Yantar 6973 Mechanical Alarm Clock

From my collection is this Yantar mechanical alarm desktop clock.

This Yantar (meaning "amber") is of the 2002 vintage but was bought in 2012 as a NOS specimen in a box and with a manual.

The product lineup in 2002.
 

 No need to call these phones -- the factory is no more.

The particular design is marked here with a check mark.

This is an alarm clock running on a venerable caliber 6973 movement with 4 jewels -- which was in production from the 1950s right up to 2005. Some Yantar clocks went for export too, sometimes under different names, such as Corsar, etc.

It is working and I use it according to its purpose -- as an alarm clock. Pretty loud ticking too.

A bit dusty under the bell thing.

In place of a more usual button to turn off the alarm it has a lever under the bell which, when deployed, obstructs the alarm hammer stopping the signal.
