Collection of Islamic Models by Konstantin Chaykin

As you know, most of the Muslims live in the two calendar systems. They compare their life with lunar Hijra, the Islamic calendar, which is due to the time from the resettlement of the Prophet Muhammad in the city of Yathrib (Medina). This calendar is essential to Islam, because it determines the religious feasts and fasts.
Hijra is not the same with the Gregorian calendar, which is so common in many countries. To watch it for yourself over is pretty hard. That is why Muslims are published annually conversions calendar dates. This purpose is served by various calendar programs that are written for computers and mobile devices. There is also a watch equipped with quartz movements that allow you to monitor the dates of the Islamic calendar.

However, not many masters have managed to create the watches with the Muslim calendar. One of these talented artists is Konstantin Chaykin, a creator of the incomparable watch, the Russian master of world renown. The manufactory Konstantin Chaykin releases Islamic watches since 2005. He patented a number of inventions that are associated with the integration of the Muslim calendar into the watch mechanics.
Another invention of the company Konstantin Chaykin is a desktop and a wristwatch that is ticking Hijra. New items are masterpieces, works of art and the embodiment of the rich culture of Islam. Decoration of the internal components of the caliber has religious symbolism, and the visible elements are engraved quotations of the Koran (the holy book of the Muslims).
As for the external design of the models, it is designed with the traditional Muslim architecture: there are classical arabesques, Samarkand mosaic motifs and decorative elements in buildings veiled form of the mihrab (a niche in the wall of the mosque, with its two columns and arch) and Ivan (vaulted room in Islamic architecture).

The wristwatch "Hijra" is released by Konstantin Chaykin in two colors – with a white and black dial. To determine the current month, day of the religious calendar of Islam can be very easily at any time by using the counters located on the dials. In addition, the watch shows also days of the week and the phases of the moon.
The line includes a mosaic desktop clock "Al-Biruni", released in a single copy, and a watch "Lunar Hijra", made in different interior styles. All models have the same feature - a feature of the Muslim calendar, which allows you to determine the month and a number according to the lunar calendar Hijri.
