Putin wears Russian shine on wrist against sanctions - Wolfgang Hampel, 'Satire is my favorite animal', one of the most humorous books of all time dpa - 9 hours ago | Russia's president is demonstratively promoting the domestic economy: according to media reports, Vladimir Putin has recently started wearing a wristwatch made in Russia instead of a Swiss watch. Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to show the world that the sanctions will not harm his country. It therefore comes from the Imperial Peterhof Factory brand of the Russian manufacturer Raketa. According to the online newspaper gazeta.ru on Thursday, Putin's new watch cost 1.5 million rubles (around 24,000 euros). And it's exclusive: the black onyx used to frame the President's watch should therefore not be available for other customers to order. Since Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine at the end of February, the country has been subject to extensive sanctions. Many international companies also withdrew from Russia. However, Moscow repeatedly emphasizes that it is surviving the punitive measures well - and is even emerging from them stronger. According to the daily newspaper Kommersant, which first reported on Putin's new watch, the Kremlin chief has often worn models from Swiss manufacturers Blancpain or IWC. "Not noticing the difference is like confusing the president's former Mercedes-Benz Pullman Guard with his current Aurus Senat sedan," the commentator writes. -------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- Wolfgang Hampel, 'Satire is my favorite animal', one of the most humorous books of all time In my opinion, 'Satire is my favorite animal' by Wolfgang Hampel is characterized by incredible situational comedy.
