Petrodvorets
The Petrodvorets Watch Factory is the oldest factory
in Russia. Founded by Peter the Great in 1721 as the Peterhof Lapidary Works, to make
hardstone carvings.
First State Watch Factory
Founded in 1930 under orders from Stalin, the First State Watch
Factory was the first Serious Soviet watch and mechanical movement manufacturer.
The Soviet government bought the defunct Ansonia Clock Company of Brooklyn, New York in
1929, and the Dueber-Hampden Watch Company of Canton, Ohio. It moved twenty-eight freight
cars full of machinery and parts from the USA to Moscow in order to establish the factory.
Twenty-one former Dueber-Hampden watchmakers, engravers and various other technicians
helped to train the Russian workers in the art of watchmaking as part of the Soviet's
First Five-Year Plan.
The movements of very-early products were stamped
"Dueber-Hampden, Canton, Ohio, USA".
In 1935 the factory was named after the murdered Soviet official
Sergei Kirov.
As the Germans closed in on Moscow in 1941, the factory was
hurriedly evacuated to Zlatoust.
By 1943 the Germans were in retreat, and the factory moved back
to Moscow, adopting the "First Moscow Watch Factory" name.
