First Look Louis Erard and Konstantin Chaykin Present the First Tourbillon Edition in Their Collaboration

A few days ago, Louis Erard and Konstantin Chaykin unveiled their third collaboration: the Time-Eater III, featuring the famous one-eyed monster design, an edition the two brands described as “the final bite,” which some interpreted as a hint that it would be the last in this distinctive partnership. 

However, the collaboration didn’t end there. Today, the two maisons reveal a remarkable new addition: the first tourbillon regulator watch born from their joint efforts, a significant leap that takes the partnership to new heights, all while preserving the creative spirit that sparked it.

Unlike previous editions, which were offered in two different sizes, the new tourbillon models are presented in polished stainless steel cases with a unified diameter of 42 mm and a lug-to-lug length of 49.60 mm. The three-part case measures 12.25 mm in thickness and features a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides. 

The movement is visible through the transparent caseback, while water resistance is rated at 50 meters. Completing the design is the signature crown by Konstantin Chaykin, paying tribute to the independent Russian watchmaker, while the case itself maintains the classic aesthetic of Louis Erard.

The dial comes in either blue or green, featuring an inner minute track highlighted with white dots. The brand logos are applied in white lacquer, with Louis Erard at 6 o’clock and Konstantin Chaykin at 12 o’clock. 

The base of the dial consists of a silver or grey plate adorned with a sunray wave motif, topped by a glossy white hour disc positioned at 12 o’clock and framed by a circular satin-brushed anthracite ring. 

Surrounding the tourbillon cage, which also functions as a seconds indicator, is a striking red ring fitted with white teeth. Time is displayed via a red tongue-shaped seconds hand and a matte black minute hand.

Both editions are powered by the manually wound BCP T02 caliber, a tourbillon regulator movement developed by the Swiss firm BCP Tourbillons under the direction of Olivier Mory and based in La Chaux-de-Fonds. It is the same movement used in the Le Régulateur Tourbillon Louis Erard × Alain Silberstein. 

Operating at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, the tourbillon completes one full rotation every 60 seconds and delivers an impressive power reserve of approximately 100 hours. The bridges are finished with circular graining, while the wheels are beveled and decorated with a satin-brushed finish.

Each watch is fitted with a black grained calfskin strap featuring tone-on-tone stitching, a black calfskin lining, and a polished stainless steel pin buckle. Quick-release spring bars are also included for easy strap changes.

The blue dial version is limited to 28 pieces and is available exclusively through Konstantin Chaykin’s official website. The green dial version is limited to 78 pieces and is offered exclusively through Louis Erard’s official online store and authorized retailers. Both models are priced at CHF 19,900, which is approximately AED 88,370.
