Today, I’m restoring a Soviet era alarm watch I picked up on eBay. The watch isn't running at all and the case is in rough shape. I intend to fully service the movement and restore the case by reshaping and replating it. I also demonstrate how this mechanical alarm watch works, and touch on a bit of the rich history of the Poljot brand of the First Moscow Watch Factory that was founded under order from Joseph Stalin.
The watch houses a 2612.1 caliber movement, which is a direct copy of the AS1475.
If you're looking for an incredible watch repair or antique restoration project, be sure to check out my video! I'll show you how to fix this vintage watch and get it back to working order.

Lovely job Chris and thanks for giving Soviet horology a fair shake. To everyone else out there in RU-vid land, I’m the Jake described at the end of the video. Going into watchmaking school is a real trip, and Soviet watches were my entrance to it. I suspect these pieces that not only tell the time, but of time itself were the entry for a great many new watchmakers too.

Hi Chris, it's Chris here 😉 in 1989, when I was 9 yo, my uncle gave me the same watch. I scratch glass the same way like Yours. Few years ago I gave this watch to watchmaker in Racibórz in Poland, to repair it and the watch disapired. That man closed his workshop and i lost my watch. Maybe You bought it in Poland 😉 Greats and take care. Chris.

Hobby watchmaker here and I got started working on old Slava 2428 automatic movements. I'd buy water damaged and gutted ones for pennies on eBay and make complete working movements from the parts. I learned so much and as a result I have a few really nice and quite rare Slava watches.

Soviet watches in my view made the absolute best of their humble materials. Inexpensive, but not cheap. Absolutely remarkable considering that the Soviet watchmaking industry had mere decades instead of the centuries that Western watchmaking nations had.
@alesiaaisela2653

I personally love working on soviet watches. They really were used to death and not really taken care of, but will give you good results with a bit of TLC. The finishing always leaves something to be desired but that doesn't really make a watch work better or worse, just more machine time that the factories didn't want to spend. If you get a chance, I'd recommend snagging some Zarya women's watches as they tend to slip under the radar. They did good work and even had a 15mm movement with a seconds hand, as well as a family of 20mm movements that built on each other all the way up to a 30 jewel automatic with date.
@jakekaywell5972

I think Chris has plenty of Soviet watches, given the lot I donated to him shown at the end of the video. I agree with you though. Shame I didn’t have a Zaria womens watch to donate. I did have a men’s Zaria though with the caliber 2009 in it. If he ever gets around to that donation, I think the Luch 1816 I included would be an interesting one. Automatic, actually in a women’s watch, and pretty much the only mechanical caliber family the Minsk Watch Factory ever produced itself vs building another Soviet factory’s design.

Very nice work on the watch! There are plenty of ways moisture can get in on these alarm watches. My 2612 had rust on the lid for the alarm. The lid was stuck to the dial and the dial foot screw was also rusted in place. I had to pry it off and the dial foot broke off. Everything worked on this watch. I was just doing a service on it. Good thing I disassembled it. I am going to try alum to dissolve the foot screw once I get it all apart.

Great job! Soviet watches are a fascinating niche, I have been collecting them almost exclusively for the last few years, and cut my watchmaking teeth with them as well… my favorite Soviet movements to work on are the poljot 3017 and 3133 chronographs, but that automatic Slava in the center of your collection shot (the 2427) is a very nice one as well. Hope you consider making a video on that one!

@jakekaywell5972
@jakekaywell5972 8 дней назад
I'd say while copies, liscenced or not definitely existed in a good quanitity with Soviet horology (ex. this alarm movement, Zvezda 1802, Molnija ChK-6, etc.), there was still more home-grown movement designs than not. The Poljot, Raketa, and Vostok 2209s as well as the Slava 2414 family are all good examples of this. I'd be curious as to what your grandpa's automatic from the FMWF could be more specifically.

A bit surprised that you don't use an optical microscope. I had a digital microscope soon after starting this hobby. I found it of limited utility, basically for inspection. Couldn't work under it, even though there was adequate space. Looking at what I was doing on a monitor is harder for me to coordinate. Then I got an optical microscope. Huge difference. I can work under it and it makes servicing so much easier.

honestly these (and marshal at wrist watch revival) videos have inspired me to make a time keeping device in a game i enjoy so far i have an escapement that needs some beter adjustment the design of the clock is going to be similar to a grandfather clock or something the like. or heck maybe a actual clock tower with a key difference being that it will have a seconds hand. wheather it will have all the hands on the same axis, im unsure, i think i might just be able to figure out a system to get 2 on the same axis, a third is unknown on the first attempt the escapement has a irregular swing, but time between ticks is 1.179~ seconds, not bad for a untuned pendulum, but the irregularity is about a quarter of a block..... so maybe 5~ cm or something like that on the "left" half of the fork, escapement turns clockwise and it does infact make a tick noise every time the right fork half gets hit by the escape wheel, and goes a full 10 cm's on the pendulum scale i made to see what exactily its doing, (guess it would be aplitude scale?) so, i got some strange geometry going on with it, the left fork half is half a block shorter than the right, i dont have proper clearance, maybe the escapement teeth are not at the right angle? now im working on a power system, something to give me more stable power that isnt a block of gold at the end of some gears, something thatll give more run time. long rack of teeth and a weight should do the trick i think and with some noclipped parts i was able to get a 3 hands on 1 axis face! mint so now i have a pendulum, a kinetic batery and a part of a clock face.... the hands at least. so now i need to figure out how to get that escapement system tuned up properly, and letting the pendulum swing properly, and get it to swing on a proper interval, probably 1 or 2 seconds if i can preferably i would want it to complete a swing cycle every 2 seconds or 1, makes it super easy to figure out the gearing thats something i need to figure out by working backwards, regardless, i can tune it for either case. what i need to do is change the fork and escapement wheel geometry a tad bit

I had considered this opportunity myself, but ultimately went with the other Dallas-based watchmaking school (run by the Richemont Group) even without a $1800/month stipend for two reasons: 1. The standard that Rolex uses for its watchmaking students, SATA, is recognized by Rolex and only Rolex. The Richemont Group school, in contrast, adheres to the internationally-recognized WOSTEP standard. 2. Upon graduation from the Rolex course, you would be sent out where they tell you to to an AD. In other words, not directly for Rolex. Upon my (hopeful) graduation from the WOSTEP program at Richemont, I’ll work directly for Richemont at the Richemont Technical Center for a minimum term of 3 years.

Now I remember. I sat at a café, whining about that there should be 24 hour watches because I needed one to keep better track of my life. My friend (who where a budding journalist with special interest Sovjet/Russia) informed that these things exists in Russia and are called submarine watches. So I asked him to get one the next time he would go there

I didn’t. All I did was drill them out though to make the holes large enough to use any of the arbors in the set

@@brianwohlleben3182 I found if I use a big enough arbor the hook works. The issue is using a smaller arbor the spring doesn’t find it easily
