Are you a gambling man, Mr Dostoevsky?
The Fedor Dostoevsky collection is dedicated to one of the greatest Russian philosophers and writers. Dostoevsky’s life was a succession of highs and lows as he swung between brilliant achievements and bitter defeats. His privileged childhood and his strong political opinions later in life gave fodder for his literary works. Alexander Shorokhoff’s Dostoevsky collection pays tribute to the multi-faceted and brilliant mind of this man and his passion for risk taking and winning.
The racy, casino-themed collection features well-known roulette and card imagery, presented in striking colours, for a man who knows how to play it right. Guilloched dials, classic colour ways with highlights of red, black and green and intelligent placement of time-keeping functions give these watches their unique character and masculine appeal. This series features the additional functions of day, power reserve, 24 hours scale and small date. A nice touch is the placement of the crown at the 12 o’clock position which leaves the case edges smooth and unhindered.
The polished, quadratic case frame the sapphire crystal case front in an elegant and refined manner. A surprise awaits the wearer on the reverse of the watch as the exhibition case back is lined with an enameled roulette wheel, denoting Dostoevsky’s penchant for gambling and the high life.
Through this generous pothole one can see the fine detail of the hand-skeletonised movement as it sits contentedly within its confines. Alexander Shorokhoff’s skilled engravers dedicate several days to complete the movement ennobling for each piece. In doing so, they not only re-detail the movement, but also create a dial with a unprecedented individuality and a dash of adventure.
So the questions is… do you play to win?
