Horological Meandering

Visiting Red Army Watches (lots of pics) Part 1

 

Red Army Watches (RAW) opens its latest branch (5th branch in total) at the brand new Tropicana City which is the newest mall in the suburbs of Petaling Jaya in Malaysia. I found out about it and decided to drop by to have a look. My thanks to Team RAW - Sugiharto Kusumadi (MD of RAW), Soemantri and Julianna Chai (MD of RAW Malaysia) for accommodating my visit by providing the explanations and taking the time to provide me with kind attention smile

Fyi, RAW retails some affordable German, Russian and Chinese brands of watches and it was an interesting experience for me as these brands are not often highlighted especially with so many of them in one retail outlet.

Some scenes in the shop...





A lot of thought has been put into the design of the shop to streamline and highlight the pieces

Limited Edition corner



Moscow Classic showcase



Aviator showcase



Aviator Wings and Moscow Classic Amphibia



Lots of details to enhance the theme











And on the T-shirts



And a cool watch case



Onto the watches...

there are a lot of single handers around now, i have one, but this particular watch is very balanced and gives features not normally seen on that style of watch. a bit like the Meistersinger chrono. very nice indeed from a brand not considered to be very ... 

I agree

I was impressed with that piece as well. Even though the finishing on the movement side needs a bit more work, the porcelain dial caught my eye.

As aloresa mentioned

I called them to clarify further about the porcelain and after checking the literature further, it's actually burnt ceramic gloss coating. So I'm guessing it's not porcelain in the traditional sense. Sorry to disappoint.

Its ceramic gloss paint

Would like to clarify that the dial is covered with burnt ceramic gloss paint giving it a surface similar to porcelain.
