WatchRussia.com is a web portal dedicated to the fine art of watch-making and jewellery, a logical extension of one of Europe's most reputable publications in this area — WATCH magazine.
The portal consists of two thematic sections. The largest section is dedicated to watches: the masters of watch-making and watch manufacturers, watch connoisseurs and processes taking place in the world horological industry. A separate rubric is dedicated to news and coverage of the two most important industry events — the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in Geneva and the BaselWorld show in Basel.
The primary focus of the second section of the portal is not just timepieces, but the very notion of time itself. It helps the reader to feel and form a better understanding of the concept of time through the prism of cultural processes taking place in society. Theatre and cinema, fine arts and photography, design and architecture — all of these areas are covered by this section of the portal. A special portion of the site is dedicated to automobiles, haute cuisine and travel.
