Male watches Alexander Shorokhoff Los Craneos AS.DT02-1

Elegant men's watch Alexander Shorokhoff Los Craneos AS.DT02-1 belongs to the Avantgarde model range. Revolutionary moods affected Mexico at the beginning of the 20th century, not only society but also art. Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, David Siqueiros and Frida Kahlo became the main representatives of revolutionary Mexican painting and gained world fame. 

The case of the Los Craneos AS.DT02-1 watch is made of stainless steel. Inside it there are two movements 2671.AS with automatic winding and a dual time function. The rotors of the movements are engraved. Their operation can be observed thanks to the transparent caseback made of sapphire crystal with two openings. The power reserve is 42 hours. The Los Craneos AS.DT02-1 model has a dual time function, and each skull represents a dial showing either the main (4 o'clock position) or dual (10 o'clock position) time. Everything is protected by a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.

Alexander Shorokhov during his travels in Mexico visited various museums and places where Frida Kahlo, an admirable woman and painter, lived and worked. The originality, vivid colours and enormous inner strength of her paintings, as well as the dramatic life full of emotions and passion, strongly impressed A. Shorokhov. Under the influence of her emotional and vivid paintings, a new watch model was created. 

Its main motif consists of two elements: two skulls and arrows - metal applications of a pyramid shape with a sharp tip, representing Frida's life filled with cruel pain and her constant struggle with death. Skulls appear in many of her paintings, thus reminding of the constant presence of death in her life. The symbol of skulls is deeply rooted in Mexican culture and represents the constant struggle for life or death. The metal tips symbolise the sharp pain that penetrated Frida's body like sharp arrows. During the days spent in hospital fighting for her life, she decided to paint, and it was painting that then helped her forget the pain. 

The skulls are hand-engraved, and therefore each skull on the dial is slightly different and unique, as is the case with manual work. This makes each piece an original and unrepeatable specimen.

The water resistance of this model is set to 5 ATM, so the watch can come into contact with splashing water, for example when washing hands or when showering. The watch is supplied with a leather strap made of genuine ostrich leather. On the buckle we find the engraved AS logo.

The watch was produced in a limited edition of 47 pieces, because that is how many years Frida lived.

The manufacturer reserves the right to change the strap colour. The straps are hand-stitched and it may happen that the leather in the given colour is no longer available.
