Czapek

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our brand’s uniqueness is crystallized by our tagline ‘We Collect Rare People’, which combines various elements that are essential in our philosophy. Notably, the ideas of ‘sharing passion’ and ‘community’ with ‘rarity’ and ‘identity’.

“We Collect Rare People”, is a play on words, a sort of oxymoron, making people ask themselves about who is collecting, what, why and whether they would like to join our ‘club’, or better, our ‘family’.

Czapek collects rare people in many ways.

First-of-all, Czapek collects rare supplying partners that provide the brand with rare savoir-faire, proud to be a piece of this exciting project.

Czapek also collects clients with a rare obsession for quality, on the quest for a unique product. In another sense, they too become partners.

Czapek collects as well few yet outstanding retail partners across the globe.

And last but not least, Czapek collects shareholders, fine watch lovers that have always dreamt of not only being customers, but owners of an haute horology venture, and their dream became true thanks to the crowdfunding equity campaign that made the revival of Czapek possible.

Antarctique

Antarctique

HAUTE HORLOGERIE SPORT CHIC

The Antarctique combines sophisticated style and look with a genuine in-house power movement bound to stake a major claim in the popular sport-chic segment.

The Antarctique is a 40.5 mm or 38.5 mm three-hander, thin enough to slip comfortably under a cuff, and with a carefully-honed, edgy look. The transparent case back reveals the model’s beating heart, the vigorous, 30-millimeter SXH5 automatic caliber, conceived internally by a multifaceted team. Special attention was given to both performance and appearance, so the movement’s parts are arranged for visual harmony and transparency.

Alternatively, the Antarctique Rattrapante in 42.5 mm., a split-second mono-pusher chronograph with a unique, dial-side mechanism, embodies the delicate balance between high-end mechanics and refined aesthetics.

TAKE A WALK ON THE STYLE SIDE

In 2015, Czapek paid powerful tribute to the creator of the original historic Maison, capturing in a wristwatch the essence of François Czapek's 19th-century genius.

Since then, by exploring other creative territories, and through other collections such as Faubourg de Cracovie, Antarctique and Place Vendôme, the Maison has forged a strong aesthetic identity – a unique signature. Its creative audacity has enabled it not only to project the original historical essence into the contemporary world, but also to build its own codes. These skills and experiences sparked the desire to create a line that would embody this evolution, this maturity. The real complexity of this collection lies in its simplicity: a chic, contemporary watch that appeals to those with a certain sense of style and an appreciation of mechanical sophistication.

Quai des Bergues

Quai des Bergues

7-DAY MANUAL WINDING

The first collection of timekeepers to herald the renaissance of Czapek & Cie is called ‘Quai des Bergues’. It is a tribute to the location where François Czapek founded the company in Geneva in 1845.

Place Vendôme

Place Vendôme

EXCEPTIONAL FINE WATCHMAKING

The Place Vendôme is a collection dedicated to exceptional watchmaking projects. From its first models, the “Tourbillon Suspendu Ici et Ailleurs” featuring a tourbillon and a second time zone indication, to the double escapement “Complicité” in collaboration with Bernhard Lederer, this line celebrates the best of fine watchmaking.

Faubourg de Cracovie

Faubourg de Cracovie

AUTOMATIC INTEGRATED CHRONOGRAPH

The Faubourg de Cracovie chronograph is the company’s third collection and was named after the location of Czapek’s third boutique, which he opened in 1850 in Warsaw, Poland. The calibre inside is also Czapek’s third, following the seven-day manually-wound movement found in the Quai des Bergues and the suspended tourbillon with GMT in the Place Vendôme, both famous locations of the late François Czapek. The Faubourg de Cracovie represents another major milestone in the company’s modern history… for the pleasure of watch lovers and collectors world-wide.
