the beginning, every Vostok-Europe housed a Vostok movement.
Actually, they were and are proprietary movements, meaning they
are exclusive to VE, with special complications Zubovskj had commissioned, such as day-night indicators and dual time functions.
As VE has evolved they have expanded to other movements from
Japan and Switzerland and created a diverse line up of timepieces. More than a decade in, the experiment with Vostok continues
to thrive.
What all started with a suitcase full of watches from deep
inside Russia at the end of the cold war has become one the most
interesting and creative brands on the market today.
