Introducing Russia's Konstantin Chaykin And His Unique Cinema Watch
Konstantin Chaykin is quite a rare bird in the world of independent horology, in that he works outside of Switzerland. Chaykin is the only Russian member of the?Acad��mie Horlogere des Cr��ateurs Ind��pendants (ACHI), the professional body for independent watchmakers that counts the likes of Philippe Dufour and Kari Voutilainen?as members. This alone makes Chaykin and his work interesting, but the fact that he's also developed an entirely new complication made us take a closer look. Here is a first look at the Cinema watch, housing a nineteenth-century style mechanical animation.The Cinema was released earlier this year at Basel World. It is called the Cinema because of its unique complication, which simulates an early style of mechanical animation. The aperture at 6 o'clock reveals an animation of a horse running.

Glidelock scratches?
Hey guys, first post here, just got myself a brand new SD4K and am very much enjoying it. But im just wondering whether its normal for the side of this end link to get scratched by the clasp whenever i adjust the glidlock? I know its fairly normal for links that are covered by the clasp to get scratched on the side (in fact already got some despite owning the watch for a day or so), but just not sure whether its normal for the glidelock end link to do so (seems a bit of a design flaw if taking it out to adjust cause scratches) Thanks everyone!
