HAINZ, THE CLOCK AND PRAGUE. SOUNDBITES OF MARIANA NESNÍDALOVÁ, DIRECTOR OF L. HAINZ. Translation:"It's a great responsibility. It's the most important historic site in our country in terms of technology. It's an honour. Our family has been looking after this site for a long time, and I think it's good.
