Two magical hummingbirds play in a fairytale-like garden and collect the sweet nectar of the blossoms. The plumage shines in shimmering colors and a magical moment appears. In addition the dark mother-of-pearl dial underlines the fascinating interplay of colors.
What makes this model so special is the elaborately hand-painted and hand-enamelled mother-of-pearl dial. For the first time Alexander Shorokhoff uses miniature painting, which requires extraordinary precision and skillful hand guidance. To produce such a miniature painting, the painter works with a magnifying glass and needs on average 40 hours.
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”.

With the watch “Barbara”, Alexander Shorokhov pays his respects to one of the biggest contemporary jazz musicians, Barbara Dennerlein, famous for her play on the Hammond organ. “I am fascinated with Barbara’s avant-garde music. I created a watch with organ keys surrounding a clef that virtually breaks the mold on the colorful and vibrant background. The avant-garde design corresponds to the work of this unique artist”, is how Shorokhov described his conception of the watch.
What catches the eye is the vibrant orange of the upper ring symbolizing heat and fire, and the warm blue of the lower ring, alluding to mild equator nights. Just like the equator, both of them enclose the ocean, which is implied by the gleaming light and dark mother-of-pearl.

The dial is divided into two equal halves, just like the day at the equator. Through the two charming symbols of sun and moon, they radiate peace and serenity, but also a strong and positive energy that puts a smile on everybody’s face.
The “Vintage“-line has been extended with the new edition of the watch model “Lucky 8“. The new model is even more sophisticated with its filigree features and buoyant engravings. The cutout in the dial allows an insight view of the refined watch movement
The first ladies watch from “AS” was manufactured in honor of Alexander Pushkin. It is not a coincidence. Pushkin was a brilliant master of subtle and poetic expressions, which helped him become a favorite with the ladies and society in general.
In 2018 a handmade unique piece of this line was produced – the model “Squirrel”. This model was limited to 5 pieces and here is the first prototype, which at that time inspired all watch fans of the handmade watchmaking art.
