Established in the late 1920s and expanding rapidly through the 1930s, it played a critical role in providing robust and dependable timepieces for the state, industry, and early military departments before the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War. Pocket watches from this era were prized possessions, engineered to meet strict quality and durability criteria under state-directed production mandates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eTimepieces dated specifically to the late 1930s are exceptionally scarce due to the heavy losses and hardships of the upcoming war years. The factory used premium equipment and skilled watchmakers to construct classic 15-jewel movements based on traditional high-grade layouts. These watches featured the distinctive \"2 ЧАС ЗАВОД\" markings on the dial, signifying their prestigious Moscow origin. Today, surviving pre-war pocket watches from 1938 are considered top-tier collector items globally, treasured for their raw historic significance, industrial aesthetics, and mechanical longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \n \u003cdiv style=\"background-color:#171717; color:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n \u003ch3 class=\"стиль2\" align=\"center\"\u003eRECOMMENDATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAll 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eAntique watches should not be beaten or dropped - because repairs may be expensive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eAntique 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eWinding any mechanical watch tight may break the mainspring. If you can avoid it do not wind the watch hard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eWhen 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eIf you must adjust counter-clockwise make it for small adjustments only (i.e. for minutes, NOT hours).\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eBe 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eEvery 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eIF 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eTo 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eKeep 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMost Cases and Covers are fine components and will not handle abuse well. The watch should not be shaken, beaten, or stressed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eAntique watches generally experience an error of up to 5-7 minutes a day. Any accuracy of +- 5 minutes is very good.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMechanical watch is not recommended to use for engage in extreme sports, and expose them to excessive vibration loads.
