Louis Erard x Konstantin Chaykin Le Régulateur Dusk to Dawn 39 mm | LE178
A limited edition of 178 pieces.
Louis Erard takes us on an even more twisted adventure with the newest collaboration with Konstantin Chaykin. Once again, the infamous Likho charcter of Slavic fairy tales has come to life, this time with a menacingly dark face with a single bloodshot eye that tracks the hours as its saw-toothed mouth devours time away. Presenting the Time Eater II: From Dusk to Dawn.
Like it's purple and green predecessors (nominated for a 2023 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève award, The Time-Eater II: From Dusk till dawn is available with two finishings and in two sizes. Shown here in 39 mm with a black lower plate featuring a sunray wave pattern, this horrorific monster comes framed in a sand-blasted stainless steel case with a black PVD treatment. The hour and minute hands have once again been manipulated into the creature's arms, this time red. Finishing off this freaky masterpiece is a toad leather black strap lined with vibrant red rabbit leather.
