“Quality, beauty, prestige, relaxation, joy, happiness and freedom are a few words that describe the Costa Smeralda. They are qualities we try to perpetuate through our art. Hublot watches should not only be considered as timepieces, but more like objects of quality, prestige, beauty, freedom, joy and happiness. This is why the partnership between Hublot and Costa Smeralda seemed so obvious! “ Jean-Claude Biver, Hublot Chairman
The Costa Smeralda is not only widely celebrated as a playground for the most exclusive VIPs, but also for its unrivalled beaches and secluded coves. Located on the northern coast of the Italian island of Sardinia, Costa Smeralda is at the heart of the Mediterranean Sea and at the crossroads of international yachting routes.
The gilded tale began, fittingly, with a prince… Already 50 years have passed since Prince Karim Aga Khan arrived in Sardinia and created the Costa Smeralda Consortium and made of this place a destination for international Jetsetters. From the beautiful Grace Kelly to Brigitte Bardot and Ringo Starr, anybody… who was somebody…had to share a glass of champagne there.

Top French and Italian architects were hired to design, from scratch the little village of Porto Cervo. Famous golf club architect Robert Trent Jones was brought in to build a world-class golf facility, the Pevero Golf Club. It is known as one of the most beautiful golf courses in the world, and hosts many major international tournaments including the prestigious Italian Open. Today, Pevero is even enhanced by the presence of Hublot clocks in strategic locations, giving the club an even more sport-chic and luxurious look. Time goes by and Costa Smeralda is still the place to be for world class celebrities who like to gather at the famous Cala di Volpe when night descends on the village. Word has spread that this is where Hublot has chosen to unveil its Big Bang Costa Smeralda, a watch specially created for the 50th Anniversary.

Costa Smeralda’s 50th anniversary is celebrated by Hublot with two exclusive dedicated watches for men and women – each limited to only 100 pieces, which combine the summer and festive side of gold and sparkling diamonds. This elitist watch is the perfect reflection of the temperament of the beautiful A-list people who make Costa Smeralda what it is.

Alexander Shorokhov was born in 1960 in moscow. Early on in his school years,  he discovered his interest and talent in engineering, drawing and design. As a student he consolidated his knowledge in these disciplines and accomplished his engineering studies in moscow with distinction. His excellent results meant he was one of the few who selected to getting a good job in a state owned construction company in moscow.

In 1988, he began to participate in politics and became leader of the youth organisation in one of the districts Moscow. Because of his achievements and commitment, he was chosen in 1991, by the Russian president Michael Gorbatchev in a group of 20 „progressive” managers for further qualification under the conditions of free market in a sense of Glasnost and Perestroika. He attended a course in economics, which was organised by the ministry of economics of Hessen region in Germany. During this course he was studying German and English languages. In 1992, he founded a marketing company in order to sale and market the best and most important Russian watch brand Poljot. Not pleased by half-measures it was not long before he started to produce watches on his own in order meet high demands. This allowed him to apply and combine his talent and experience in mechanical design as well as his new knowledge of the free market.

In 1995, he launched his first own watch brand „Poljot-International“. This was followed in 2003 by the establishment of his signature premium label “Alexander Shorokhoff “. Nowadays, the small workshop in a small town called Alzenau, Germany is producing watches that are in high demand by watch connoisseurs the world over. Alexander Shorokhoff watches have become some of the most valuable and attractive objects d’art among all mechanical timekeepers.

Sein Edelstahlgehäuse bietet mit einem Durchmesser von 43,5 Millimetern viel Raum für die Wirkung des königsblauen Zifferblatts. Dieses schmückt entweder das Kürzel „HH“ oder ein Emblem aus Symbolen der Hansestadt – ersteres im Fall der Handaufzugs-, letzteres bei der Automatikversion. Die Werke werden bei Alexander Shorokhoff bearbeitet und veredelt, basieren aber auf bewährten Konstruktionen: Das Handaufzugskaliber AS.3133 geht auf Poljot zurück, das automatische AS.2030 auf Dubois Dépraz. Jeweils 100 Exemplare sind vom Handaufzugs-Chronograph (1.250 Euro) beziehungsweise vom Automatik-Chronograph (1.799 Euro)
