New Russian Watch Blog Now Live

Our new Russian Watch Blog is now open! For the latest news and information about Russian watches visit the new Russian Watch Guide Blog.

New posts include How to Identify a Russian Watch, a Sneak Preview of Vostok-Europe Lunokhod-2, and a photo of what very well could be the Ugliest Russian Watch ever designed.

Tips from a Russian Watch Expert

Russian Watch Guide recently had the opportunity to interview Mark Gordon, one of the world's top experts on Russian and Soviet watches. In the interview Mark shared his thoughts on the best Russian watch brands and movements, the quality of modern vs vintage Russian watches and much more.

Now You Can Add Comments to Articles in Russian Watch Guide

This weekend I updated Russian Watch Guide so visitors can comment on articles posted on the site. I hope this will help everybody share their knowledge about Russian Watches.

Dimensions and Photographs at Solod

I'm impressed by the photos and dimensional information for the watches sold at solod.com. Most online sellers only state the dimensions in their specs but solod goes a step further and illustrates the dimensions graphically. 

I find this very helpful when buying a watch online and usually refer to their online catalog even if I end up buying the watch elsewhere. It helps me visualize exactly how that watch will look on my wrist.

Some online watch sellers have outstanding 3d images of their watches. Don't think I've seen this at any Russian watch sites though.

Blog Starts Today

On this blog I'll be posting news and information about Russian watches by manufacturers such as Vostok, Vostok-Europe, Volmax, Maktime, Denissov, Raketa and Moscow Classic. 

I will focus mainly on new Russian watches currently available for retail sale.

I invite you to use this blog to share any news, tips or information you have about Russian watches.
