HISTORY
from
official site
http://eng.agatfactory.com/
The First Kirov Clock Plant was evacuated from Moscow to Zlatoust in the autumn of 1941. The installation of equipment started at the end of November. The fist production was produced on the 25th of December 1941.
This day is the date of foundation of the plant.
After the war the plant began to produce devices for peaceful needs. Fist of all the history of Zlatoust Clock Plant every decade of has been marked by development and production of new types of devices.
The 50-s years.
Special watches for blind persons were designed (the factory has been production the watches till 60-s). Curvemeters (map measures), various watches and clocks, relays for washing machines were produced.
The 60-s years.
The plant took part in the international exhibition in Montreal (in 1967). Curve tracers and relays were given the "top"-quality mark "Q" by the State Certificate Board and "the Gosstandart". The first industrial series of stopwatches were designed for measuring time intervals. They were stopwatches of the 2nd accuracy class and could summarize time intervals.
The 70-s years.
The plant began to produce timers. New models of clocks were developed during those years. One of the first soviet electronic stopwatches with numerical indexes were designed at the Zlatoust clock plant. Devices for measuring of pulse rate and breath frequency (
СДП
-70) were developed on the basis of this stopwatch.
The 80-s years.
The new model of stopwatch with shock resistance of balance and 30 minute relays were designed. The factory started production of cyclic time relays (RVTS). The new clock model (
ЧБН
-160) has been produced. This model was awarded the silver medal at the VDNH (All-Union Exhibition of Achievements National Economy in Moscow).
All the following years the plant continued to improve its production. The plant designed switchers for electric stoves and new models of time relays and clocks. The factory still are the only manufactures of mechanical stopwatches in Russia and exports them in 12 foreign Countries. The plant took part in international exhibitions and fairs. The plant was given the certificate of Russian Federation "The Leader of Russian Economy". In February of 2000 the lant was given The Golden Prize of "The Best Trade Mark" - the prize of the new millennium, and the prize "For Technique and Quality".
RECOMMENDATIONS
All Antique watches are mechanical. Many repairs will not be cheap, as most likely they will require replacement of non-standard parts (unlike most late model watches).
Antique watches should not be beaten or dropped - because repairs may be expensive.
Antique watches are generally NOT waterproof. This is because waterproofing was not in general production until the middle of the 20th century for most watches. Therefore you should protect your antique watch from exposure to moisture.
If your watch becomes wet it should be dried off quickly. Carefully open all covers and use a hair drier to blow dry the movement, dial, covers, crown. This will reduce the amount of rust.
If your watch becomes wet with any kind of salt water you should immediately immerse or spray your watch with fresh (no-salt) water to remove all the salt from the works before drying the watch completely. Any salt left in the watch will combine with moisture in the air to rust metal components of the movement, case etc.
Winding any mechanical watch tight may break the mainspring. If you can avoid it do not wind the watch hard.
When adjusting the hands of your watch, move them in a clockwise direction only. Counter-clockwise adjustments may damage the movement. It is desirable to adjust the hands of your watch at the same time every day. An automatic or self-winding watch should be worn for at least 8 hours a day. It is a mechanical watch in which the mainspring is wound automatically as a result of natural motion of the wearer's arm, to provide energy to run the watch, making manual winding unnecessary.
If you must adjust counter-clockwise make it for small adjustments only (i.e. for minutes, NOT hours).
Be careful and gentle when adjusting the movement speed (faster or slower). Don't make sharp movements, and don't touch other components in the movement especially the pendulum mechanism.
Every 2-3 years it is necessary to service and oil vintage watches. If the course of your watches is worsening and the accuracy of the reduction in the duration of the clock (autonomy) from one fully wound spring - it need a service.
IF the watch is dirty - allow the watch to run down, don't wind it again until you have it serviced by a qualified watch repair expert. Dust will absorb and remove important lubricants and cause the movement pieces to wear down.
To clean the case, dial and crystal you should use a cloth that does NOT leave fibers as these may get caught up in the movement. Check with your Watch repair expert to get an appropriate cloth.
Keep your antiques watch away from magnets. Strong magnetic fields may affect the accuracy of your watch since some vintage watches were made with iron based components in the movement.
Most Cases and Covers are fine components and will not handle abuse well. The watch should not be shaken, beaten, or stressed.
Antique watches generally experience an error of up to 5-7 minutes a day. Any accuracy of +- 5 minutes is very good.
Mechanical watch is not recommended to use for engage in extreme sports, and expose them to excessive vibration loads. Recoil force, which take on the clock, affect their reliability and precision. No matter how perfect was not anti-shock mechanism, there is always the chance of excessive load that details of the mechanism can not survive.
Watch with calendar.
It is not recommended to adjust, the date between 20.00 and 06.00, because at this time involved a mechanism for automatic adjustment date. Translation pointers calendars manually in this position arrows may damage the mechanism. Date changes should be made, relegating pre-clockwise to lower sector of the dial (for example, to position 6 (18.00) hours).
Chronograph watches.
In most cases, these watches contain the "start/stop" button and "reset" button. It is strongly recommended not to press the "reset" if the chronograph is running. Before you use the "Reset" button need to stop the chronograph by button "start/stop". Using the "reset" when running chronograph can damage the mechanism of most models of watches.
