Alexander Shorokhoff Neva. The dial "waves" are designed after the wind swept Neva River. The small seconds hand is a stylized N. The warm brown of the dial and case is reminiscent of the Amber Room, which is a state room whose walls are covered with amber, gold and mirror elements. Tsarina Elizabeth had it installed in 1741 in the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg and finally in 1755 in the Catherine Palace in Tsarskoye Selo (Tsar’s Village).
For the movement, the Russian caliber 3105.Poljot is used, which is derived from the Swiss Valjoux caliber 7734, but without chronograph function. The movement is completely overhauled, re-oiled, adjusted and tested at the “Alexander Shorokhoff” watch manufacture. The bridges, as always with “Alexander Shorokhoff” brand watches, are hand-engraved or cloud-cut, and the screws are polished and blued.
Limited to 98 pieces, this is one of my favorites.
Watch collector and enthusiast since 1976.
