The earliest mention of a mechanical clock in Russia is found in chronicles dating back to the early 15th century. The country’s first clock was apparently a weight-driven striking tower clock. It was installed in the Kremlin in Moscow as early as 1404. The clock, made by Lazar Serbin, a Serb who came from the Mount Athos Monastery, cost the Russian treasury over 150 roubles (an enormous sum in today's money). Serbin’s clock had a dial, an alarm, a “Jaquemart” that appeared to strike the hours and an astronomical display showing the positions of the planets.
Due to their bulk and weight, the first Russian tower clocks were made by foreign clockmakers who were later replaced by Russian craftsmen. The nation’s most famous clock, the Kremlin carillon, was made in 1621 and was mounted in 1625 in the Kremlin’s Spasskaya Tower by a clockmaker named Golovey. In 1706 the carillon was replaced by a new clock that Peter the Great had bought in Holland. Today’s Kremlin carillon was made in the 1850s at the Boutenop factory in Moscow.
However, Russia’s earliest craftsmen did not confine themselves to making only tower clocks: in 1620 watchmaker Moisey Terentyev made a miniature ring watch for Czar Mikhail of Russia.
Until the 18th century watches were a rarity in Russia: in 1700 the entire Imperial family owned only 23 watches; the boyars 24, and the archbishops no more than 9. Most of these watches had been given as presents by foreign visitors.
Mikhail Lomonosov, Russia’s first academician, worked to design precise marine chronometers, which were instrumental in determining longitude during ocean travel.
Aiming to eliminate the variations in rate due to temperature, Lomonosov introduced a fusee, to equalize the force of the four mainsprings, and also recommended that several clocks be kept onboard for time averaging. In 1764-1767 Ivan Kulibin (b. 1735 - d. 1818) created his famous “egg watch” that featured complicated striking work with carillon and automata representing religious scenes. The watch had a cylinder escapement, a balance spring and a fusee.
From 1796 to 1801 Kulibin worked to make an astronomical pocket watch. Contemporaries of Kulibin such as Terenty Voloskov, Leo Sabakin and Yegor Kuznetsov made sophisticated astronomical watches as well. Sabakin gave his first watch as a present to Russian Empress Elizabeth in 1784.
It happens that the Russian timepieces which are most sought-after by international collectors are not the most technically complex ones. The Bronnikov brothers, cabinetmakers from the town of Vyatka, made their way into the history of watchmaking through their unique watches made almost entirely of wood. The only two metal parts in their watches are the driving spring and the balance spring. Various sources claim the Bronnikovs made at least several hundred watches.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries Russia imported expensive and sophisticated watches, mostly from Switzerland. Timepieces by the celebrated Abraham-Louis Breguet became part of Russia’s history thanks to the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe and Courvoisier sold high-class watches to their most prosperous clients, among them many members of the ruling Romanov family, aristocrats, and famous artists.
We traveled back in time to bring you this rarely seen collection of masterpieces. These are timepieces made from history.
