Ultra-Thin Watch Prototypes

Konstantin Chaykin Designs the ThinKing Timepiece with a Sleek Shape

— September 4, 2024 — Fashion
Russian watchmaker Konstantin Chaykin has unveiled a look at the ThinKing, which is a unique prototype ensuring that it only measures 1.65mm, making it the thinnest watch on the market. One after the other, luxurious brands have been crafting slim structures.

The ThinKing is inspired by an old pocket watch with a focus on contemporary design themes above all else. It is inspired by the designer's signature Wrstmons mechanical wristwatch and is currently in the pre-production process. It has a stainless steel casing, with more details to follow in the next weeks. Other news include the two eyes that are adorning the top half of the dial -- these show the hours and minutes whereas the bottom half is detailed with the brand logo.
