It would be a great find for any collector or vintage enthusiast!

Up for sale is a iconic vintage Soviet mechanical desk / mantel clock manufactured by the famed Molnija (Молния) Chelyabinsk Watch Factory in the USSR.

This classic model features a heavy, solid slab of natural Ural green stone - serpentinite (serpentine stone) - mounted within an architectural brass metal frame styled like a traditional carriage clock with a top ring handle and corner columns. The dial features distinct gradient sunburst texturing with stylized numerals and classic gold-tone hands.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF MOLNIJA

Founded in 1947 in Chelyabinsk, Russia, the Molnija Watch Factory became one of the Soviet Union's most premier manufacturers of pocket watches, desk clocks, and military aircraft instruments. Known for high precision and robust mechanisms, Molnija desk clocks adorned official Soviet offices, studies, and homes for decades.

RECOMMENDATIONS

All Antique and vintage watches are mechanical. Repairs require precision, so please handle this historical artifact with care.

  • Vintage mechanical clocks should not be beaten or dropped - shocks can damage the balance mechanism.
  • Protect your clock from direct contact with water or excessive humidity.
  • Winding any mechanical clock tight may break the mainspring. Stop winding as soon as you feel the natural resistance tightening up.
  • When adjusting the hands of your clock, move them in a clockwise direction only to prevent stress on the gear train.
  • Keep your clock away from strong magnetic fields since magnetic exposure can alter the balance spring performance.
  • Every 2-3 years it is recommended to service, clean, and oil vintage clocks to keep them running accurately for decades to come.
