Yugoslavian watches

Good afternoon Watch Crunch family. I’m looking for anyone with a Yugoslavian watch collection of either INSA, Gorenje, or Mastis watches. I’m interested in sharing photos and the story on my Instagram handle @Jugosatnaruci or if you are selling I may be interested in buying too. Hope there’s some of you out there in this super niche watch space.

I’m sure these watches are better quality than the Yugos cars they made back in the days.

Yugoslavia made watches? Always something new to learn here on WC. Were they based on ruskie designs like Raketa?

Technically assembled in Yugoslavia. They were supplied parts for the most part by “Slava” aka as the “second Moscow watch factory” and Luch aka “first Belorussian watch factory”. However due to Yugoslavia being much, much closer to the west most Yugoslavs would opt for either Nivada, Zenith, or Excelisor Park respectively.

I learn something new everyday. Never knew Yugoslavia made timepieces.

Anything on Earth has to be better quality than those.

So…Soviet watches assembled in Yugoslavia. Still cool!
