Babylonian is a wristwatch by Alexander Shorokhoff.

This watch was presented 2013 in the series “Avantgarde”.

The fascination of the zodiac observed and interpreted by the ancient Egyptians are captured on a watch dial. A whole cosmos with celestial bodies and signs of the zodiac is shining under the gently vaulted sapphire glass of the solid stainless steel case. The central element of this timekeeper is a hand engraved movement featuring a special polishing of sun beams at the front side. A grooved ornamental part at the horizontal axis in waves' shape represents the water of the rivers Euphrates and Tigris. A little sun and moon are standing out against the movement which is encircled by a glimmering purple-blue mother of pearl ring.

All components of the movement are engraved by hand with polished wheels, blued screws; visible through the sapphire crystal on both sides. The case is in stainless steel.

Limited to 500 pieces.

2015 the German Design Council nominated this model for the German Design Award.
