Le Régulateur Louis Erard x Konstantin Chaykin – Time Eater III Ref. 85237AA90.BGA087

The Le Régulateur Louis Erard × Konstantin Chaykin – Time Eater III represents the culmination of one of the most audacious collaborations in modern watchmaking. It merges the precise Swiss tradition of Louis Erard with the playful and eccentric style of Russian master Konstantin Chaykin. The iconic "WristMonster" face reappears on the dial – a distinctive eye and a jagged mouth, transformed into time indicators.

The watch maintains the classic regulator layout, featuring separate displays for hours, minutes, and seconds, yet with an imaginative interpretation that transforms time-reading into an enjoyable experience. Encased in a polished steel case with a 42 mm diameter, it houses an automatic Sellita SW266-1 movement with a regulator module and a hand-decorated rotor. Thanks to the sapphire case back, the technical craftsmanship of the movement is fully visible.

This is a limited edition with only 178 pieces produced. The watch is complemented by high-quality leather straps with contrasting stitching, underscoring its bold aesthetic.

The Time Eater III is more than just a time teller – it's a collectible piece with a distinctive character that combines technical precision with humor and originality. Thanks to its limited edition and exceptional design, it represents a true rarity on the market, intended for those who want to wear not just a watch, but a piece of modern watchmaking history on their wrist.

Louis Erard and Konstantin Chaykin have collaborated to create a unique watch with a striking design, featuring a large round eye as the hour indicator. This original element is inspired by Konstantin's interest in monsters from Halloween-themed stories, specifically the one-eyed Slavic creature known as Likho.

The watch dial also features a disc with jagged teeth for the small seconds, positioned at six o'clock, resembling an ogre's menacing maw. The minute hand, moving around the dial, adds an effective element of "two hands rotating in a circle" to the overall look of the watch, completing the appearance of this fantastic creature.

The only available piece at retail price. The model sold out within two minutes of its release, and its prices on the secondary market are tens of thousands above the retail price.

Founded in 1931, the Louis Erard brand underwent a significant revival in 2003, sparking its successful journey. This resurgence culminated in the launch of its first Régulateur models in 2011.

In addition, the brand is increasingly making its mark in the artistic sphere through innovative collaborations with leading designers and watchmakers.
