Twentieth century Russian wristwatches are too costly for many
native buyers, but they are still inexpensive for Western
Collectors, and are becoming extremely popular. Watch faces
commemorate all the great moments of Russian and Soviet
history-from Yuri Gagarin's space flight to the Summit meeting
between Gorbachev and George Bush-and celebrate Russian culture
with images of native costumes from Chechnya to the Ukraine.
Collectors have long clamored for a definitive reference and this
new book will satisfy even the most avid enthusiast, with
photographs of over 500 watches manufactured in Russia and the USSR
during the second half of this century, and explanations of their
styles, workings, and manufacturers. Poljot, Wostok, and Slava
wristwatches are covered, along with a sampling of pocket watches,
deck watches, and marine chronometers. This book is a must for
serious collectors in the growing field of Russian timekeepers.
