Known for his colorful and expressive watch dials and whimsical yet desireable shapes, Alexander Shorokhoff regularly surprises and delights consumers looking for something with a cool edgy feel. The newest Alexander Shorokhoff “Emotio Due” fits the bill – seamlessly merging functionality with contemporary design via an automatic timepiece that captivates through subtle complexity. Limited to just 50 pieces, this exclusive watch reflects the brand’s signature avant-garde creativity and dedication to craftsmanship.
At first glance, the “Emotio Due” appears understated, but a closer inspection reveals a wealth of remarkable details. The dial’s embossed avant-garde pattern adds depth without overwhelming the aesthetic, while the wave-like central motif draws the eye to the watch’s key elements. Among these is the unconventional placement of the prominent number “60” at the 9:00 position, a bold departure from traditional design.
Similarly, the decentralized seconds hand challenges expectations: its zero point deviates from the usual 12:00 position, aligning about 15 seconds to the left, adding an artistic touch.
Two subdials, crafted from exquisite mother-of-pearl, further enhance the watch’s character. The upper subdial, rendered in lightly hued pastel mother-of-pearl, displays the date, while the lower subdial tracks the power reserve in varying colors of mother of pearl. These elements create a dynamic visual interplay, complemented by dark yellow hands accented with black lines and gold-plated hour markers that seamlessly blend into the overall design.
The “Emotio Due” measures 42mm in diameter and is crafted in stainless steel. It is powered by the slim STP12-1 automatic movement with a power reserve of 42 hours. Hand-engraved and visible through the sapphire crystal back, this movement underscores the watch’s balance of artistry and functionality.
Attention to detail extends to the strap, a high-quality crocodile leather band that complements the watch’s avant-garde elegance. The engraved stainless steel pin buckle completes the design, ensuring both comfort and sophistication on the wrist.
Priced at €2,590, the “Emotio Due” represents an accessible entry into Alexander Shorokhoff’s world of imaginative timekeeping, artistic ingenuity and emotionally strong color ways. Just 50 pieces will be made.
