Limited Edition "108 Minutes" Watch Collection

We are pleased to present a collection marking the 65th anniversary of the first human spaceflight – an event that became one of the key milestones of the 20th century and changed humanity's understanding of its own capabilities. On April 12, 1961, the flight was made by Soviet pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin.

The "108 Minutes" collection was created in collaboration with the Roscosmos State Corporation and is dedicated to those very 108 minutes that ushered in a new space era.

The design is based on an interpretation of the first flight – fr om visual solutions to the model's features. Every detail here has its meaning.

The model uses a Vostok automatic winding movement – a symbolic reference to the spacecraft that carried out the first human spaceflight. Special attention is paid to time display: the watch features a 24‑hour format, wh ere one full rotation of the hand equals a full day.

The dial captures the moment of the historic flight, showing the cosmonaut's flight time – 108 minutes (09:07–10:55). The case is engraved with the call sign "Kedr" (Cedar). The grey nylon strap with an orange stripe down the middle references the famous space suit. The inscription "Poyekhali!" (Let's go!) on the strap has been familiar to many since childhood. The collection includes a second leather strap.

The embossed black dial features an image of Earth as seen from an altitude of about 300 kilometers – the altitude at which the first human spaceflight took place. The sculpted hands shaped like the Vostok‑1 rocket, applied hour markers, and contrasting printing enhance the dynamism and emphasize the model's character. The watch case back features lenticular printing of the Earth, creating a rotation effect when the case is turned.

"108 Minutes" is a limited edition collection that brings together the precision of watchmaking and the scale of an event that influenced the course of history.
