Marrying Horology and Gaming: Konstantin Chaykin's Artistic Tribute to Atomic Heart's Iconic Twins

Renowned watchmaker Konstantin Chaykin forays into the world of video games with his Wristmon series inspired by the impactful characters from the popular game, Atomic Heart. The characters, known as the ‘Twins’, add unique aesthetics to the timepieces, transforming the dial into a small stage for artistic display. Set in a dystopian 1955 alternate-history Soviet Union, Atomic Heart presents the Twins as large ballerina robots performing balletic movements mimicking the choreography of Bolshoi Theatre dancers.

The distinctive visuals in these timekeepers do not compromise their mechanical excellence. The twins are powered by a self-winding K.18-25, based on the La Joux-Perret G200, and further modified for Konstantin Chaykin. Delivering 68 hours of power reserve, they showcase the watchmaker’s commitment to preparing his timepieces for the long game. Limited to 69 pieces each, these exclusive timepieces combine the thrill of gaming with the intricate artistry of horology, fostering a new genre of mechanical tribute.
