The
2nd Moscow Watch Factory is the home of Slava โ ะกะปะฐะฒะฐ- Glory watches
and clocks. The factory started as the โState Trust for Precision
Mechanics โ Gostrest Tochmek- ะะพัััะตัั ะขะพัะผะตั
โ in 1924 and in 1930
became the 2nd Moscow Watch Factory. During the 1930s the factory
developed wrist watches, alarm, wall and car clocks, pocket watches and
chess clocks.At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the factory
was evacuated to Chistopol and concentrated its production on the war
effort. This not only included watches for military staff but also,
timers and fuses for missiles and other technical military apparatus. As
the factory was key to the military, control briefly passed to the
Ministry of Armaments.Following the war, the factory produced watches
under the names of Victory and Salute. By the 1950s, the name Slava had
been adopted. The factory also briefly produced watches under the name
START โ ะกัะฐัั-.As well as producing wrist watches, the factory was also
prolific in producingclocks, mainly alarm clocks and wall clocks. Both
watches and clocks from the factory were exported abroad, not only to
the Warsaw Pact countries but also to western countries such as the
United Kingdom, France and Germany. One of the strongest links to the
west was the production of Slava watches for the British Company
Sekonda. This relationship lasted from the 1960s until the collapse of
the USSR.The old factory building in Moscow has recently been demolished
but the Slava company continues to produce watches.๐ PERFECT FOR:
A unique gift for a grandfather, dad, or husband.
Man cave, office, or nightstand decor.
Collector of Soviet vintage (USSR memorabilia).
