HOW AN ENGLISHMAN SAVED RUSSIAN WATCHES ⌚️ RAKETA 🚀

Bold, beautiful, and brave. That’s how I would describe the Russian Raketa watch. A watch worn by those who aren’t afraid to stand out, the daring souls that conquer the space, sea, and polar regions. But the history of the Raketa watch factory goes back 300 years, to the time of Peter the Great. Since then, it has produced the Kremlin Stars, the first watch to go to space, Raketa, and then…it almost collapsed with the fall of the Soviet Union. That’s until an Englishman came into the picture and made it his mission to keep the wheels turning. Meet David Henderson-Stewart, the CEO of Raketa and the man behind its revival.

Thanks to David, Raketa has taken flight not only in Russia but onto the global stage as well. 🌍 I sat down with him in his Moscow creative studio to discuss why making a watch is almost as difficult as sending a rocket into space. 🚀 I also had the opportunity to tour the Raketa factory in ...

What's going on at its summit?

On the border of three countries—Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana—stands a mountain best treated with caution. Its flat summit reaches into the clouds, and its sheer walls seem to have been carved by a giant knife. The indigenous peoples called it the home of the gods and tried to avoid it. Modern travelers call Roraima "the lost world"—the very same one that inspired Conan Doyle's novel. But the more scientists study this mountain, the stronger the feeling that everything here operates by different laws—even time.
A Mountain Without a Summit
Roraima isn't your typical pyramid of mountain slopes. It's a plateau, 34 square kilometers in area, rising 2.7 kilometers above sea level. On all sides are nearly vertical walls, from which hundreds of waterfalls tumble. From below, the mountain appears to float in mid-air.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

Hope to see you all asap.
