Description
Alexander Shorokhoff Square & Round 5 – Manual wind
Reference: AS.SR01-5
The colourful series of avant-garde – chronographs “Square & Round”.
Avant-garde” collection of “Alexander Shorokhoff” is presented by colours, shapes and abstractions. Colour attracts, binds and inspires. It is attractive to many painters, philosophers, poets, writers and other intellectuals. Kandinsky and Goethe were also inspired by it, and both even created their own colour theory. The deep feeling of colours, the philosophical consideration of colours, but also their connection to forms and smells, has made the teachings of these famous personalities world-famous. Today it is considered a cultural heritage.
Alexander Shorokhoff, the founder and designer of the brand “Alexander Shorokhoff” has again been inspired by colours.
In the new manual chronograph, he plays with precisely these different colours and shapes. This creates emotions that strike the heart. The rich colours of the dials create a subjective sense of well-being. The watches are much more than just a timepiece. They are small objects of art for the wrist and strengthen the perception of colour impressions.
But he also goes further. He also creates colour contrasts – black and red, green and beige, black and beige, grey and black. Partly the colours harmonize with each other and partly they provoke. But it’s all part of the plan to create an exciting and emotionally artistic watch.
The colours are clearly the main feature of the new series. For the red, a darker and strong but still warm shade was chosen, for green a juicy shade and for grey a more metallic – cold colour was determined. Black remains down-to-earth and serious and is realized in a semi-matte finish. The matching contrasting colours for the models are black and white. This creates a contrast not only in terms of colour, but also emotionally. In this case, the contrasting shades of warm and cold are not contrary, but harmonize with each other and complement each other. First, “Alexander Shorokhoff” presents two colours: red and black, the other two colours will follow.
Certainly, these chronographs will not go unnoticed by your colourfulness. In addition, their importance is further emphasized by the massive shape of a square case. However, the corners are rounded and somewhat relax the massive appearance.
The colour combinations of the watches are produced in two technical versions: each with an automatic movement ETA 7753 and with a hand-wound movement AS 3133. Both movements are elaborately reworked, hand-engraved and refined at the “Alexander Shorokhoff” watch manufactory. The small technical wonder can be seen through the sapphire crystal caseback. Furthermore, there is also an avant-garde ring on the back, which emphasizes the affiliation to the “Avantgarde” collection.
The Alexander Shorokhoff Square & Round 5 manual chronograph comes as a limited edition of 30 pieces. The watches are dedicated to the anniversary year of the Manufacture.
