Konstantin Chaykin’s Watch Sold for $435,000 at a Charity Auction

The fourth Encore Charity dinner, held in March, raised over $4.4 million. The highlight of the auction was a Konstantin Chaykin Manufacture's Joker Encore Charity Piece Unique watch, featuring a finely hand-hammered dial crafted by Chaykin himself. After intense bidding, the watch sold for a record $435,000, becoming the most expensive Russian watch ever.

Encore Charity is dedicated to providing targeted support to seriously ill children, young adults, and vulnerable social groups. The funds raised are used for treatment programs, prosthetics, and the support of scientific medical research. Each year, the Foundation gathers patrons of the arts, business people, and cultural and artistic figures for a charity evening aimed at raising funds for its charitable programs.

The Russian watchmaker and inventor views watchmaking as an art form, constantly seeking to push the boundaries and explore new horizons. The Joker Encore Charity watch features an innovative dial finish, a first in Konstantin Chaykin's collection, employing a finely hand-hammered surface. The pattern is unique; the master personally crafted tools with tips shaped like a pentagonal pyramid and hammered the dial by hand!

The watch is a piece unique and we cannot repeat the design.
