Alexander Shorokhoff Babylonian I Limited Edition Stem Winding – AS.BYL01

The Babylonian I watch is a limited edition masterpiece, skillfully encapsulating the allure of Babylonian and Egyptian constellations within its design. The dial, beneath a gently curved sapphire crystal, unveils a celestial cosmos adorned with hand-engraved celestial bodies and zodiac signs. At its core lies a meticulously crafted, hand-engraved movement with a sunburst finish, emphasizing the watch's artisanal elegance.

Symbolism is woven into every detail; a wave ornament, representing the rivers Euphrates and Tigris, marks the horizontal axis. The sun and moon grace the center of this cosmic display, contributing to the overall harmony. Adding depth to the "galaxy," zodiac signs are placed on a shimmering blue mother-of-pearl ring, enhancing both aesthetics and significance.

A dark blue frame, strategically positioned 1.5 mm lower, accentuates gold stars, making the numbers and silver hour and minute markings stand out. The hands, presented in a deep midnight blue, further enrich the watch's visual allure.

This timepiece, one of only 500 in existence, was nominated for the German Design Award in 2015, underlining its recognition for design excellence. In essence, the Babylonian I transcends conventional timekeeping, emerging as a wearable work of art that pays homage to ancient civilizations while offering a unique and exclusive experience for collectors and enthusiasts.
