Two sizes. One exceptionally rare set limited to just 28 pieces.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Louis Erard x Konstantin Chaykin Le Diptyque combines two versions of the \u003cstrong\u003eTime Eater\u003c\/strong\u003e model into a single collector's set. It includes watches with diameters of \u003cstrong\u003e42 mm and 39 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, with each version originally created as a separate limited edition of 178 pieces. The complete Diptyque set itself, however, is significantly rarer – only \u003cstrong\u003e28 sets\u003c\/strong\u003e exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the unmistakable face of the watch stands \u003cstrong\u003eKonstantin Chaykin\u003c\/strong\u003e, an independent watchmaker renowned, among other things, for his Wristmons series. In collaboration with Louis Erard, he has brought his signature humor and light provocation to a traditional regulator layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe cyclops that devours time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt first glance, you might not even perceive the individual watchmaking functions. What you see first is the \u003cstrong\u003egrotesque face of a one-eyed monster\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is where Chaykin’s genius lies. The individual elements of the dial have their practical functions, but together they create a face. The striking \"eye\" and an open mouth full of teeth give the watch a slightly unsettling, but above all playful character typical of Chaykin’s Wristmons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth sizes are not merely copies of the same design in a different case. Side by side, they work as a pair – and that is exactly why the \u003cstrong\u003eLe Diptyque\u003c\/strong\u003e concept makes so much sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo sizes in one set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe set includes the \u003cstrong\u003e42 mm Time Eater and the 39 mm Time Eater\u003c\/strong\u003e. The different proportions give each watch a slightly different character while showcasing two interpretations of the same idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInside ticks the automatic \u003cstrong\u003eSellita SW266-1\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is adapted to Louis Erard's characteristic regulator display. It offers a power reserve of approximately \u003cstrong\u003e38 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e, and its operation can be observed through the transparent case back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial is protected by sapphire crystal, the water resistance is \u003cstrong\u003e50 meters\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a distinctive highlight is the \u003cstrong\u003eblack toad leather\u003c\/strong\u003e straps with contrast stitching that color-coordinates with the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLouis Erard meets Konstantin Chaykin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the combination of these two names that makes the Time Eater so interesting. In recent years, \u003cstrong\u003eLouis Erard\u003c\/strong\u003e has used its signature regulator watches as a canvas for collaborations with prominent independent watchmakers and designers. Instead of simply placing a guest name on the dial, it gives them the opportunity to truly reshape the brand's traditional concept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd \u003cstrong\u003eKonstantin Chaykin\u003c\/strong\u003e is the ideal partner for such a project. His Wristmons have shown that mechanical watches can be technically serious while simultaneously witty, provocative, and instantly recognizable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Time Eater is exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Le Diptyque?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA standalone Time Eater is an interesting collector's piece thanks to the Louis Erard × Konstantin Chaykin collaboration. \u003cstrong\u003eHowever, Le Diptyque combines both of its forms into a single set, of which only 28 were created.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not just about two watches in one package. It is a comprehensive memento of one of the most distinctive Louis Erard collaborations and, at the same time, a showcase of what happens when a traditional regulator falls into the hands of one of the most original independent watchmakers of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA bit of haute horlogerie, a touch of dark humor, and a lot of Konstantin Chaykin. And only 28 opportunities to own both Time Eaters together.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe offered watch is in unworn condition. It is thus a fantastic collector's opportunity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch was purchased directly from the manufacturer in April 2023 and is therefore still under warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sale includes the complete packaging.
