We all remember how during the Soviet era, all the republics waited with bated breath for the chimes to strike on New Year's Eve. Today, these clocks strike time exclusively for Russia, however, this does not deprive them of their special magic and attractiveness.
The Kremlin Tower (also called Spasskaya), on which this clock is installed, was built back in 1491. In 1625 it was modernized - it was then that the clock device was installed on the tower. In 1626, the clock was destroyed due to a fire, so a similar one had to be built. In 1706 the clock was again replaced with new ones. This time they were brought personally by Peter the Great. However, they were also damaged due to the fire.
The dial was last replaced in the last century after it was hit by a shell in 1917. Few people know, but initially the tower was called Frolovskaya, since its creator (Italian Pietro Antonio Solari) chose the name for his structure based on the nearby church of Frol and Laurus. Only in 1658 was it decided to rename the tower Spasskaya. This was recorded in the royal decree, and the basis for the renaming was the location of the icon of the Savior Not Made by Hands above the gate.
Today, absolute time accuracy is achieved by connecting watches to reference clocks. For this purpose, a special cable is laid underground.
Chimes are capable of playing a variety of melodies. Until 1932, “The Internationale” was played every day at lunch; today the main tune is the anthem of the Russian Federation.
Access to the dial itself is limited to a limited number of people. At the same time, there is no elevator in the tower; you have to climb an ancient spiral staircase. The length of each of the arrows is 3 meters, and the size of all kinds of gears and wheels exceeds human height. The total weight of the structure exceeds 25 tons.
The mobile device has many useful functionalities. Among them is the display of the exact time and date. But there are situations when a cell phone displays unreliable data. This can happen when you fly or move to another city or country, and your internal clock has not changed automatically. In this article we will find out how you can check the time on Megafon.

Modern smartphones can set the time and date correctly according to the SIM card settings, for this you need: On Tele 2 there is also no separate additional option that allows you to get the necessary information about the current time, so you will need to call the operator .

Especially for our readers, we conducted a little research and identified all the available ways to check the time on MegaFon. Some methods are quite exotic and labor-intensive, but workable
. With the help of the information received, you can always find out what time it is and adjust your wristwatch and the clock in your mobile phone.
Indicating the exact time on a mobile phone or wristwatch will allow you to:
- Don’t oversleep on your way to work - imagine what will happen if your wrist chronometer goes half an hour ahead (or back, which means you have to get up early);
- Don’t be late for a train or plane - the consequences of such a delay can be very serious;
- Don’t be late for the start of your favorite series - if the time suddenly goes wrong, instead of the start of the next episode you will see the final credits, or vice versa, you will have to wait another half hour for the start of the premiere.
Let's see how to find out the time on MegaFon. And our first tool will be a specialized service - it’s paid, but it’s accurate. MegaFon cannot be called the most popular. We can safely say that a limited number of subscribers are familiar with it. Nevertheless, it allows us to completely and even more than solve our problem.
on MegaFon allows you to:
- Check the current time (Moscow time) accurate to the second;
- Clarify today's date (suddenly you are lost not only in time, but also in the calendar);
- Finding out your phone number is for the most forgetful people who forget everything.
In order to find out the exact time on MegaFon, you need to dial the USSD command *155# or *122#. After a few seconds, you will receive all the necessary data. The cost of one request is 9.99 rubles
.
Please note that the answer may be received with a delay of several seconds, so there is no need to count on the most accurate time - this is not an atomic clock or inaccurate Moscow time on Mayak radio.
How to find out the exact time in your smartphone settings
If you own a smartphone, then you don’t have to call the number to get information about the exact time. The exact hour and minute can be found by accessing the settings of your mobile device.
Someone may be wondering how to find out the exact time if all settings are entered manually. The answer is very simple - the settings of any modern smartphone have an automatic time detection function. It allows you to find out the hour and minute, regardless of what city or time zone a person is in.
To receive up-to-date information you need:
- Open your smartphone settings.
- Select "Date and Time".
- Activate the “Automatic date and time” item.
The menu item names may vary depending on the brand and model of your device.
Once the suggested actions are completed, the smartphone will show the exact hour and minute according to your time zone. But sometimes malfunctions may occur when this function operates, so it is important to know additional methods for determining time.
Moscow exact time service (100)
Human passions are boiling around, Everyone is not happy with fate: Some need a crown of power, Others need wealth and success. And I live like a free wind, That strokes the blue sky And without a lucky ticket - I am happy that I live! If nothing else helps, finally read the instructions. Create an even more understandable interface and the world will create an even dumber user. British scientists have proven: 95% of the world's population are idiots. I once called this service, but didn’t notice the time difference. Is this phone “100” only in Moscow?
Who came up with the exact time?
Man has invented many mechanisms to measure time.
In ancient times, people measured time at sunrises and sunsets, and paid attention to the increase or decrease in the shadows of objects throughout the day. Thanks to this, people could approximately navigate in time. The role of a huge clock was played by the stars. It has been observed that different stars are visible in the sky at different times of the night. The ancient Egyptians, as a result of observing the stars, divided the night into twelve intervals. At the same time, they were guided by the moments of appearance of each of the twelve stars. We can conclude that the division of the day into twenty-four hours originated precisely from the division of the night by the Egyptians into twelve time intervals.
Shadow or sundials were also created by the Egyptians. It was a simple board with marks, which became the first prototype of a device for measuring time. To measure time they also used water and fire.
The first hourglass appeared two thousand years ago. But the first mechanical watches were invented more than one thousand four hundred years ago. Attached to the mechanism of this watch was a reel with a chain, at the end of which there was a weight. Thanks to the load, the coil rotated, and the chain unwinded. Using a regulator and a series of gears, the arrow moved across the dial.
For centuries, the smallest division of time was the hour. In 1860, one of the London watchmakers managed to make a watch that showed not only minutes and hours, but also seconds.
SIM card service menu
The service can be used using the SIM card menu ; to do this, you need to go to the phone menu and find the card icon. Select "Other" and go to "Help". Next, click on “Local Time”.
After a few seconds, you should receive a message on your phone with the necessary information.
Did you know ? The MegaFon company was created in 1994, but mobile communications were carried out only in the Leningrad region. Gaining popularity, MegaFon quickly spread to other areas, and in 1997 the number of subscribers already exceeded 100 thousand people, and now there are as many as 77 million!
