Why we carry it

A choice we can defend in person.

Czapek earns its place through in-house movements, open case-backs and finishing done by hand, the work of a house revived in 2015 by enthusiasts honouring François Czapek, Patek's partner in 1845.

The Green Meteor brings something elemental: a dial cut from Gibeon meteorite, its natural lattice beneath polished green lacquer that shifts tone in the light, the in-house SXH5 behind. On a steel bracelet, held to a hundred pieces. For the collector who likes a dial with a deep story.

The movement · SXH5

Hand-finished, made to be serviced.

The SXH5 carries 28 jewels, 60 hours, one single barrel of power reserve, beating at 4 Hz - 28800 VpH.

Servicing is organised through us and the manufacture, and the watch comes back to your wrist — with a loaner in the meantime.

For the life of the watch

A relationship, not a transaction.

Every watch we sell stays close to us. We organise servicing, source straps, and answer the telephone ourselves — for as long as the watch is yours, and the wrist after that.

i.
Service, organised through us

When the time comes, we arrange the full service through Czapek, handle the shipping both ways, and put a loaner on your wrist while you wait.

ii.
Straps & bracelets, for life

Replacement straps and bracelets at cost, in any material the manufacture offers, fitted in person at the bench.

iii.
One person, not a call centre

You speak to Jason — for a warranty question, a service interval, or simply a second opinion — for as long as you own the watch.

iv.
A loaner while yours is away

When your watch is at service we will put another independent on your wrist, so the wrist is never empty.

Hold it once. Turn it over.

A watch makes more sense in the hand than on a screen — particularly through the sapphire back. Book a viewing at 900 West Hastings St., Vancouver and we will put a loupe in your hand.
