history of the "poljot" brand: Founded in 1930 under the orders of Joseph Stalin, the first watch factory (Russian: первый государст observes and manufacturer of mechanical and large-scale movements. Through its U.S.-based trading company Amtorg, the Soviet government purchased 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 United States to Moscow to establish the factory. Twenty-one former Dueber-Hampden watchmakers, engravers, and various other technicians helped train Russian workers in the art of watchmaking as part of the Soviet's first five-year plan. Interestingly, very early product movements were still stamped "Dueber-Hampden, Canton, Ohio, usa" (today examples of these watches are very collectible). In 1935 the factory was named after the assassination of Soviet officer Sergei Kirov.As the Germans closed in on Moscow in 1941, the factory was hurriedly evacuated to Zlatoust (Russia: злато́ common). In 1943 the Germans were in retreat and the factory returned to Moscow, adopting the name "First Moscow Watch Factory" (Russian: первый московский часов завод - 1чзчз).

In 1947 the first wristwatches under the brand name "Pobeda" and the first marine chronometers and deck watches are produced. In 1951 the production of wristwatches increases to 1.1 million. In 1975, new machinery and equipment for the production of complex watches are partially imported from Switzerland. In 1990 watch and clock production reaches 5 million pieces, and in 1991 the international award "Golden Trophy for Quality; is given in Madrid.

clocks in space:
On April 12, 1961 Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space. During his historic flight he wore a Sturmanskie pilot wristwatch (a transliteration of штурманские which actually means "navigator"). This watch was not specially commissioned for the flight, they were a standard issue for all Air Force pilots at that time. However, the success of the mission led to the factory being given the name PoIljot (Russian: полет) in 1964.In 1965 cosmonaut Alexei Leonov wore a strela fmwf (transliteration of стрела, which actually means "arrow" chronograph) during his historic first spacewalk, thus cementing Poljot's place in space history. As with Gagarin's first flight, Leonov's watch was not accumulated. The Strela replaced the shturmanskie as the standard pilot's watch. In the late 1970s, the Strela itself was replaced by a new generation of chronographs based on the (then new) 3133 movement (an original Russian movement similar in functionality to the Swiss Valjoux 7734, but with a higher number of jewels 23 vs. 17 and lever Movement operating at 21,600 bph vs. 18,000 bph). Poljot 3133-based watches continued where their predecessors left off and were carried into space by cosmonauts from Russia, France, Germany and Ukraine. On the wrist of cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov, a Poljot 3133-based watch set a space record for the longest space flight in history
