THE ANTAGONIST OF NORMALITY
UNIQUE AVANTGARDE 2

In addition to many extraordinary models, a truly avant-garde model must not be missing from the UNIQUEO collection.

For this, Alexander Shorokhov has thought up and created something very special.

In the new model “AS.UNIQUEO.23 – UNIQUE AVANTGARDE 2”, he combines avant-garde design elements, as well as avant-garde letters with nostalgic, traditional guilloché in the center. At first glance, this seems unusual. However, it blends well with the overall look of the watch. It creates a harmonious feeling that does not make the dial look too cluttered.

The colors are as usual for many avant-garde models of “Alexander Shorokhoff”: orange, yellow, green and a soft blue represented by mother-of-pearl. The elements and letters are slightly raised, which is achieved by etching the lower surface. The pattern is printed on mother-of-pearl. The dial includes other avant-garde elements such as a check pattern at 3 o’clock and a “spiral” in red at 9 o’clock. The Alexander Shorokhoff logo is located in the center of the circle in the checkered area.

The minute scale is located on the outer scale of the guilloché, giving more space to the avant-garde display. As a result, the watch appears slightly larger than it is, with a diameter of 43.5 millimeters. The hour and minute hands are made in the popular “Alexander Shorokhoff shape” and have white luminous paint. The date is visible in a window at 6 o’clock in a minimalist version.

Inside the watch hides the hand-wound 3105.AS movement, which can be seen through the sapphire crystal caseback. The movement is intricately decorated with small curved hand engravings and then finished with a rose gold plating.  The screws are hand-polished and hand-blued, and the wheels are cloud-ground. All this is housed in a stainless steel case, IP black coated, with anti-reflective sapphire crystal.

With a limited edition of only 1 piece, this exceptional model is again a unique one-of-a-kind, dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Manufacture.
