This second volume represents a natural expansion of a vast and fascinating topic: Soviet and Russian watchmaking. Through over 150 models, we immerse ourselves in a timeframe of over 100 years, starting from the first watches donated by the Imperial family of the Romanovs up to the modern watches produced in the same factories that were once part of the First Moscow Watch Factory. The over 300 high-quality photographs reveal details that narrate epic stories and the heroes of an era. Not only watches, but also political and religious personalities of the time find space in these pages. The space race, with its triumphs and challenges, is a centrai theme, and the images transport us to the crucial moments of this human adventure. The Perestroika, already mentioned in the first book, becomes a true fashion phenomenon, especially in Italy, with the "Red Army watches" flooding the market. But this trend quickly dissipates, shifting towards Germany after the dissolution of the USSR at the end of 1991. But that's not all: the technical details are equally fascinating. Soviet engineers achieved extraordinary success with ultra-thin, electromechanical, and quarti movements, remaining at the forefront for their time.
