Molnija, Watch manufacturing facility in Chelyabinsk, Russia.
Molnija is a watch factory in Chelyabinsk focused on producing mechanical timepieces through separate workshops dedicated to each manufacturing stage. The facility spans multiple buildings that house different phases, from component machining through final quality checks.
The factory was founded in 1947 during Russia's post-war industrialization period and started producing watches shortly after. Over the decades, it became an important part of Soviet and later Russian watchmaking, continuing operations into the present day.
The factory keeps alive Russian watchmaking traditions, with local artisans assembling mechanical movements by hand in workshops you can observe. This hands-on approach to timekeeping reflects a commitment to craftsmanship that shapes the work daily.
You can buy Molnija watches directly at the factory shop or order them online for worldwide delivery. Plan your visit around standard working hours, as the workshop operates according to regular production schedules.
The factory produces specialized chronometers for industrial use that can keep precise time under extreme conditions and demanding environments. These precision instruments undergo rigorous quality checks that go far beyond what standard consumer watches require.
