Preserving history, creating the future

The Raketa Watch Factory in collaboration with the famous Moscow Sergey Obraztsov Puppet Theatre presents an exclusive watch model — Raketa Theatre. The limited series consists of 100 individually numbered pieces. Imagine it’s not just a watch, but a unique ticket to a special performance — where there are only 100 seats in the auditorium. Each watch is like a personalized theatre seat with an engraved number:

1/100, 2/100…100/100.

The dial of the model is inspired by the famous pediment clock that decorates the facade of the Sergey Obraztsov Puppet Theatre, where each hour corresponds to the figurine of an animal. Each figurine image has been reinterpreted by the Raketa’s designers in a modern avant-garde aesthetic and applied to the dial.

The restrained design of the Raketa Theatre watches is elegantly enhanced by three stylish accents: an avant-garde dial, multi-colored printing on the rotor, and contrasting stitching on the leather strap. These thoughtful details resonate with each other, creating a stricking balance of restraint and distinctiveness.

New time for the Sergey Obraztsov Puppet Theatre

The partnership with the Sergey Obraztsov Puppet Theatre goes beyond developing an exclusive watch model. Raketa specialists are also consulting the theatre on the restoration of its famous monumental facade clock. This project reflects the brand’s commitment to preserving cultural heritage and its tradition of incorporating art into watch movements.

Elena Bulukova, Director of the Sergey Obraztsov Puppet Theatre

“The clock is under restoration, but time at Obraztsov does not stand still. The clock’s characters have a new look now. Instead of becoming museum exhibits, they remain with us, as part of our living reality. This is how the living history of the puppet theatre continues”.

The art of appreciating time

For many people, the Sergey Obraztsov Puppet Theatre’s pediment clock is not just a mechanism but also a symbol of warm memories of the first time their parents brought them to meet fairy-tale characters. This tradition has become part of the personal history for thousands of families. Raketa’s new model is meant to bring back these touching moments, helping to lay the foundation for new traditions for future generations.

Made in Russia

The heart of the Raketa Theatre model is its automatic movement, manufactured from A to Z at the Raketa Watch Factory in St. Petersburg, one of the few watch manufacturers in the world that produces its own movements, relying on a base of Soviet-era production technology that passed down through generations.
