AS PAINTED BY HAND – ORANGE HORSE – AS. AS.UNIQUEO.2
The first “UNIQUE0” Alexander Shorokhoff watch for the 30th anniversary.
Unique and very exclusive and only for the anniversary year “Alexander Shorokhoff” designs a total of 30 unique one-of-a-kind watches with a limitation of only one piece!
The first model of the anniversary collection “UNIQUE0“ is called “Orange Horse”.
Many world-famous painters, especially those who painted in the avant-garde direction, have dealt with the theme of the horse. For example Franz Marc with the “Blue Horse I” or Pablo Picasso with his world famous “Guernica” or also Wassily Kandinsky with the “Abstract Horse”.
Alexander Shorokhov has also dealt with this theme and for the first time a horse also appears as a motif in his collection. It glows in a strong orange, an expressive color often used in avant-garde art. In its execution, the horse expresses a certain independence, pride and courage to be different. Alexander Shorokhov wanted the depiction to be as close as possible to his sketch, as if it had been painted by hand. That is why there are very simple and free black lines on the horse, which come from Alexander Shorokhov’s pencil. The handwriting of a real artist. The landscape and the sky surrounding the horse are painted in green and blue colors.
To give this “painting” a certain “naturalness” and “mobility”, the entire dial was made of high-quality mother-of-pearl. The landscape, the sky and the horse were composed of different individual parts. The clouds were printed in gray. In the center of the clock, in a round circle, is the hour hand. There, the hours are read accurately with the help of a small blued hand that fits exactly in the round circle. The minute hand, which has the usual length, is also blued. The silver-colored second hand punctuates the overall look. The trademark of Alexander Shorokhoff, the mighty number “60”, is in its usual place.
The overall work of art comes in a rectangular stainless steel case, with real gold wire on the side, like a picture in a frame. The watch is powered by a Swiss movement, Caliber ETA 2892/Selita 300 with a hand engraved rotor. The watch comes with two bracelets: A rubber strap and a genuine crocodile strap, to emphasize both the sporty feeling and elegance.
The uniqueness and exceptional creativity of this model will certainly increase the value of this watch, and therefore should be considered as an investment item. After all, who knows whether this “art object” for the wrist will not one day achieve similar high prices as Kandinsky, Klimt or Picasso today.
