popular watches in the soviet union, luch, vympil, zarya, they are associated with an entire era, with several generations of soviet people who... could hardly imagine their life back then without the main brand of the country, products of the luch trademark? they remain a brand today, still recognizable, are also popular and also interesting for their design and variety of models. then in the fifties and sixties. luch brand watches

confidently gained popularity not only in the country, but abroad, and this despite the fact that watch production in the bssr began from scratch. the watch industry in the republic of belarus was not typical for the country, because as we all know, the republic is well developed and has extensive experience in the industry, some kind of large mechanical engineering, and watches - what is small, are very accurate. republic as a whole began to master new, unusual production for her, and as she showed. belarus quickly became a leader in many areas.

in the showroom of the minsk watch factory at the beginning of march 1974, a closed watch was held. actions, and now our models will demonstrate how our watches are worn in everyday life. the first number we have is a pennant men's watch. ask! the elegant-looking man effectively focused attention on

the new model of the already popular brand. number two is a women's watch. beautiful girls a miniature watch with an original gold-plated bracelet, the aesthetics were pleasing to the eye. well, the third number is the highlight of our program, the luch 18:16 brand watch. please, girls. judging by the reaction, the commission liked this model. even the most prejudiced comrades nodded their heads approvingly. this is what you need. it was this model that was awarded

a gold medal and a diploma at the prestigious leipzig fair. and it was only in 1975 that watches of this model were supplied to the retail chain in...

minsk needed to build a factory for the production legend has it that the main reason for the watches is because women’s watches were not mass-produced throughout the soviet union, that is, we have such a women’s factory. the watch industry is primarily a women's production, it is perseverance, it is scrupulousness, reliability, only a woman can sit in one place for 8 hours and screw in screws, which sometimes reach a size of less than a millimeter.

there was another reason to call the minsk sentry that way. the third year is the post-war period, a large shortage of male labor and... the plant was built by women, and the same women who built the plant later worked at the same plant. in such an atmosphere of general excitement and enthusiasm. the first production of the plant began. the first watches that came off the assembly line, on december 14, 1955, were women's watches from the zarya brand, sophisticated, elegant, miniature. the model immediately became super popular in the ussr, but it was still an assembly, not our own.

independent and now closer to the shaky years we were already producing watches of our own production, a small a batch of watches on the zari mechanism, which we have already made at home, this is a rare model of watches called minsk. combined with the talent of belarusian watchmakers, the plant had convincing results already at the initial stage, and the skill of belarusian specialists allowed... to create their own models, and original ones, which immediately became popular.

the heart of the watch is the mechanism. dozens of swiss brands use the mechanism of only one manufacturer, if you know from whom you can purchase certain components, then you can create any clock. belarusians went their own way, using knowledge, experience, and available opportunities. in order not to depend on the goodwill and conscience of suppliers, we produced our own mechanisms; in order not to be dependent, we installed them in our own cases. and the watches made at the minsk sentinel did not sit on store shelves. if in 1956 almost 57 were manufactured. at the same time

, its own brand luch was born. from now on , this logo will be present on all models of the company. at the end of the fifties the minsk plant also transferred the production of men's watches to impel, which was produced by the first moscow watchmaker. development of another one has begun. unique model of flat watches, watches with this mechanism are called suits, because they are easy to hide behind a suit, shirt and jacket, they are very popular, there is such a wonderful film, sesny, and there is a shot where the pin is sitting in a field before leaving. with their employers further west. on his hand, of course, change the ray logo, but based on from the case, based on the fact that in those days only

our factory produced such watches, that he had better watches than ours. minsk sentry gained the position of a leading enterprise in the ussr. but what was the secret of success? our mechanism does not use plastic parts and they are from latania and talia. this allows the mechanism to serve for a long time, show better precision parameters, and in addition, our watches

use stones, stones are supports, slides, with the help of which we obtain these good precision parameters. recognition, the success of the minsk sentry models is the original design of the models.

a new direction for myself, developing the production of car watches. the country was considering the issue of creating its own zhiguli car. these watches will be awarded the state quality mark in 1973. they will be installed on the most popular soviet car, the lada.

in total, the plant will produce more than 200 of them. it is difficult to list all the awards that the company received in those years. recognition was a large gold medal at the international fair in bulgarian plovdev. difficult list all brands of watches produced in minsk. just by quick calculations, there are more than 1,700 different models, but all of them are recognizable, the pride of the belarusian watch industry, the pride and decoration of steel and the clock located on the building of the minsk sentinel itself, built in the early fifties,

is also original, of course, of its own production. only the length of the minute hands is 2 m. the republic began to count time using the belarusian marki luch clock. then many things were for the first time and, what is important, with good results. at the spring international fair in lepzig in 1974 , not only watches from the minsk luch factory were awarded a gold medal. the minsk refrigerator plant also took home a gold medal; it was the minsk-12 model. in principle, our brand minsk refrigerators, they were already beginning to gain authority in europe. in minsk, we also used such a device, it was called semi-automatic defrosting. previously, in

order for a single-chamber refrigerator to be removed, someone would open it there, unplug it from the network. years since minsk began produce refrigerators when, in 1962 , the first minsk-1 refrigerator rolled off the assembly line of a plant in the belarusian capital. the need for such products in the ussr was enormous. in the early sixties, only four

out of 100 soviet families had a refrigerator. in 1970-43. today, many still remember the saratov refrigerator, which was super popular in the ussr, with a small volume of only 85 liters, single-chamber, an almost inescapable dream of a soviet person, it was almost impossible to buy it, it was produced in small volumes, like the moskovsky refrigerator zil plant, but times have changed. the demand for household appliances became high, million-plus enterprises whose industries worked for consumer needs became firmly established in the life of the country.

shatila artyom igorevich is awarded a certificate of honor. in march 1971 , there was a real holiday at the minsk refrigerator plant. the millionth refrigerator rolled off the production line. the coffee tray was built into the kitchen countertop; on the left there was a cabinet for dishes and food. 1963, minsk-2. the refrigerator is already

free-standing, the model has become truly mass, 220,000 produced. history has been looking back for only a few years, and the successes are obvious, but there are new and non-standard plans ahead. solution, we released the first two-chamber refrigerator with a bottom -mounted freezer, it was a rather complex design, which, in principle, no manufacturer took on at that time, but we carried out this project and were the first in the soviet union to make this refrigerator. we manufactured the first soviet freezer, we had the first two-chamber refrigerator enterprise was developed and manufactured , the first products, of course, were of high quality, including our famous refrigerators minsk-5, minsk-6, minsk-10, minsk 11, 12, 16,

minsk 15, which were especially popular, and we very much made a lot. and it all started with a gas equipment factory. it was on its basis that the decision was made to begin construction of a new refrigerator production plant in the soviet union. the resolution of the council of ministers of the bssr from 1959 stated.

the first batch of belarusian refrigerators in minsk-1. the first 25 household refrigerators rolled off the assembly line in 1962. any product is born. ideas. the first developments, they were relevant for that period of time, that is, there were the same sixties, seventies, yes,

just like today, all those developments brought about some kind of change. the technical characteristics of subsequent models were in no way inferior to their foreign counterparts. the ussr is an evil empire, an iron curtain, and the products of the minsk refrigerator plant.

the tradition continues: the minsk refrigerator plant has never slowed down, with has been developing its potential for years. a lot of technology has been developed since the birth of the first refrigerator, and it has fundamentally changed a lot. the current refrigerator is a fairly serious technological device that provides for the whole family. let's say, food preservation, at that time only refrigerators and freezers were developed in a static system, we currently have a static system, the nafros system, nofros is forced air circulation, that is, this is a new trend of all manufacturers who provide longer storage

of food in the refrigerator. in the new models that we are still developing with wi-fi, that is, for a smart home, the company has mastered the production of new washing machine products since 2000, using functions that are not typical for many modern models. the production of a steam washing machine is underway, there are also interesting features here, this is an option for both washing machines and refrigerators, national characteristics are taken into account: the lifestyle of people and even the preferences of belarusian housewives. we have a special zone in refrigerators or freezers for freezing

dumplings, which we ourselves manually...

from the time of creation, the time of large and small achievements, even seemingly in such directions that were once not typical for the belarusian industry, such as the production of consumer goods . by the beginning of the seventies, the bssr had already exported such products to more than 100 countries.
