This gleaming mid-century crystal timepiece was crafted in the Soviet Union under the ГОСТ 8309-75 manufacturing standard, dating it squarely to the late 1970s. Produced by the Majak factory in Penza, these faceted glass clocks were the pride of Soviet design — often gifted to diplomats and executives as symbols of precision and progress.
Its thick, cut-glass body refracts light like a gemstone, framing a deep emerald-green dial accented with gold numerals and hands. The piece rests on a polished chrome twin-arm stand with a sculpted black phenolic base — an elegant fusion of Art Deco geometry and Cold War engineering.
Inside, the 11-jewel hand-wound mechanical movement has been tested and runs smoothly, keeping time reliably. The clock winds easily, ticks with a strong beat, and holds power for more than 24 hours per wind. Whether you use it daily or showcase it as a conversation piece, this Majak is as functional as it is breathtaking.
