“Essence
of personality”

This marine chronometer is a joint creation 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 fabricator of art objects for the world-famous architect Václav Cigler. Prokop & Brož contributed its design and engineering skills to the project and, naturally, carried out all the watchmaking work on it. It is no coincidence that the design of the clock movement’s superstructure echoes the popular regulator-type wristwatches, of which the Prokop & Brož collection includes many variants. The construction of the Chronometer also incorporates several unique solutions that had proven themselves in the Hercule sports watches, developed during the same period. In fact, the most prestigious line of Prokop & Brož sports watches takes its name from the place where this marine chronometer was presented: Port Hercule. It was there that the Chronometer was first shown to the public, at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2014. In early December, it made its debut on the American continent, where it was exhibited alongside 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.
