IHOR PRIYMAK
My watchmaking story began in childhood, when my grandfather gave me a pocket watch. At the time it seemed like nothing more than a beautiful antique object, so I carefully tucked it away in a drawer and forgot about it for years. Time passed, and my passion for engineering led me to the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Liberec. It was there that I discovered the subject of machine components and immersed myself in a world of precision, engineering artistry, and the history of technology.
I have always been drawn to things that carry a story, objects that hold the memory of generations. One day I rediscovered my grandfather's watch, and that moment became a turning point in my life. Together with a friend who shared my enthusiasm for the art of watchmaking, we created our first project and laid the foundations of a watchmaking atelier, Atelièr Pryimak.
At Atelièr Pryimak we believe that true watchmaking art is never born of mass production. It comes slowly, in the hands of people who honour history, detail, and honest craft.
Every watch that passes through our atelier carries its own story. We work with authentic antique Swiss movements from renowned manufactures such as Vacheron & Constantin, Patek Philippe, Rolex, IWC and Omega, and give them new life through artistic handwork.
Our work unites historical heritage with modern atelier craft. Hand skeletonisation, engraving, enamel dials, case making, and the final decoration are all created with the utmost attention to detail, originality, and the character of each individual piece. We do not merely make watches; we create collector's artefacts with a soul and lasting value.
Every model from Atelièr Pryimak is an original, born not in a factory but from hundreds of hours of precise handwork by watchmakers, engravers, and artisans. We find inspiration in history, architecture, astronomy, our national cultural heritage, and real human stories, which are then reflected in the very design of the watch.
Our watches are not merely instruments for measuring time. They are a symbol of individuality, artistic craft, and respect for history.
Thank you for your interest in our work. We invite you into the world of Atelièr Pryimak, a world where antique watchmaking becomes timeless art.

or written notice.
Returned watches must be:
● in their original condition
● showing no signs of use
● in the original packaging
● including all documents and accessories.
The customer is responsible for the costs of returning the goods.
The seller will refund the received funds within 14 days of withdrawal from the contract,

● the customer covers any applicable customs duties

Characteristics of vintage watches
Some watches may contain vintage movements or historical components.
These watches may bear natural signs of age consistent with the period of their creation. These characteristics
are not a product defect, but part of the historical and collector value of the timepiece.
With vintage movements it is equally normal that:
● the sound of the movement may be more audible
● accuracy may differ from that of modern quartz or modern mechanical
watches.
Atelièr Pryimak services, tests, and checks the functionality of each watch before dispatch.

Watch Characteristics
WATCH CHARACTERISTICS
Information for the Customer
Atelièr Pryimak
Atelièr Pryimak watches are not ordinary mass-produced goods. They are created in a small watchmaking
atelier in Liberec, and every piece is the result of individual work by watchmakers and artisan craftspeople.
Our watches frequently combine historical horology with modern handcraft. Many projects
incorporate vintage mechanical movements that have been carefully restored, serviced, and returned to operation.
The uniqueness of each piece
Every Atelièr Pryimak watch is a unique project. During production, techniques such as the following may be employed:
● hand engraving
● enamelling
● restoration work
● modification of vintage movements
● manufacture of individual components.
As a result of handcraft production, individual pieces may differ slightly in fine details. These differences are not
a product defect, but a natural consequence of artisanal work and confirmation of the originality of each piece.
Historical components
Some watches may contain vintage movements or historical components.
These components may bear natural signs of age consistent with the period of their creation. Such
patina is not a product defect, but part of the historical character of the watch.
Accuracy of mechanical watches
Mechanical watches, particularly those containing vintage movements, may exhibit a variation in rate consistent with the nature of a mechanical device.
A minor daily rate deviation is normal in mechanical watches and does not constitute a manufacturing defect.
Accuracy may be affected by factors such as:
● the manner of wearing
● the position of the watch during the day and night
● ambient temperature
● the construction and age of the movement.
Water resistance
Unless explicitly stated otherwise for a specific model, the watch is not intended for contact with
water.
Vintage watches and watches containing historical components are generally not water-resistant.
Contact with water or moisture may cause damage to the movement.
The atelier's philosophy
Every Atelièr Pryimak watch is created as a unique project that unites historical
horology with contemporary handcrafted artistry.

Watch care
WATCH CARE
Atelièr Pryimak
Congratulations!
You are now the owner of a unique mechanical watch created at Atelièr Pryimak.
To ensure your watch serves you reliably for many years, we recommend following the guidelines below.
Initial start-up
After receiving the watch, we recommend leaving it to rest for several hours at normal room
temperature (approximately 4–5 hours) to stabilise after transit.
Daily winding
Mechanical watches should ideally be wound approximately once a day, at the same time each day.
Turn the crown slowly and smoothly. Stop winding when you feel natural resistance.
Do not overwind the watch, as this may damage the mainspring.
Position during the night
If you do not wear the watch at night, we recommend storing it in a horizontal position with the dial facing up.
Setting the time
When setting the time, always turn the hands in the clockwise direction only.
Turning the hands counter-clockwise may damage certain vintage movements.
"Nail-Set" system
On some vintage models of the "Nail-Set" type, the time is set using a small push-piece.
In that case:
1. do not pull out the crown
2. press the small button on the case
3. set the time by turning the crown.
Always set the hands in the clockwise direction.
Protecting the watch
For long watch life we recommend:
● protecting the watch from impacts and drops
● avoiding strong vibrations and shocks
● protecting the watch from magnetic fields
● not exposing the watch to moisture or water (unless marked as water-resistant)
● avoiding contact with chemical substances
● not exposing the watch to sudden temperature changes.
Watch servicing
Like any mechanical device, mechanical watches require regular maintenance.
We recommend having the watch professionally serviced approximately every 3–5 years to maintain correct movement function.
Should you have any questions or require servicing, please do not hesitate to contact us.
