Artistry in Time: Unveiling the 'Black Cat' by Alexander Shorokhoff

Alexander Shorokhoff introduces a groundbreaking timepiece that seamlessly intertwines art and precision—the "Black Cat." Black cats, renowned for their symbolism and aesthetic allure, have long inspired artists throughout history. Édouard Manet, Théophile Steinlen, and Pablo Picasso are just a few who immortalized these feline creatures in iconic works.

A first for Shorokhoff, the "Black Cat" features a feline motif crafted from black mother-of-pearl. Gracefully concealed on the dial, the cat exudes playfulness, courage, and curiosity towards a delicate butterfly in the upper part of the timepiece—an enchanting work of art.

To infuse the dial with naturalness and movement, high-quality mother-of-pearl envelops the entire surface, adorned with Shorokhoff's signature. The iconic '60' and blued hands, ensuring readability, maintain their powerful presence in this model.

Encased in a rectangular stainless steel frame measuring 36 x 36 millimeters, the watch is a masterpiece within its own frame. Available with either a hand-engraved and refined automatic caliber or a manual winding caliber, each version is limited to just 19 pieces. Adding to its elegance, the "Black Cat" comes with two straps: a green ostrich leather strap and an orange crocodile strap, both complemented by a stainless steel folding clasp.

For those who appreciate the extraordinary creativity and uniqueness of this model, the "Black Cat" is not just a timepiece but an investment. Limited to 19 pieces per version, the watch boasts a technical prowess that includes an automatic caliber with a power reserve of approximately 40 hours or a manual winding caliber with a power reserve of about 37 hours.
