Description
Alexander Shorokhoff Kandy Avantgarde Blue
The Alexander Shorokhoff Kandy Avantgarde Blue is a vivid new expression of colour, geometry, and mechanical watchmaking from one of Germany’s most recognisable independent watch brands. First presented in February 2026 at Inhorgenta, this limited-edition release follows the success of the original Kandy Avantgarde series, a collection that has long since sold out and become highly sought after among admirers of Alexander Shorokhoff’s bold design language.
Limited to just 50 pieces worldwide, the Kandy Avantgarde Blue brings a powerful new personality to the collection. As the name suggests, blue takes centre stage, appearing across the dial composition, hands, case detailing, and strap options. This is not a quiet or restrained watch. It is a confident, artistic statement created for collectors who appreciate individuality, expressive design, and the courage to step outside conventional watchmaking aesthetics.
The dial is the heart of the design, combining colour, structure, and artistic rhythm in true Alexander Shorokhoff style. A blue-and-white striped pattern frames the vividly arranged avant-garde dial, while mother-of-pearl elements add texture, depth, and visual contrast. The blue hour and minute hands continue the theme with strong clarity, while the blued central seconds hand brings an added sense of motion to the composition.
The square stainless-steel case measures 41 × 41 mm and has a remarkably slim height of just 9 mm, giving the watch a strong wrist presence without becoming overly heavy or cumbersome. Recessed case sides are filled with three blue wires, adding another layer of creative detail, while the case back features three colourful glass inserts that continue the watch’s expressive character even from behind.
Inside the Kandy Avantgarde Blue is either the ETA 2892 automatic calibre or the SW300 automatic calibre, both well-regarded for their slim profile, reliability, and proven performance. In keeping with Alexander Shorokhoff’s approach to mechanical artistry, the movement is enhanced with blued screws and a hand-engraved, hand-finished rotor. This level of finishing gives the watch a sense of individuality that extends beyond the visible dial.
The watch is supplied with two distinct strap options, allowing the personality of the piece to shift depending on how it is worn. The light-blue fabric-covered rubber strap gives the watch a sporty, contemporary feel, while the blue horse leather strap introduces a more refined and artistic character. Both are fitted with an engraved solid stainless-steel pin buckle, maintaining the attention to detail expected from the brand.
Dedicated to the spirit of Kandinsky, the Alexander Shorokhoff Kandy Avantgarde Blue is a watch that brings movement, colour, and life to the wrist. It is mechanical watchmaking treated as wearable art, combining reliable automatic performance with an unmistakably expressive design. For collectors drawn to independent watchmaking that refuses to follow the ordinary path, this 50-piece limited edition is a striking and memorable release.
