The Start of a Passionate Journey
In the vibrant year of 1992, my adventure in the world of Russian watches began as I explored the markets of Milan aboard my blue FIAT 126. Among the stalls managed by Eastern vendors, on a day that seemed like any other, I discovered a Russian watch that looked like a submarine’s porthole, igniting my passion for these mechanical witnesses of Soviet history. This moment marked the beginning of an adventure that continues today, enriching not just my life but also those who share my interest.
From Passion to Recognition
As I deepened my understanding of Russian watches, learning about their mechanical qualities and historical significance, I discovered that my first “porthole” was actually a Vostok commemorative of Gagarin’s first space flight. My interest turned into a real passion which led me to write the book “Russian Watches for Collection” during the Covid lockdown, in collaboration with three other authors. This publication was a milestone that cemented my reputation in the field.
Growth and Connections
My dedication led me to frequent markets around the world, from the jewelry stores on Corso Buenos Aires to online platforms, expanding my network of international contacts. I’ve made friendships with collectors from the United States, Malaysia, and the Netherlands, transforming my passion into a global community. Additionally, I took an active role as the administrator of the Facebook group “Russian Watches Passion,” a meeting point for enthusiasts from all over Italy.
A Digital and Shared Future
With the advent of new technologies and digital platforms, I have expanded my online presence. Since August 2023, I began sharing my passion on TikTok and Instagram, creating content that explores the history and charm of Russian and Soviet watches. These channels allow me to reach a broader audience, sharing not only reviews and guides but also stories of watches that have marked epochs and cultures. My adventure in the world of watchmaking continues to grow, promising new discoveries and meetings, keeping alive the passion that unites a large family of enthusiasts worldwide.
