This is a rare case where one number is enough for the title. 1.65 mm – that’s the thickness of the new ThinKing ultra-thin mechanical wristwatch, designed and developed by Konstantin Chaykin. The story of this development began a long time ago: one fine day, about twenty years ago, Konstantin Chaykin came across an old Bagnolet ultra-thin caliber pocket watch with a cylinder escapement, signed Aug.

Konstantin Chaykin decided that his ultra-thin watch would be a wrist. He assumed that Swiss watchmakers would probably continue to come up with new ultra-thin watches and, in this situation, he always has the advantage of an exclusive design known to the entire community of watch connoisseurs around the world. He was also attracted by the idea of giving a purely technical project like an ultra-thin watch a direct emotional coloring – and this is precisely the undeniable advantage of the Wristmons collection he has created.

The ThinKing watch movement is modeled along the lines of a Joker indication design, i.e. with separate hour (left) and minute (right) displays, which form the character’s eyes. While on the original Joker watch and many other wristmons the character’s smile is the moon phase turned upside down compared to the standard configuration, on the new ultra-thin ThinKing watch the role of the smile is taken on by the brand logo engraved along the arc on the watch’s top cover due to the absence of such a display.

The ThinKing, the new ultra-thin model in the Wristmons collection, has been given a double dial protected by two 0.35 mm thick sapphire crystals, instead of the usual full dial, which worsens the situation with the rigidity of the ultra-thin watch.
