Description
The art of Alexander Shorokhov represents peace, help and support. For Shorokhov, there is no alternative but peace!
For this reason, in response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the founder and owner of the Alexander Shorokhoff watch manufactory has created a design for a pocket watch that symbolises peace like no other of his art objects before: the pocket watch, Art for Peace. The pocket watch features a friendly, colourful and harmonious design with a peace sign to send its message of peace to the whole world.
The Alexander Shorokhoff Art for Peace pocket watch is designed in the popular avant-garde style of the brand. The main element is the peace sign, which takes centrestage on the pocket watch dial and thus conveys the intended message immediately. The lines of the peace sign divide the dial into 4 coloured parts.
The colours blue and yellow derived from the Ukrainian flag can be seen on the pocket watch dial, alongside orange and green - colours which feature in almost all of Alexander Shorokhoff's avant-garde models. The trademark of the German watch manufactory - the large number 60 - is, as always, in its usual place. The hour and minute hands are also in the trademark curved shape design. The blued surface of the hands and the outer minute scale ensure easy reading of the time. The small seconds at 6 o'clock and its seconds hand give the watch even more precision.
The two artistically designed texts, "Alexander Shorokhoff" and "Peace", at 9 and 3 o'clock were created exactly according to the hand drawing of the designer, Alexander Shorokhov. These, therefore, do not follow a perfectly worked out font, but are artistically free.
According to the philosophy of the designer Alexander Shorokhov, man and the world in which he lives is not perfect. However, harmony, contentment and peace are important.
A beautiful calibre 3105 movement with Côtes de Genève, which is based on the basic structure of the Swiss Valjoux movement 7734 without a chrono function, serves as the heart of the Alexander Shorokhoff Art for Peace pocket watch. And this is also a positioning of the company. True Russian history is full of interesting history and culture. Famous figures such as Tchaikovsky, Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy are an integral part of international art and culture. Kandinsky, Malevich and Yuri Gagarin have also left their mark on world history, each in their own way wise and with his own milestone that shaped the world.
There are only 10 pieces of this special model, which was designed with a lot of heart and love and is intended to convey these feelings accordingly, available worldwide. One of these models was raffled off by the watch manufacturer as part of a fundraiser - the entire proceeds from this model will go to a donation account in the city of Alzenau - the home of the watch manufacturer - for the benefit of Ukrainian refugees. The city of Alzenau is home to many refugees from Ukraine and supports everyone who needs help to find their way back to normal life. The Alexander Shorokhoff watch manufactory supports this from the bottom of its heart.
The other nine pieces are distributed to the most important distributors worldwide to spread the beautiful message of peace around the world.
Here, too, part of the proceeds are donated by the partners to various non-profit organizations. As Alexander Shorokhov himself said: “Let's be strong and help together. Love and support is the most we can give.”
