Description
Alexander Shorokhoff Cadamomo 3
The Alexander Shorokhoff Cadamomo 3 brings a fresh artistic perspective to the traditional full-calendar complication, combining sophisticated mechanical watchmaking with the German manufacture’s unmistakable avant-garde design philosophy. Building on the popularity of the original Cadamomo collection, this latest interpretation introduces an intricate grey guilloché dial, expressive colour accents and a carefully arranged series of calendar displays. Limited to just 30 pieces worldwide, the Cadamomo 3 is an exceptional example of independent watchmaking that places creativity alongside technical achievement.
At the centre of the design is a beautifully composed dial that presents the date, day of the week, month and moon phase through a collection of unconventional yet thoughtfully organised indicators. A striking yellow central date hand with a contrasting blue tip points towards the date scale around the outer dial, while the day and month are displayed in distinctive subdials at 10 and 2 o’clock respectively. The moon phase indicator occupies the 6 o’clock position, introducing a traditional astronomical complication into an otherwise decidedly contemporary arrangement.
The grey guilloché dial provides a richly textured background for the colourful calendar indications, with carefully selected shades of yellow, blue and green contributing to the watch’s distinctive character. The artistic AVG-style subdials feature unique graphic treatments that set them apart from conventional calendar displays. Black hour and minute hands with white luminous material maintain a clear distinction between timekeeping and the supplementary indications, ensuring that the elaborate dial remains functional despite its playful composition.
Powering the Cadamomo 3 is the automatic calibre DD9000, a sophisticated mechanical movement offering approximately 42 hours of power reserve. Its construction accommodates the full-calendar functions while incorporating decorative details associated with Alexander Shorokhoff’s approach to fine watchmaking. A hand-engraved and refined oscillating weight, blued screws and three specially designed subdial discs demonstrate the attention devoted to both the mechanical and artistic aspects of the watch. The movement can be admired through the sapphire crystal exhibition case back.
The polished character of the stainless steel case complements the unconventional dial without competing for attention. Measuring 43.5 mm in diameter and 11.55 mm in height, the case provides the generous proportions required to accommodate the detailed calendar arrangement. Sapphire crystal protects both the dial and the movement, with an anti-reflective coating on the front crystal improving visibility. Water resistance is rated to 5 ATM, while the 22 mm lug width accommodates a distinctive light yellow calfskin leather strap, completed by an engraved solid stainless steel pin buckle.
Even the Cadamomo name reflects the creativity behind the collection, with CA-DA-MO-MO representing Calendar, Day, Month and Moon. This playful interpretation of traditional horological terminology captures the philosophy that has established Alexander Shorokhoff as one of the more unconventional names in independent watchmaking. With its captivating calendar displays, carefully decorated automatic movement and extremely limited production of 30 pieces, the Cadamomo 3 offers collectors a compelling combination of mechanical sophistication, artistic individuality and exceptional rarity.
