Product Description
If you had an aerial view of Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow—an 80,000-seat mega complex home to some of Russia’s greatest sporting events (including the 1980 Summer Olympic Games)—you would see many resemblances to CCCP’s VLASOV automatic watch. From the spoked indices and stylized bezel to the bold open-heart dial, the watch’s inspiration is clear Read More
I know nothing about the mechanical quality of this watch, and it is too big for my taste. It also takes (for me) about 11 seconds of observation and thought to determine that the wheel of numerals are dates, in the typical configuration and location, simply exposed to view. Is this an unnecessary gimmick? Sure, but why not? There are plenty of gimmicks (ie complications?) in the world of watches.
On a strictly esthetic basis, I find these models to be a complete success. The colors, balance of graphic elements, and proportions of the overall composition are strong and pleasing. Assuming the watch will actually work and last for a while, I think this seems like a great purchase.
(I am a published licensed architect and have exhibited sculpture in a leading west coast gallery, so I feel qualified to discuss the esthetic merits of an industrial design object). Thanks for reading! :)

LodiculusListen here Mr Art Vandalay, what looks good on a building doesn’t necessarily translate to a watch face.
WatchyoutalkingaboutSo true! I absolutely agree. These watches are bold and a little in-your-face, and I wouldn't want to live in one or have my office on the top floor. But I can easily imagine a slightly brash young watch enthusiast wearing one of these when he wants to make a statement, and not losing points with his critical peers (or the ladies....). Our very favorite watches may be classics - subtle and understated - but a little wrist chutzpah has its place, right?
bigred25929A few months ago I got a speck of metal in my eye at work. I thought it was on the inside of my eyelid, so based on a previous experience I decided to leave it be and see if it would come out naturally. Two days later it became quite uncomfortable, and I looked in the mirror to see if the speck wasn't actually on the eyeball.. sure enough, the offending particle was there plain as day, and I shouldn't have to tell you that trying to dislodge something from your eye with a toothpick or q-tip without anesthetic is a bad idea... By the time I scheduled a trip to the eye doc, both of my eyes were sensitive to light to the point I had to double up on sunglasses on the ride to the clinic. Doc took but a few seconds to flick the piece out of my numbed eye, and luckily there was no residual ring of rust that would have had to be ground out with a mini Dremel.
