We are very happy to be partners of the Kiev Watch Factory and are constantly expanding our program of these Ukrainian watches!
The Kiev Watch Factory is the first and only Ukrainian company engaged in the production of watches. It was founded in Kiev in 1997. In November 2002, for the first time in the history of Ukraine, the factory began producing wristwatches under the Kleynod brand. The watches are hand-assembled on the basis of reliable Swiss RONDA mechanisms, stainless steel cases (316L), partly with IPG gold plating - the factory has a 4-stage principle of technical product control.
Kleynod Automatic 44mm - with Swiss Selitta movement!
This new Kleynod Automatic "Independence" is dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Ukraine's independence. Limited to 300 pieces
This model, made in a two-component steel case with an IP blue coating on the upper ring, has a silver dial in a typical Ukrainian design.
The case has a sapphire crystal bottom that allows a view of the movement.
The Sellita SW200-1 is a round caliber with a mechanical lever movement and automatic winding. Thanks to the 28,800 vibrations per hour, the second hand runs very smoothly. The movement has an hour, minute and large second hand as well as a date display. The winding stem has three different positions: the first is manual winding, the second is quick correction of the date and the third is for setting the hands. Thanks to the stop-seconds function, the time can be set precisely.
The Sellita SW200 also has a ball-bearing rotor with high winding efficiency, 26 jewels and 38 hours of power reserve.
Sellita was founded in 1950 by Pierre Grandjean in La Chaux-de-Fonds in French-speaking Switzerland. The high demand for Swiss watches during the economic miracle years also boosted the business of the former reassembly company, which mass-produced standard calibers according to individual customer requirements.
At that time, Sellita did not yet have its own production facility. Even then, Pierre Grandjean specialized in watch movements whose construction was similar to ETA, and continued to optimize the assembly of the watch movements over the next few years. Inventions such as the laser welding process for attaching the hairspring to the balance wheel, for example, come from Sellita. Sellita SW200 When the patent for the ETA caliber 2824-2 expired in 2003 and ETA also announced that it would be restricting supplies to third-party customers, Pierre Grandjean decided that Sellita had to take a new direction: instead of just assembling the individual movement components as before, the most important parts of the movements should also be manufactured in-house. Grandjean entrusted his then operations manager Miguel Garcia with the implementation of this plan. He then arranged for the construction of a production facility for replicas of all components of ETA automatic calibers such as the 2824-2, which was then launched on the market shortly afterwards as the Sellita SW 200-1.
The plan worked and the replicas of the ETA movements were so in demand that Sellita quickly reached its capacity limits. In the next few years, additional production facilities were therefore built to meet the increasing demand for the popular and high-quality Sellita movements. The Sellita subsidiary Technicor, for example, specializes in the decoration and mechanical finishing of watch movement components and has the largest fully automatic electroplating facility in Switzerland.
Today, Sellita is the second largest manufacturer of mechanical watch movements in Europe. The replicas are in no way inferior to the ETA originals in terms of quality and are available to both large and small manufacturers. Sellita attaches great importance to being independent and not just specializing in supplying certain brands. Since Sellita also supplies competing brands, discretion is important to the company in order to protect the interests of its customers.
The watch comes with a special dark blue leather strap with folding clasp. If required, you can of course also purchase replacement straps from us in the long term.
With handmade case.
