Alexander Shorokhoff Babylonian II

Description

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.
