A Floral Ode to Affection : The Alexander Shorokhoff Bella & Alla Watch

A Floral Ode to Affection : The Alexander Shorokhoff Bella & Alla Watch

In the realm of horology, few creations resonate as profoundly as the Alexander Shorokhoff Bella & Alla watch—a heartfelt tribute from master watchmaker Alexander Shorokhov to his wife, Alla. This limited-edition timepiece, restricted to just 13 pieces, transcends mere functionality, embodying a narrative of love, artistry, and meticulous craftsmanship.

The Bella & Alla watch is more than an accessory; it's a canvas of emotion. The dial showcases a bouquet of hand-engraved and enameled flowers, each petal meticulously crafted to capture the essence of a blooming garden. This intricate design symbolizes a love that, like the flowers, is ever-growing and eternal.

Every element of the Bella & Alla watch reflects Alexander Shorokhoff's dedication to excellence:

Dial: The floral pattern is first precision-punched and etched, followed by detailed hand engraving. A layer of precious yellow gold is then applied, culminating in hand-applied enamel that brings each blossom to life.

Case: Crafted from stainless steel with a sophisticated black PVD coating, the case features three hand-enameled recesses in pastel hues, harmonizing with the dial's floral motif. The lugs are welded onto the case back post-enameling, ensuring the integrity of the delicate enamel work.

Hands and Strap: Yellow-gold-colored hour and minute hands complement the dial, while a vibrant fuchsia red alligator leather strap, secured with an engraved stainless steel pin buckle, accentuates the watch's unique character.

At the heart of the Bella & Alla watch lies a Swiss automatic ETA 2892 movement, renowned for its reliability. This movement is enhanced with a hand-engraved and refined oscillating weight, blued screws, and 21 jewels, offering a power reserve of approximately 47 hours. A round sapphire crystal case back provides a window into the intricate mechanics within.
