“Essence
of personality”

This marine chronometer is a joint work of our company Prokop & Brož and the renowned glass artist Jan Frydrych. He brought to the project not only his craftsmanship and a lifetime of experience working with art glass, but also his distinctive artistic signature. His original work is known around the world, and his modern glass sculptures grace the collections of many lovers of this art form. Jan Frydrych is also known as the long-standing maker of art objects for the world-famous architect Václav Cigler. Prokop & Brož contributed its design and engineering skills to the project, as well as, of course, all the watchmaking work on the entire project. It is no coincidence that the design of the clockwork’s upper section mirrors the popular regulator-type wristwatches, of which the Prokop & Brož collection includes many variants. The construction of the Chronometer also employs several unique solutions that proved themselves in the Hercule sports watches, which were created during the same period. In fact, the name of the most prestigious line of Prokop & Brož sports watches is derived from the place where this marine chronometer was presented – Port Hercule. It was there that the Chronometer was first presented to the public, at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2014. In early December, it made its premiere on the American continent, where it was exhibited together with other art objects by Jan Frydrych at the prestigious SeaFair Miami 2014, an exhibition aimed at the most discerning clientele of collectors and lovers of modern art.
