1764 — A Clock That Became a Symbol.

In 1764, a unique clock was placed on Prague’s Jewish Town Hall. Its Hebrew dial moved from right to left — reversing the familiar direction of time.

What began as a cultural detail became a symbol of Jewish Prague — identity, language, resilience, and presence in the heart of Europe.

Altneu transforms that symbol into a wearable form — not just a timepiece, but a continuation of a story.

A Mark of Courage — The Swedish Hat

ONLY IN 2026 EDITION

The crown of each Altneu watch bears the “Swedish Hat,” a historic emblem of the Prague Jewish community.

It commemorates the defense of the city against Swedish forces in 1648 — a symbol of courage, resilience, and recognition.

A subtle detail to most.
