Konstantin Chaykin presented the original Minions Wristmon at Dubai Watch Week 2021. This stainless-steel limited edition comprises 38 watches and turns the time display into a character-like face: hour and minute discs form the eyes, while a moonphase indicator creates the smile. The maker calls the model “Minions” (plural), although the assigned title uses “The Minion.”
What makes the Minions Wristmon distinctive?
The Minions is part of Chaykin’s Wristmons collection, known for watches whose displays resemble expressive faces. In this model, the two time-indication discs serve as eyes, and the moonphase display below them forms a smile. The manufacturer describes the time display as “Joker” indication.
The maker’s press material called it “an absolute wristmon, and a piece of haute horlogerie.” That wording appears in the manufacturer’s material without a named speaker, so it should not be attributed personally to Chaykin.
When was it presented, and how many were made?
The original stainless-steel Minions Wristmon was presented at Dubai Watch Week 2021, which opened on 24 November 2021. Konstantin Chaykin lists the edition as 38 pieces; Phillips also describes the original as a 38-piece stainless-steel edition.

How the original differs from Minions Titanium
Minions Titanium is a separate model introduced in March 2023, not a material or edition-size variation of the original steel watch. The manufacturer describes it as a 99-piece titanium edition with automatic caliber K.18-15.
| Detail | Original Minions Wristmon | Minions Titanium |
|---|---|---|
| Release timing | Presented at Dubai Watch Week 2021 | Introduced in March 2023 |
| Case material | Stainless steel | Titanium |
| Movement | Automatic K.07-3 | Automatic K.18-15 |
| Edition size | 38 pieces | 99 pieces |
The manufacturer’s Titanium page reported that its pieces were already reserved at the time represented by that page. That historical statement does not establish present availability for either model.

Availability and price
The available sources do not establish a current retail price or whether the original Minions Wristmon is presently available. Phillips documents a past auction appearance of the steel model, including an additional denim strap and travel presentation box; that record is evidence of a prior secondary-market listing, not a live offer or an indication of current market value.
