The new Avantgarde 08 model from Alexander Shorokhoff is a true masterpiece of the avant-garde design movement, breaking the boundaries of conventional watch design and playing with bold colour combinations.

The avant-garde design language of each hour section makes the watch a real work of art. Depicted with white colour, each elaboration symbolises the corresponding hour in its own unique way. The elongated hands with round recesses, also in the three avant-garde colours, are perfectly coordinated and form a harmonious interplay with the dial. The round recesses give the hands an elegant lightness that perfectly matches their slim design. They are not only a useful element in any watch, but also a statement.

The hand-wound 2614.AS caliber is distinguished by its hand engraving and finishing, which gives the movement a special aesthetic. The blued screws add a colourful accent and complete the appearance. The caliber is equipped with 17 jewels integrated into the movement to minimise wear and increase accuracy. The power reserve of the caliber is about 42 hours, which means that the watch can run for about two days after being fully wound before it needs to be wound again.

The bracelet is designed in the same style as the dial, with contrasting coloured stitching in red and yellow on cool black, contrasting yet balanced. It is another creative move and a symbol of the creativity and originality of the creator Alexander Shorokhov.
This avant-garde art object is limited to only 50 pieces, making it a rare and sought-after collector’s item.
