Alexander Shorokhoff Home 2: Hommage to Hundertwasser

The journey of the “Home” model, an extremely unique watch project with watch blogger and content creator Florian Bach, also known as “flomp89,” is ongoing! Following the very successful debut of the namesake model, Florian and Inga, the daughter of Alexander Shorokhov, have already been working on a successor. They have taken many customer wishes into account and created the new version called “Home 2”.

The historical background and inspiration for this model, drawn from the architectural works of Hundertwasser, remain intact. However, some changes in the color scheme will surely make hearts soar as well. The new model “Home 2” continues to embody the slightly quirky and artistic theme of architecture, all in the style of Alexander Shorokhoff. The colorful, geometric shapes have been individually crafted yet harmoniously presented as “house appliqués” against a greenish shimmering dial background. The green tone is meant to evoke the theme of environmental protection, which Hundertwasser passionately advocated.

Surrounded by a wave-like guilloche pattern in the upper section and a tile-like guilloche pattern in the lower section of the dial, the focus remains entirely on the colorful houses at the center of the dial. These have been crafted with cold enamel and mother-of-pearl inlays. The small blue star appliqué at 10 o’clock and the arrow appliqué at 1 o’clock recall the starry sky above the “roofs” of the Home 2.

New features include the white lacquered hands with a black decorative line, significantly enhancing legibility and clearly standing out against the dial. The second hand shines in rose-gold color, complementing the hour appliqués and the large hallmark of the Alexander Shorokhoff manufactory, the prominent number sixty.

The rectangular case impresses with a noble stainless steel finish, with the side recesses of the middle section adorned with green enamel. Equally unusual is the case back, which features four small round glass windows in three different avant-garde colors—red, yellow, and blue. With its dimensions of 41 x 41 millimeters, it fits almost seamlessly on any wrist.

Powering the watch is a high-quality Swiss automatic movement with a hand-engraved and refined rotor, blued screws, and 21 jewels. It has a power reserve of approximately 47 hours.

For this model, there are three strap options that customers can choose according to their preferences. The first option features a high-quality green rubber strap with a folding clasp. The second and third options are more elegantly designed, coming with either a black stingray leather strap or a gray ostrich leather strap.

With a limited edition of only 10 pieces, this extraordinary automatic watch showcases exclusivity and represents another successful collaboration between the two creative minds.
