For the first time in English, Revolutionary Time tells the fascinating and largely unknown story of Soviet-era Russian watches and clocks. In just a few decades, the Soviet Russian  time industry leapt from non-existence to become the largest producer of mechanical clocks and watches in the world after Switzerland, producing timepieces that uniquely reflected the country s Marxist-Leninist ideals. Using photographs of watches and clocks in the Mark Gordon collection of Sovietera timepieces, the largest and most comprehensive collection of its kind in the world, this book chronicles the rise and fall of this remarkable industrial enterprise decade by decade from its humble beginnings in the 1920s through its rise to prominence in the 1960s to its decay after the fall of the Soviet empire.
