2.0928 CORNAVIN ‘CARROUSEL SECOND’ USSR-UK, 1970s

£270.00

Check out this rare USSR-HK-UK production watch.

This piece breaks the no.1 rule of soviet technical design: ‘Mens watches should be strictly functional’ with its fun carousel hand design, making it a rare find indeed. A very unlikely design for the USSR market which made this watch very unlikely to get state commission approval at the time of it’s manufacture.

Certainly a fun and stylish piece of horological history! now available with a 12 month warranty.

 

About Cornavin

The Cornavin brand was founded in Switzerland in the 1950. In the 1970s they started outsourcing to other countries for parts, assembly or complete manufacture. This included Soviet movements sent to Switzerland or Hong Kong for assembly and complete Soviet manufacture. These days they have returned to Swiss manufacture.
