Art Moscow: Konstantin Chaykin Receives the Award for Best Multidisciplinary Booth
6 May 2026
The jury noted how his booth brought together the “Lukomorye” clock, sketches and four paintings. The exhibition did not merely display the master’s works — it revealed his creative process: from engineering calculation to poetic imagery. It was precisely this connection between engineering and painting that made Chaykin’s booth the best in the jury’s opinion.
At Art Moscow, the master demonstrated not so much his engineering works as his artistic ones — painting and graphics. Nevertheless, the booth was adorned with several Wristmons and the “Lukomorye” table clock — an art object created in collaboration with the renowned jeweller Ilgiz Fazulzyanov in 2022 for a private collector. The clock’s movement comprises 1,119 parts, has an eight‑day power reserve and features a unique chain‑driven graphical digital hour indicator; the jewellery decoration weighs 16.4 kg.
The painting section of the exposition featured four works: “Thinking of the Time’s Birth”, “A Mad Horological Party”, “Goddess of Tempo” and “Dormouse”. These are not just paintings, but fantasies on the theme of watch mechanisms and visual meditations on the passage of time. Unlike a watch, where an idea undergoes engineering realisation and teamwork, the canvas captures the artist’s immediate reflection.
The master has erased the boundaries between high horology and drawing, uniting them in the image of time.
