A BRIEF HISTORY OF SLAVA
Slava Watches has a rich history rooted in the Russian watchmaking tradition. The company was founded in 1924 in Moscow, Soviet Union, under the name “Second Moscow Watch Factory.” Initially, it was established to produce timepieces for the Red Army, catering to the needs of military personnel. During World War II, the factory played a crucial role in supplying watches for the Soviet military.
In the post-war era, the Second Moscow Watch Factory, like many Soviet enterprises, underwent significant expansion and modernization. It became renowned for its innovative designs and reliable movements, earning a reputation for producing high-quality timepieces at affordable prices. In 1959, the factory introduced the brand “Slava,” which means “Glory” in Russian, marking a significant milestone in its history.
Throughout the Cold War period, Slava Watches continued to thrive, producing a wide range of mechanical watches, including dress watches, sports watches, and chronographs. The brand gained popularity both domestically and internationally, with its timepieces appreciated for their durability, accuracy, and distinctive Soviet design aesthetics.
