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 ...

April, 28, 2026 - 16:14

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – An Iranian deputy defense minister said the country is prepared to share its experiences from the war against the United States with member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

Brigadier General Reza Talaee Nik made the remarks after arriving in Kyrgyzstan to attend a meeting of defense ministers of SCO member states, where he was welcomed by General Talantbek Talipov, commander of the Air Defense Forces of Kyrgyzstan.

The Iranian general stated that the US is no longer in a position to dictate its policies to independent nations, adding that this reality has been made clear to the world through the resilience of the Iranian people and Armed Forces during the recent US-Israeli war of aggression.
