The avant-garde movement on your wrist!

The avant-garde movement, born out of the art and literature of the early 20th century, stands for one thing: the courage to experiment, the joy of breaking with tradition and unmistakable individuality. It is the perfect intersection between watchmaking, design and personal expression – and with the new hand-wound model “Karandash”, Alexander Shorokhoff brings this avant-garde directly to the wrist. Those who wear it not only demonstrate style, but also courage for creativity and uniqueness.

The watch literally cries out for attention: the yellow, elongated hands with red tips and round cut-outs almost steal the show from all the other elements. They play the leading role on the dial while harmonising perfectly with every detail around them. The green subdial at the 9 o’clock position transforms into a colourful instrument for the off-centre seconds, while the blue subdial opposite, with its openwork design, stylishly displays the date.

The yellow ring with minute markings and the recessed dial add depth, while the outer ring – adorned with artists who have shaped the avant-garde – is slightly raised, giving the whole piece the appearance of a small work of art. Hour markers with orange accents and the striking “60” are in the same colour as the 43.5 mm stainless steel case – harmonious down to the last detail.

A glimpse inside: the refined 3105.AS hand-wound movement can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back. Hand engravings, rose gold plating, hand-polished and blued screws, and cloud-finished wheels make every glance at the movement a moment of luxury. The black calfskin strap with green decorative stitching echoes the green colour of the dial and perfectly rounds off this total work of art. With only 50 pieces available, the “Karandash” is deliberately different, a limited expression of creativity – art on the wrist that catches the eye, inspires and amazes.
