The exhibition celebrates the 70th anniversary of the achievement that made Czechoslovakia only the eighth country in the world capable of producing mechanical wristwatches on an industrial scale.
It commemorates the extraordinary triumph of the domestic industry, the creation of the prototype of the first Czechoslovak watch, SPARTAK, and its launch into industrial production in Nové Město nad Metují under the PRIM brand.
The successful mastery of the technologically demanding process of mechanical watch production had an impact on domestic industry that transcended the boundaries of fine mechanics and watchmaking. The exhibition is therefore not only a celebration of the milestone anniversary of the creation of the prototype of the first Czechoslovak watch and its subsequent industrial production, but also highlights the broader historical, political, and social significance of this achievement.
