The calm and the dazzling beauty of wide open spaces
This Molnia (lightning bolt in Russian) pocket watch from the Chelyabinsk factory, a city in the Urals that serves as a bridge between Europe and the vast Siberian wilderness, is based on an 18-jewel, type 3602 movement with a frequency of 2.5Hz. The advantage of this type of case is that it offers ample space for the dial. The chrome-plated brass case is 45mm in diameter. The dial is minimalist; there are markers for each minute, the hours are indicated by Arabic numerals, and only a double axis marks the seconds. It is admittedly a little dirty but retains a great simplicity. The music that could be associated with this watch would be Ennio Morricone's score for the film *The Good, the Bad and the Ugly*, for its impression of space and immensity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvE1AzktGMY
