The watch brand “Alexander Shorokhoff” was founded in Germany in 2003, although the designer and manufacturer Alexander Shorokhoff mingled in the watch sphere since 1992. Early on in his school years, he discovered his interest and talent in engineering, drawing and design. In due course of time the “interest” was replaces by the professionalism. In 1991 Alexander Shorokhoff was sent to Germany for studying the management in the free market conditions. In 1992 in Frankfurt-on-Main he founded a marketing company in order to sale and market the best and most important Russian watch brand Poljot. Not pleased by only selling the watches Shorokhoff wanted to express his creativity. Soon this idea materialized in his watch manufacture, meeting high demands of the designer. The new idea of Shorokhoff provided him with possibility to express himself not only as a designer, but also as a manger. “Poljot-International” is the first realization of Shorokhoff’s creativity.
Since its creation the watch brand design is noted by 3 series: classic (The Winter Palace, The nights in Saint-Petersburg), historic (Gorbachev, Gagarin) and devoted to aviation and naval (Yak-7). The watch brand developed its manufacture policy – to produce the mechanical watches with exclusive design and accuracy.
