sovietwatches
Soviet watch enthusiast.
At the end of the 80’s when I was a student I met a guy from the CCCP who needed help in Spain, I hosted him up for a night in my student flat, the next day as he needed money he offered me a watch and a Zenith camara, then I bought them for him. I wore the watch daily and took amazing photos with the camera, soon I discovered that they were built to last, and that the simplest is the best.
Unfortunately, the watch was lost when I graduated.
With the Internet use, I started collecting watches and tried to find the student watch, but the watches I was finding were not the same as the one I had….
In my research I found many watches of an exclusive design from a country that no longer exists. Sometimes, by observing them, it is possible to discover the history and particular stories.
I travelled virtually, far away to unusual places. And most importantly , I established a community of friends whom I admire deeply, and who have helped me, I don’t want to name anyone in particular, because I’m afraid not to mention them all, you will see my frank smile , then you will understand that I am thinking of you.
There have also been sad parts such as the current and heartbreaking war, in which only the innocent suffers
I invite to all of you to see my particular vision of Soviet watchmaking. All the watches shown belong to my collection, and the articles have been written by myself.
I hope you find it interesting.
Thanks for coming
Sebastian.
