“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 maker of art objects designed by the world-famous architect Václav Cigler. Prokop & Brož contributed its design and engineering skills to the project and, of course, carried out all of the watchmaking work. It is no coincidence that the dial side of the clock movement resembles the popular regulator-style wristwatches, of which the Prokop & Brož collection offers many variants. The Chronometer's construction also uses several unique solutions that proved themselves in the Hercule sports watches, developed during the same period. In fact, the name of the most prestigious Prokop & Brož sports watch line is derived 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 in the Americas, 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.
