Российские часы: новая роскошь вместо Швейцарии? | Виктор Манкаш | Честный подкаст

When did the first watches appear in Rus'? Is it true that the day was once divided into 17 hours? What watches did Pushkin, Leo Tolstoy, Stalin, and Vladimir Putin wear? And why were Soviet watches known and purchased far beyond the USSR's borders? We'll answer these questions in the new episode of the "Honest Podcast" with Viktor Mankash, a watch blogger, host of the "Pro Chasy" channel, and member of the National Association of Watchmakers of Russia. We'll discuss the history of Russian time, from the Moscow Kremlin tower clock to the legendary Soviet brands "Pobeda," "Polet," "Slava," "Raketa," and "Chaika." We'll discuss how watches became part of the country's history, a status symbol, a tool for the army, navy, and space exploration, and explore the current state of the Russian watch industry. What Russian watches are worth buying as a gift? Do we have an alternative to Swiss brands? And why are Russian watchmakers increasingly attracting the attention of collectors around the world?
