Alexander Shorokhoff – Bella & Alla

A Token of Love for a Woman!

Love can be expressed in countless ways: through a delicate flower, through the powerful words “I love you,” or through sincere acts of affection. And that’s exactly what Alexander Shorokhov did! In a beautiful gesture of devotion, he dedicated this watch, called “Bella & Alla,” to his wife Alla. This watch is not just a timepiece, but a symbol of his boundless love for her. With a bouquet of flowers in the shape of a watch, lovingly hand-painted with delicate blossoms, he presents her with a lasting reminder of their shared love that will blossom forever.

The “Bella & Alla” is undoubtedly a true masterpiece. The floral pattern was first punched and etched into the correct shape with utmost precision. This was followed by intricate hand engraving, which brings every detail of the flowers to life and emphasizes their authenticity. Only after this painstaking process was the dial finished in precious yellow gold, and finally, the enamel was applied by hand to give each petal an incomparable vibrancy.

The case was also crafted with exceptional dedication. The black PVD coating lends the automatic watch a sophisticated appearance. A remarkable feature is the lugs, which are welded onto the case back at a later stage — not by coincidence. Along the sides, three small recesses can be found, carefully hand-enameled in delicate pastel colors to harmonize with the dial. To achieve this precise and delicate work, the case must remain free of any fittings during the enameling process. Each color is applied at different intervals and carefully dried, resulting in a unique and detailed finish.

The hour and minute hands are yellow-gold colored, matching the elegant dial. An exquisite alligator leather strap in vibrant fuchsia red, complemented by an engraved solid stainless steel pin buckle, was specially selected to highlight the unique character of this model.

It is powered by a high-quality Swiss automatic movement featuring a hand-engraved and refined oscillating weight, blue-blued screws, and 21 jewels. The movement offers a power reserve of approximately 47 hours and allows a view through the round sapphire crystal case back — unlike other models using the same case, which feature four colored glasses instead.

With a strict limitation of only 25 pieces, this model will not be available forever. However, the love and appreciation Alexander Shorokhov has dedicated to his wife will live on for all time.
