In wall, desktop and even a pocket watch signal devices have appeared in the Middle Ages. But to create a watch with an alarm clock, suitable for a batch production, long time was not possible. The matter is that any alarm clock consists of two high-grade movements: one usual, for time indication, another - for a call. As a rule, these hours two clockwork springs, two devices of the switching, two wheel transfers. That such big and difficult design to "stamp" till the size of a watch, it is necessary to provide small backlashes between details, so - very high accuracy of their manufacturing.

In 1956 aspiration "to catch up and overtake the West" has pushed to the working out beginning in the USSR"Russian cricket". Not to invent a bicycle, the decision to take for a basis design AS 1475 as the most advanced and technically made was accepted.

Release of the new movement has been charged 1 МChZ. Only here could create and master a design of similar level of complexity. The movement which has received the name "Signal" and an index 2612, two young designers - Konstantin Kashin and Victor Zaharov developed.

The processed movement has turned out extremely successful and reliable, hardly probable has not surpassed a primogenitor. Without any changes it was issued 20 years, and only in 1978 has undergone to modernisation and has received an index 2612.1. The basic changes have concerned "hearts" of hours - balance knot. Transition on modern without screws the balance, a new regulator-thermometer and other innovations have allowed to increase accuracy of hours. If till 1978 "Signal" concerned 2 class of hours, after modernisation - to 1. In all the rest the movement has not lost appeal and to this day. Will be in the world of designs which 45 years would exist a little.
