To commemorate RAW's 15th anniversary in 2019, a special Celebratory Edition was created by Alexander Shorokhov, who described it as his "57,000 hours way to a masterpiece for RAW".
In coming up with this collectible, Shorokhov brought together things that reminded him about Singapore and RAW as well as his favourite things such as the combination of rose gold and stainless steel.
The Alexander Shorokhoff x RAW Celebratory Edition features a unique blue sunburst dial inspired by the blue waters surrounding Singapore and RAW's corporate colours.This collectible is limited to 15 pieces worldwide as a nod to RAW's 15th anniversary.
The watch is powered by the reliable and solid Russian AS3105 movement. Rose gold highlights complement the stainless steel elements of the watch. The inclusion of a chapter ring - a first in Alexander Shorokhoff's designs - gives the classic Avant Garde dial that the brand's fans are familiar with a totally different look.

The Alexander Shorokhoff Levels gets its name from the different levels of the dial. One level stands for your home time while the next level shows you the local time of the place wherever you are at the moment.On the third level, the Alexander Shorokhoff logo is placed and the fourth level shows the serial number of the watch.All levels are of different heights giving the dial a complexity as you gaze at it.The most important and highest level is placed above the calendar window.There, at an elevated “bridge”, a magnifying glass is positioned in a creative and innovative way in order to enlarge the visibility of the relatively small date display of the refined ETA2671 movement.In this arrangement, the magnifying glass resembles a monocle and underlines the creativity of Alexander Shorokhov, who breaks away from the practice of incorporating the magnifying glass directly into the sapphire front glass.
The complete rose gold-plated “skyscraper” construction is built on a guilloched “basement“ in petrol-blue or silver colour, creating contrasts and harmony at the same time. The colours have been selected perfectly. However, for an avant garde artist, it would be too simple and unimaginative to leave it like that.Alexander Shorokhov looks to add something extraordinary to give the watch an inimitable characteristic. By applying a coloured stripe of indefinite form, the artist has succeeded not only in keeping the perfect arrangement but also imparting to the watch the unmistakable trademark of an Alexander Shorokhoff design.

The success of the first Babylonian model from Alexander Shorokhoff that was nominated for the German Design Award 2015, motivated Alexander Shorokhov to come up with a second rendition. The inspiration of the Alexander Shorokhoff Babylonian II comes from the history of the biggest and most powerful city’s of ancient times, Babylon also known as Gate of Gods.
The prosperity of the city in its heyday attracted astronomers, scientists, craftsmen and artists and turned it into a highly developed cultural center. Furthermore, the stellar constellations were discovered there, with the zodiac signs invented and the first horoscopes created.
This is where the cultural fascination with Babylon is picked up. In the Babylonian II, through a highly complicated procedure, the movement’s plates and the outer ring of the dial are delicately carved out by hand and decoratively designed.
The combination of the hour circle of dark blue mother of pearl with imprinted zodiac signs and blued hands and hour markers create a fascinating picture. On the back of the watch, you can take pleasure in the masterful engravings.
