Alexander Shorokhoff Los Craneos II

During his trip through Mexico, Alexander Shorokhov, founder of the Alexander Shorokhoff watch manufacturer, visited various museums and places where Frida Kahlo worked. He was very impressed by her presence and creativity, the colors, the inner strength of the works of art, who herself had a dramatic and spectacular life full of pain and passion. In 2018, Alexander Shorokhov dedicated his watch "Los Craneos" - which has long since sold out - to her.

There are now a few examples of the II series left:  

The first limited series of the "Los Craneos" model was dedicated to Frida Kahlo, the famous Mexican painter. The successor model is also designed with skulls, but shows the cheerful and colorful side of Frida Kahlo.

Unlike the previous model, the skulls are now covered in colorful enamel, making them appear much more emotional, lively and peaceful.

The color of the individual enameled parts is meticulously selected to convey the artistic emotion. Transparent enamel is usually used here, which gives the color a special depth. The bottom of the individual skull sectors is highlighted by a fine matting, which the engraver works out by hand with a special stylus. The individual sectors are then artistically designed in the Mexican tradition, as was the case with the Aztecs. The individual sectors and their elements are designed in such a way that they are divided into hours, so that the time is easier to read.

Finally, the "Alexander Shorokhoff Uhrenmanufaktur" also produces high-quality mechanical watches with its art objects. The colors of the basic dial are now friendlier; compared to the first model, they are produced in a noble champagne or gray tone. The striking 62 rivet applications remain in this series, but are given a yellow gold plating. The case for the two automatic movements remains made of stainless steel.

The movements are hand-engraved and finished accordingly. You can see them through special glass windows in the base of the watch. Overall, the new version of the watch is friendlier, more creative, more emotional and fully in keeping with the art of Frida Kahlo.
