We are very pleased to be a partner of the Kiev watch factory and are constantly expanding our range of these Ukrainian watches!

The Kiev Watch Factory is the first and only Ukrainian company engaged in the mass production of watches. It was founded in Kyiv in 1997.

In November 2002, for the first time in the history of Ukraine, the plant started manufacturing wristwatches under the Kleynod brand.

The watches are assembled by hand on the basis of reliable Swiss RONDA mechanisms, stainless steel cases (316L), partly with IPG gold plating - the factory has a 4-step principle of technical product control.

Antonov Watches by Kleynod are  classic models,  inspired by Antonov's AN-178 aircraft and aviation in general.

They carry a piece of history, technological uniqueness, spirit and philosophy of the Antonov Company brand.

Every detail is not random and has its own special meaning. The shape of the watch case and the general silhouette have characteristic aerodynamic contours.

Altitude is a characteristic of AN aircraft, which is manifested in the watch by the perpendicular mounting of the watch strap to the watch case. The technological crown of the watch, the aeronautical blue colour, the guilloché imitation of the radar and its shifted center, the printed watch stripe repeating the marking of the runway, the sharp outlines of the hands with allusions to the contour of the aircraft.
