In November, the first barges with equipment and 500 workers of the evacuated Second Moscow Watch Factory arrived in the city of Chistopol. In the spring of 1942, CHCHZ began serial production of military-purpose watch devices, and by July 1 it was operating at full capacity. The enterprise was created as a numbered factory working for the needs of the front. But since February 1943 the plant began to produce peaceful products.
