Men's watch Alexander Shorokhoff Merkur AS.VK-MKR5 belongs to the Avantgarde model range. The new model called “Merkur” is a special watch which, in addition to displaying the current time, also shows the date, day of the week and month. Unlike a simple date display, which shows only the current date, a full calendar provides a more comprehensive date function. A watch with a full calendar is therefore a practical choice for those who want to see all possible date information at a glance.
The choice of colours for this model was also made very thoughtfully. The harmonious combination of rich green, warm golden tones and bright orange on the leather strap, date hand and moon phase creates a balanced and attractive colour palette.
The day of the month is displayed by a central hand with an orange tip, while the day of the week and month are displayed in a window at the 12 o’clock position. In addition, the Merkur AS.VK-MKR5 offers an additional function that displays the current lunar phase (6 o’clock position). This shows how the Moon appears in the sky and which phase it is in. This is designed as a moon display in the form of a small disc that slowly moves over the course of the month and shows different phases of the moon, such as full moon, half moon, new moon and waning moon. During the full moon, the orange “sphere” appears exactly in the centre of the aperture, opposite the marker at 29,5 days, which is the time it takes for the Moon to orbit the Earth once and pass through all its phases.
The moon phase display is an aesthetic and traditional element of many wristwatches and is often integrated into watches for enthusiasts of astronomical details or for watch collectors. The planet Mercury is located very close to the Sun and is therefore constantly exposed to solar radiation and the solar wind. For this reason, the planet as inspiration has a yellow-orange shade that perfectly complements the orange-glowing moon phase.
The case of the Alexander Shorokhoff Merkur AS.VK-MKR5 is made of stainless steel. Inside is the DD9000 automatic caliber from Duboise Depraz, whose hand-engraved and decorated rotor embodies the essence of craftsmanship. With its blue screws and 25 jewels adorning the movement, it is a true expression of precision and elegance. The power reserve is 42 hours. With a limited production of only 31 pieces, the new model is a real rarity.
Thanks to the case diameter of 43,5 mm, this watch fits most men's wrists. The water resistance of 5 ATM indicates that the watch can handle lighter contact with water, such as hand washing or a shower.
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.

Alexander Shorokhoff is a German company producing mechanical watches with a highly artistic design. The founder of the brand is Mr. Alexander Shorokhov, who was sent to Germany in 1991 as one of the best managers to further his education in his field. Within one year, he established a trading company for the most important Russian watch brand Poljot here with the aim of enabling the commercialization of this brand in all European countries. In 1994, he started his own business with his first own watch brand, Poljot-International.
However, in order to fulfill his great ambition to produce high-quality watches independently, in 2003 he founded the watch company Alexander Shorokhoff under his own name, based in the town of Alzenau in the heart of Bavaria. The two letters "f" at the end of the company's name are a reference to its Russian roots and the historical background of the brand.
Alexander Shorokhov is a world citizen. He travels the world and draws inspiration from the many countries and cultures he visits. But it draws the most from its roots, which stem from a rich and thousand-year artistic and cultural history. These aspects combined with German precision lead to an unusual individual watch design, combined with great commitment, excellent quality and the highest possible precision.
The brand will present itself to us in three main model lines: Avantgarde, Heritage and Vintage.
Helveti.eu is an authorized dealer and specialist of the Alexander Shorokhoff brand.
