plants was evacuated to a little town Chistopol located
on the Kama River in the central region of Russia. All manner
of Defence equipment was made at the factory during the
war years. As soon as the war was over, however, they started
to make mechanical wristwatches - the main production ever
since. In 1965, the factory became an official supplier
of the Soviet Union Department of Defence. This year marks
