24 Hour movements. Are there any Russian models?
I know little about Russian watches but I am learning more about them as they become a bigger player in the game. I am if any Russian movements are being built which are 24 hour models or alarm models.

Since 24 hours models have been briefly discussed, here is my little tale on alarms one..koimaster wrote:I know little about Russian watches but I am learning more about them as they become a bigger player in the game.

The 2612 is basically a typical manual wind movement with 18 jewels and an alarm mechanism tripped by the hour hand, it has its own spring barrel that is wound separately to power a hammer that in turn bangs against a stump like pin welded to the inside of the case-back.
The 4 o'clock crown is to wind the mainspring and set the time (with the understanding that the hour hand must never be turned backwards past the alarm hand) The 2 o'clock crown operates the wind and set the alarm. A coaxial hand with the hour, minute and second hands shows when the alarm will trigger, the alarm hand can only be turned counter-clockwise.
It is a low beat movement....38/40hours power reserve , shock-proof(if so fitted) in 1959 the Soviet Union's 1st Moscow Watch Factory created the 'Signal' line based on a A. Schilde movement, then improved on the original .....currently is share by other Russian makers like Aviator and models from Winsky-Poljot.
Very accurate and sturdy !!!here is a not so new picture of my 2612 fitted Poljot Dolphin...
