About the collection
If you are looking for a watch that is not only associated with an important personality, but also highlights your tasteful elegance and passion for history, then the PRIM Jan Janský watch is the right choice. This watch is dedicated to a personality who left a significant mark in the history of medical science. Let’s take a closer look at what this watch has to offer and who it’s associated with.
Jan Janský
Jan Janský (1873-1921) was a Czech doctor and immunologist who made a significant contribution to the knowledge of blood groups. He was born on December 3, 1873 in Prague. He studied medicine at Charles University in Prague and received his doctorate in 1900. In 1907, Jan Janský made an important discovery concerning the classification of human blood into four different groups. Based on observations of serum reactions and blood clotting, he identified groups called A, B, AB, and O. This discovery laid the foundation for the modern blood group classification system. Janský’s discovery enabled doctors and transfusion specialists to better understand the compatibility of blood transfusions and to minimize the risk of adverse transfusion reactions.
Thanks to his work, blood type became an important factor in medicine and within transfusion medicine. Jan Janský also studied the immune system and led research in the treatment of syphilis and tuberculosis. In addition, he was known as a respected clinical physician who cared for his patients. Even though his discovery was considered revolutionary, Jan Janský remained relatively unknown in Bohemia. However, his work was later awarded and recognized by the scientific community.
About the model & pulsometer function
For the 150th anniversary, in cooperation with our designers, a chronograph equipped with a so-called pulsometric scale was created, enabling an easy approximate measurement of the heartbeat. The function of the pulse meter is very simple. After pressing the chronograph button, you need to count 15 heartbeats and then stop the chronograph. The main chronograph hand will show your current heart rate on the scale. However, this chronograph can also be used as a classic stopwatch with an accuracy of ¼ second together up to a maximum of 59 minutes 59 seconds.
During the design of our pulse meter, we emphasized the aesthetics of the model, which is characterized by a simple, classic and timeless appearance. The bi-compax layout of the chronograph is one of the elements that recalls the charm of the past times, as well as the classic leaf-shaped hands machined to a high gloss or the rounded polished bezel.
Other elements are the shaped dial and the shaped main chronograph hand equipped with a counterweight in the shape of a ring and red paint on the end or convex sapphire glass with anti-reflective treatment. The watch case was developed specifically for this model and is made of 316L stainless steel and contains both polished and ground elements.
The watch movement and the chronograph function is powered by the Japanese Myiota 6S21. It is a quartz movement with a smooth chronograph function that moves at ¼ second intervals, which is characterized by a robust construction and high reliability.
The lid of the watch, which this time we conceived in a completely unconventional way, also deserves special attention. Thanks to the combination of several applied production technologies such as forging, milling, engraving, polishing and the application of ceramic filling, we managed to create a unique spectacle from the other side of the watch. The main features are the relief embossing of four drops of blood with the designation of the four blood groups and a reference to the 150th anniversary of Jan Janský´s birth.
