On the dial, the wandering black- lacquered ‘eyes’, doubles as the hours (at 9 o’clock) and seconds (at 3 o’clock) indicators. As the time passes, the pupils rotate and the dial appears to animate echoing Chaykin’s famous Joker and Clown Wristmons. 

At the centre is an arrow-shaped minute hand—a subtle reference to the Frog Princess tale—while the dial itself is built on textured layers, available in either a deep forest green or a rich violet. Lacquered nostrils, just below the pupils, add another playful touch. It is complemented by a two-tone minute track featuring a red segment marked with the Louis Erard and Konstantin Chaykin logos in white transfers at 6 o’clock. In a final twist of humour, the crown (crafted in Grade 5 titanium in both models, but comes with a 2N gold PVD treatment for the green model) sits at 12 o’clock—a nod, as the brand puts it, to the fact that this frog is a princess. The movement, a Sellita SW266-1 modified for the regulator layout, beats at 4 Hz and offers a 38-hour power reserve. It is elaboré grade, equipped with a custom openworked rotor lacquered in black, and visible through the sapphire caseback engraved with the limited edition number, ‘1 of 178.’
