Yantai Horology Research Institute Co., LTD was founded in 1975. It is my country's first special technical clock research and development base, a nationally recognized high-tech enterprise, a technology-based small and medium-sized enterprise, an innovative small and medium-sized enterprise in Shandong Province, a specialized and new small and medium-sized enterprise in Shandong Province, a Shandong Time Measurement Engineering Technology Research Center, Yantai Ethernet Ship Time Control System Engineering Research Center, and a 3A-level contract-abiding and trustworthy enterprise.
The company's original office at No. 76 Chaoyang Street, Yantai, Shandong, is the former site of Deshunxing, which witnessed the origin and development of China's modern clock industry. Polaris originated here in the 1920s. In November 2018, the company moved to No. A28, Liandong U Valley, Yantai High-tech Zone, where Yantai high-tech enterprises gather, and took a new step in leapfrog development.
The profound historical accumulation and rich cultural connotation have created the high-quality Polaris products. As a witness to the development of China's modern clock-making industry, Polaris has gone through a hundred years of ups and downs since its inception in 1915. With the inheritance and efforts of several generations of Polaris people, it has achieved brilliant achievements, won many product quality awards, and won honors such as "China Time-honored Brand".
Perfect design, production and service system and scientific management methods have given wings to the company's rapid development. Over the years, the institute has always been at the forefront of the special clock industry with its strong independent research and development capabilities, and has continuously made new achievements in technological innovation and scientific and technological progress. The intelligent series of products such as master and slave clocks, large-area time systems, urban rail transit network center clock systems, and high-speed railway passenger dedicated line time synchronization systems that use advanced automatic control technology have been independently developed by the institute. The company focuses on "intelligent time synchronization technology, ship master clocks, marine timing instruments, and clocks for large buildings" as its core products, forming seven series of timing products and targeted intelligent time synchronization system solutions for different industries, scales, and applications such as urban rail transit such as subways and high-speed railways, three-dimensional transportation networks such as ships, civil aviation, and highways, scientific investigations, electricity, nuclear power, and intelligent buildings. The technology and products of the Polaris intelligent clock system have been selected as special timing equipment for the safe and efficient operation of many key projects at home and abroad, and have been successfully applied in many subways, high-speed railways, airports, buildings, stadiums and other projects in large and medium-sized cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Nanjing, and Urumqi, as well as in Iran, Vietnam, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Congo and other countries along the "Belt and Road".
