Luch 1992 Travel Clock - Дорожные часы "Луч" 1992

1993 Luch Travel Clock Mechanical w Electronic Alarm

A Luch (read: Looch) travel clock from my collection.

An 1992 (1993) clock, it is a travel alarm clock.

The clock itself is mechanical and the mechanical movement trips an electronic AA battery-powered alarm, and not only that, there is also a choice of either one alarm signal or three melodies to be made by moving the two sliders on the left-hand side at the front. 

The battery compartment cover is missing, as is a small foldable support.

According to WUS sources this type of travel clock was first produced either by Swiss Nepro or the GDR's Ruhla under the brand of Sumatic.

Luch 2609 Wristwatch

Mechanical wristwatch LUCH (read: Looch) 2609, made by Minsk Watch Factory in 2001.

Bluish-greenish face.

 

And

 

Hands with what appears to be a Luch emblem also looks somewhat like Mercedes' three-legged "star".

 

 

 

 

Back and a strap which says Eurotex and Genuine leather which may be true.

 Here it is Luch' own 2609 caliber movement, marked: BY 2609 and the Luch emblem. 

 

It is a rare (-ish) movement as it went into production late and wasn't produced for a long time. It was subsequently replaced by the Chinese standard movement (2650) for some time, which incidentally was also designated 2609. And now the Luch factory has no 26 mm caliber movement in its watches, the only mechanical caliber it still has is the small cal. 1801.
