The Alexander Shorokhoff Neva Chronograph is a limited edition of 100 pieces and inspired by the mighty and most water-rich river in Europe - the Neva. This is a 74km long river in Russia, which flows from Lake Ladoga into the Neva Bay of the Baltic Sea, passing through Saint Petersburg.
From this inspiration, the wavy guilloché dial was created and can be found in the Alexander Shorokhoff Neva Chronograph - at the upper and somewhat smaller dial, with the hour markers punched out there.
The small curved second hand in the shape of the letter “N”, referencing the name of the watch, as well as the magnificence of the city of St Petersburg through its curved shape, is also found in the Alexander Shorokhoff Neva Chronograph. Silver hands create a shiny contrast to the colourful appearance of the dial, making it easier to read the time.
Furthermore, the beautiful automatic chronograph offers the familiar features of the Alexander Shorokhoff AvantGarde line: the large number 60, the silver-coloured “Alexander Shorokhoff” lettering, which this time has been displayed as an application, and a water resistance of up to 5ATM. The 43.5mm stainless steel case houses the hand-engraved and refined 2030.AS (base 2030 Dubouis Depraz) calibre with a hand-engraved and refined rotor.

The Alexander Shorokhoff AvantGarde 08 is a true masterpiece of the avant-garde design movement. It breaks the boundaries of conventional watch design and plays with bold colour combinations. The three main colours used in this watch are orange, yellow and blue – each colour brings a certain contrast to the black background and creates a certain emotionality.
The avant-garde design language of each hour section on the Alexander Shorokhoff AvantGarde 08 makes the watch a real work of art. Depicted with white colour, each elaboration symbolises the corresponding hour in its own unique way.
The elongated hands with round recesses, also in the three avant-garde colours, are perfectly coordinated and form a harmonious interplay with the dial. The round recesses give the hands an elegant lightness that perfectly matches their slim design. They are not only a useful element in any watch, but also a statement.
Together, all these colours form a harmonious and strong colour scheme that makes the Alexander Shorokhoff AvantGarde 08 not only a formal timepiece, but also an expression of the style and personality of its wearer.
The hand-wound 2614.AS calibre powering the watch is distinguished by its hand engraving and finishing, which gives the movement a special aesthetic. Blued screws add a colourful accent and complete the appearance. The calibre is equipped with 17 jewels integrated into the movement to minimise wear and increase accuracy. The power reserve of the caliber is about 42 hours, which means that the watch can run for about two days after being fully wound before it needs to be wound again. All in all, the Alexander Shorokhoff AvantGarde 08 is an elegant and precise choice for watch lovers who are interested in traditional movements with a special aesthetic.
The bracelet was designed in the same style as the dial, with contrasting coloured stitching in red and yellow on cool black, contrasting yet balanced. It is another creative move and a symbol of the creativity and originality of the creator Alexander Shorokhov.
This avant-garde art object is limited to only 50 pieces, making it a rare and sought-after collector’s item.
