Keeping tradition
The roots of the Poljot-International watch brand date back to the 1930s, when the First State Watch Factory was founded in Moscow. In 1961, after Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel into space, the watches produced by the factory were given the name Poljot (flight).
In 1992, the watch distribution company Poljot-V GmbH was founded in Frankfurt am Main (Germany), where a new watch brand, Poljot-International, was launched in 1994 under the leadership of its managing director, Alexander Shorokhov. The newly founded Poljot-International brand continued the Russian traditions of the Poljot brand, but also embarked on a fundamentally different path of development: the use of high-quality materials for watch production, the creation of an independent, contemporary design, high-quality assembly work and strict, systematic quality control.
The design, manufacture and quality control of the watches, as well as servicing, were organised in Germany, which enabled the company to become completely independent and pursue its own development strategy. In the same year, the company was accepted into the “Association of the German Watch Industry”. The success of the “Poljot-International” brand enabled the company to take a leading position among watch manufacturers in the mid-price segment. Today, its products are sold in over 35 countries.
All watches of the Poljot-International brand are now manufactured in Germany. Nevertheless, the charm and delicacy of the design, the skilled hands of the master watchmakers, the warmth of the Russian soul and, of course, the love for Russia can still be seen and felt.
