Back in the USSR

Sekonda fob watch, made in the USSR, has been languishing in the cupboard for years.

My husband used to use it in the UK, when he wore a waistcoat with a suit.

A little tarnished but it still works well.

Sekonda is a British brand which was established in 1966 to offer a collection of mechanical watches which were manufactured in Russia. With extensive marketing support and superb customer service Sekonda quickly became a household name. The introduction of the quartz movement saw manufacture moved to Hong Kong and this enabled Sekonda to introduce more fashionable styles. This combination and continued marketing support led to Sekonda becoming the best selling watch brand in units in the UK in 1988, a position that is still held today.
