Review: Valuable Reference - This is an excellent volume. As with any work of this sort, it should be recognized for what it is, and what it is not. It is a photographic and descriptive summary of Levenberg's collection. Its scope is wide-ranging, encompassing chronometers, deck clocks, wrist- and pocket-watches. The photographs are excellent. I would prefer they all be in color, but we can't always get what we want, as The Rolling Stones reminded us ;). The descriptions are quite adequate, though some could use a little more information. I refer to this work almost daily (no kidding). Even so, I am still not at full ease with its layout. If I had my way, it would be sectioned off according to make: all Vostoks together, all Slavas together, etc. Trying to find a Komandirskie amid Slavas and Amphibias is a bit time consuming, but I was not contacted about the format when it was written. This author obviously had a plan and executed it. It is my place to adapt. And I have. Now, on to what this volume is not. It is not all-inclusive. It is not a catalog of every watch ever made by the Soviets/Russians. I have many watches which are not in this book just as he has many which I have never seen. Nor is this a buyer's or seller's guide. Although the book has a price guide, it is 17 years out of date. That being said, it is interesting to see what the prices were then compared to today's economy. It would be nice to have an expanded, updated version but I am sure production costs are a consideration weighed against the market demand of such an undertaking. The translation page at the back is a nice addition. The exploded diagrams/drawings are a wonderful bonus, as are the short descriptions of each manufacturer. I highly recommend this book to everyone with an interest in Soviet/Russian watches. It makes a great addition to the library, but even more, it imparts a lot of information in a small area. Well worth its price, and worthy of an update. Juri, if you are reading this, consider a Kindle-type of update.
Review: Great Read . - Very informative information if you collect or are just interested in purchasing a russian watch you need to consider buying this book it is full of information to help making your purchase .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good introduction to a complex topic
*by C***G on March 18, 2010*

There is lots of good stuff here. There is generally a one page outline of each of the main watch factories, their history and the main types of watch they produce. There is a photo identity and brief description of each of the main watch calibres, both dial and movement. There is a list of auction results for famous watches (space exploration, etc) and a valuation of all the other types. There is a description of other interesting stop watches (olympics, etc), ships' chronographs and military aircraft cockpit clocks. Levenberg often notes which watches are similar to other earlier models, which are often swiss. He also mentions the American Hampden and Ansonia factories which were bought and moved to Russia in the 1930s. I found the book most interesting and a very good reference for the casual collector, and am pleased to have bought it.
