BABYLONIAN III
Fascination from millennia of history
The “Babylonian III” is a fascinating watch with a history spanning thousands of years and is the third successor in the beautiful series. It draws inspiration from Babylon, the capital of Babylonia, one of the most important cities of antiquity. Babylonian astronomy dates back to around 3000 BC, reaching its peak around 600-500 BC. With the resources available at that time, people obtained incredibly precise astronomical data. The constellations, as we know them today, were summarized and described in the ancient Babylonian culture.
In celebration of its 30th anniversary in 2022, the new model BABYLONIAN III made its comeback. Now, the new variant is available in a new color combination. Unlike its predecessors, this model is housed in a 43.5 mm case due to high demand.
The manual winding movement is intricately engraved and refined. The front bridge is hand-skeletonized and hand-engraved. The movement is adorned from below with a specially designed hand-skeletonized and engraved brass plate. The main plate and other bridges of the movement are hand-finished with a special graver, then yellow gold plated. Additionally, the back of the movement features a plate with beautiful skeletonization, rhodium-plated. A two-tone refinement of the movement creates contrasts and an elegant appearance.
The dial consists of two parts. The lower part showcases the zodiac signs, first etched and then hand-engraved. The outer area of each zodiac sign is hand-matted and yellow gold plated. On the upper part of the dial, which comprises two mother-of-pearl rings and hour markers, there is a minute track on the outer ring and the abbreviations of the zodiac signs on the inner ring.
This exceptional model in a stainless steel case is limited to 50 pieces.

A cosmos with celestial objects and zodiac signs opens up on the dial of the “Babylonian I”. At the center of this “galaxy” is a hand-engraved movement, as in many of “Alexander Shorokhoff” watches. It is equipped with a special decorative sunburst pattern.
The success of the first Babylonian model that was nominated for the German Design Award 2015, motivated Alexander Shorokhov to initiate a second version. The inspiration arose from the contact with the history of the biggest and most powerful city’s of ancient times – “Babylon”. It’s not a coincidence the name of the city translates to “gate of god”.
For this watch series, that is supposed to commemorate the biggest Russian composer, a very special movement was selected and enhanced for the alarm feature.
The envisioned subtle and soft alarm tone required our master watchmakers to completely replicate the Swiss caliber AS 1930. Due to a spring surrounding the movement, the alarm tone sounds significantly fuller now.
With the Day&Night Chrono, you stand out for sure. A classic style watch that incorporates attributes such as beauty and elegance with the exquisite craftsmanship and quality of watch making. The two-tier dial, the surface from genuine mother-of-pearl, the distinctive design of day and night display make this feminine watch a real eye-catcher on the wrist of any elegant person.
From time to time, you will be approached about your “C01” from Alexander Shorokhoff. You need to keep that in mind, if you decide in favor of it. Because the large numbers 20, 40, 60 and the two contrary colored “eyes” at 3 and 9 o‘clock are inconspicuous eye-catchers.
Chronograph-Regulators are absolute precision watches. Their mechanics are complex and intricate. However, the CRO1 offers even more sophisticated features.
The timer function has a contrasting color to increase readability and the feature can be easily operated with the two elongated push buttons.
