Laurent's opinion
Time Eater III is not a watch you wear discreetly. It is a monster you embrace, a look you own, a watch that smiles at the wrong moment. At Chronopassion, we couldn't help but succumb to such well-thought-out madness.

Description

The monster returns... in blue.

It’s back. More mischievous, more biting, and more irresistible than ever. Time Eater III, the Regulator monster born from the collaboration between Louis Erard and the unmissable Konstantin Chaykin, returns to haunt the most daring wrists. And this time, the creature expresses itself in blue, in a limited edition of 178 pieces.

A single, ever-alert eye stares at you from 12 o’clock. It never blinks. This is the hour disc. Below, at 6 o’clock, a toothed mouth animates the seconds with a carnivorous smile. Between the two, a mischievous central hand stretches out: on one side a pointing finger, on the other a rock ‘n’ roll salute. As you can see, no rules are followed here, and that’s just fine.

But what sets this version apart is the electric blue minute track, exclusive to the edition sold by Louis Erard. At 6 o’clock is the name of the company; at 12 o’clock is the seal of master watchmaker Chaykin. The strap is just as unusual: made of toad leather, it is as unexpected as the watch itself.

This 42 mm model, more imposing and assertive, is the mirror image of the Louis Erard version of the monster. Half Slavic myth, half joker, totally watchmaker, the WristMonster is back.
