Ruhla - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

I was walking through a flea market when my eye was drawn to this little wonder lying among other antique objects. At that moment, I knew that this watch was not just an accessory, but a treasure that had stood the test of time. Each tick-tock resonated like an echo of decades past, a reminder of the glory days of East Germany when this watch was made. It is connecting to a past where objects had a soul and a lifespan far beyond what we know today. This watch, with its unique design and timeless robustness, is much more than just an accessory to me. It is a legacy, a faithful companion that reminds me every day of the beauty and value of things that stand the test of time.

Rhula Mechanical Watch Ref: 23-13-05-56 KAL 24 vintage 1985/86 The RUHLA brand takes its name from the city of RUHLA in the former East Germany (DDR). After reunification, the brand moved from the DDR to the GDR (West) as indicated between 5h and 6h. The caliber is of mediocre quality but the interest of this watch is rather historical. I fell for its pretty little face... Unfortunately, I wear it very little because its operation is quite random. I put a fabric strap on it in the same color as the dial which gives it a bit of modernity.
