The Russian company ‚Maktime Watch Factory Ltd.‘ was founded in 1996. It specialises in the production and selling (including for export) of:

gentleman’s and ladies gold wrist watches with stainless steel and titanium cases
watch movements (15, 20, 31 calibres). Catalog 2011 Gold, Catalog 2011 Silver, Radonej 2011

As a result of a long-term strategy set forth in 2000, Maktime Watch Factory has gone on to become one of the top three watchmakers in the Russian watch industry in 2007.

Strategy cycles:

In 2003 Maktime purchased a controlling share of one of USSR’s leading watch makers – the Penza 3rd watch factory (founded in 1940). The factory’s history is steeped in tradition. It manufactured wrist watches under the famous brands of Zvezda, Pobeda, Zaria, Mechta, Unost and Vesna as well creating and putting into production movement calibers (1509, 1609, 1800, 2009 and 2615). Almost everything that was built there was made available for export.

In 2005 Maktime acquired the 1st Moscow watch factory ‚Poljot‘ production line which manufactured chrono movement 3133. ‚Poljot‘ staff who worked on this production line were subsequently employed by Maktime. At the present time, batch production of the chrono movement 31 calibre is fully set up.

In 2006 Maktime acquired a stake in the 2nd Moscow watch factory ‚Slava Moscow‘. This move allowed Maktime to substantially increase the quality and volume of production.

Today, ‚Maktime‘ is a full circle watch factory.
