Any Good Russian Women's Watches Under $3000?

I recently received an email from a reader asking about women's watches made in Russia. Here's the email:

"It's our anniversary in November and I'd like to buy my wife a watch as an anniversary present. My budget is about $3,000. Most manual or automatic watches for women I've been finding are much more than $3,000. Are there any Russian watch manufacturers that produce women's watches?"

My suggestion to this gentleman was that he check out the NIKA watches at Russia2all.com.

Nika "NJW" is the leading manufacturer of gold and fashion wrist watches in Russia. The watches are relatively affordable, considering they are made with either 14k and 18k gold, plus the designs are modern and stylish. NIKA watches use Swiss and Japanese movements.

Here's a link to the Nika website where you can view their stunning designs.
