WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT PRIM WRISTWATCHES „There were built many production plants during 19th and 20th century in the Czech country. Most of them were ranked among European and even World leading edge. A lot of industrial branches, unfortunatelly, came to an end during the turbulent economic changes at the end of the 20th century. But the Czech watch manufacturing tradition we carry on to this day, and I am glad about that, as the watchmaking is my domain. I am very proud that, thanks to great enthusiasm and efforts, the exacting and undoubtely exclusive production of manufacturing the mechanical wristwatch is kept in Nove Mesto nad Metuji and the valuable PRIM watch brand tradition is preserved.
