Overview

The official website of AGAT Watch Factory presents the company as operating in the world of precision mechanics, offering products such as wristwatches, stopwatches, map measures, time relays, switchers, and others. The 'About us' page details the history of the Zlatoust Watch Factory (ZWF), which was evacuated from Moscow to the Urals during World War II and continued producing timepieces under the new name. The factory has been involved in precision mechanics since its early days, producing special-purpose items like grenade fuse tubes, and later entered mass production of timer relays and precise mechanical stopwatches.

History

The Zlatoust Watch Factory (ZWF) has a history that may be traced to the winter of 1941, when it manufactured and shipped its first batch of products to the front, or to the spring of 1930, when the first Soviet watch factory came into operation. The First State Watch Factory was evacuated from Moscow to the Urals, and the People's Commissariat of Mortar Armament decided not to return it to the capital, continuing production under the new name of the Zlatoust Watch Factory. The factory has been working in precision mechanics since its early days, producing special-purpose items such as grenade fuse tubes. After the war, it entered mass production of timer relays, and since the 1950s it has been known for its precise mechanical stopwatches. The factory also collaborated with the Zlatoust Machine-Building Plant, producing power selector switches for electric stoves.
