Debido a una polémica discusión en WUS acerca del origen de esta marca, y de si deberia o no ser discutida en los sub-foros destinados a la relojería Soviética/Rusa, Igor Zubovskij (Director General de KoLiz Vostok Co. Ltd.) deja esta aclaración en WUS que me parece bastante interesante y importante:
***"Since the foundation of the Vostok Europe brand members of the Watchuseek forum have been discussing Vostok Europe watches and our company in their threads. All of them show real interest to our products and contain different opinions about them. These opinions are highly important and significant to us. However, sometimes we see incorrect information in such threads, based on rumors and fantasies of some uninformed people. So we would like to publish brief information about us and our products which could be useful for better understanding who we are and what we are doing in our company:
Our Koliz Vostok Company - Lithuanian-Russian Joint venture was founded by Koliz Co. (Vilnius, Lithuania) and Chistopol Watch Factory Vostok (Chistopol, Russia) in 2003. During all these years we have been working together and in cooperation with our Russian partners. We used “Vostok” name for our “Vostok Europe” brand name in agreement with the factory and internationally registered this trade mark worldwide (including Russia).
All our watches have been designed and assembled here in Vilnius in cooperation with our business partners and shareholders from Chistopol, Russia.
We have never used anything illegally and we haven’t stolen anything from anybody. We’re a legal company exporting our watches from the EU to more than 30 countries. Due to our activities and projects worldwide, “Vostok Europe” watches have become well-known in many countries and continents from USA to Japan and from Sweden to Indonesia.
We’d be happy to answer any possible questions and discuss any proposals from all people who are not indifferent to our products.
With best regards from Vostok of Europe,
Igor Zubovskij
Managing Director
KoLiz Vostok Co. Ltd."***
