Kalašnikov
Mihail Kalašnikov is one of the most known person from ex. USSR, sadly due to the world's most famous and often used rifle AK-47 which used Kalašnikov concept. Kalašnikov now gives his name for series of peaceful products. In one period of time also Kalašnikov watches appeared.
In fact kalašnikov watches have nothing to do with russian watch industry, watches are swiss made. The only reason that I have put those watches here is link to soviet past and link through Kalašnikov name.
I owe one watch wich use Ronda quartz movement.
