"Time Under the Red Star" – Author: Przemysław Jóźwiak

"Time Under the Red Star" is a fascinating journey that will allow the reader to learn more about the original and in many respects unique watch industry that developed in the Soviet Union.

From this publication You'll learn, among other things, about how the local watch industry emerged and operated from tsarist times until the fall of the USSR. You'll discover the history of Soviet factories, the realities of war production, the dramatic yet successful evacuation of industrial plants beyond the Urals, and, of course, the most interesting, as well as lesser-known, watch models. It's also the story of the people who created them.

Przemysław Jóźwiak He has been collecting Soviet watches for years and has been dealing with the watch industry in the Soviet Union, and this book is the result of his in-depth research on the subject.

This work will fill a gap in Polish-language horological literature. So far, although Soviet watches have been and still are the most common on the Polish market for years, no book has been written that comprehensively discusses this topic. Therefore, this work is historically important and, due to the author's accessible language, also very engaging.
