Czapek & Cie.
Independent by nature and collector-led by philosophy, Czapek creates watches for those who value originality over familiarity. Guided by its belief that “We Collect Rare People,” the maison brings together exceptional movement architecture, refined finishing, and contemporary design in watches that reward curiosity as much as ownership.
Antarctique — a sports watch where every element belongs.
The finest integrated-bracelet watches are not defined by a single feature, but by harmony. Case, bracelet, dial, and movement should feel conceived together, each reinforcing the next. The Antarctique achieves that balance with uncommon confidence.
Since its revival in 2015, Czapek has quietly established itself among the most respected independent watchmakers of the modern era. Rather than following convention, the maison has built its reputation through exceptional finishing, thoughtful engineering, and a willingness to let the work speak for itself.
Inside, the in-house SXH5 calibre reflects the same philosophy. A micro-rotor architecture, hand-finished bridges, flame-blued screws, and a 60-hour power reserve demonstrate a level of craftsmanship rarely encountered in a contemporary sports watch. Every visible detail serves the whole rather than drawing attention to itself.
“One of the finest integrated-bracelet sports watches being made today. We say that without hesitation.”
One reference, in five notes.
SXH5, developed in-house
The SXH5 was developed entirely in-house at Czapek & Cie. and is unique to the firm. It runs on a single barrel for 60 hours and uses a 22 k gold micro-rotor — visible through a sapphire case-back — finished with the same care as the dial side.
Organised through Geneva
Servicing on this calibre is uncomplicated. We organise it through our relationship with Czapek; the watch goes to Geneva and comes back. Expect six to eight weeks.
For the right client
We are willing to say on the record: this is the watch we put on the wrist of clients who already own a serious sports watch and have come back asking for something more carefully made.
A relationship, not a transaction
Every watch we sell is on our bench, free, for the first service interval. After that, work is organised through us, quoted at the manufacture's rate, and you talk to Jason — not a call centre — for the duration.
Seen at the bench
The dial looks one way under daylight and quite another under cabinet light. We have both. Book an hour at the bench, and we will pour you something.
Three collections.
