About Raketa 'Petrodvorets Watch Factory':
The first party of hours of the Rocket brand was published in 1961 [1][2]. The brand was called in honor of Gagarin's flight, however in countries of Western Europe buying and America the name was associated rather with the rocket USSR weapon.
On Petrodvorets Watch Factory the uniform mechanism for all models of hours "Rocket-2609Н" on the basis of which more than two tens modifications of hours "Rocket" were issued was created: with automatic subplant, with a calendar, with a 24-hour scale for polar explorers, anti-magnetic, for the blind.
The models "Russia", "Record", "Petrodvorets" became the first hours under the Rocket brand. Hours "Record" were the second original design, their thickness made 2,7 mm, and they remain the most flat of all, created in the USSR, and the thinnest mechanical clock in the world. In 1965 hours "Record" received a gold medal of the international Leipzig fair.
Mass production of hours of the Rocket brand began since 1964, and by 1980 the plant annually let out 4 million 600 thousand copies of hours "Rocket".
