 Good read and new for me, it was most interesting. Now here is another interesting fact.

"The Sturmanskie watch manufactured by the First Moscow Watch Factory was the first watch in space. Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin wore this watch on April 12, 1961 when he became the first person in space."

Here is a good info link.
