its proprietary modules, in-house movements, and record-breaking innovations, holding over 100 patents for creations like the world's thinnest mechanical watch (ThinKing) and the first Martian tourbillon.
