The Czech lands have a very long tradition in building various timekeeping devices – the famous astronomical clock on the Old Town Hall, set into operation in 1410, is still working with the original movement.
Pragotron started life as Elektrocas in 1953 and then became Pragotron in 1969. The company produced such timekeeping devices as employee time clocks or punch clocks and the clocks at railway stations and schools.
- The company still exists today in Prague
