A choice we can defend in person.
We carry Czapek for reasons that hold up: in-house micro-rotor calibres, open case-backs and serious hand-finishing. The house was revived in 2015 by enthusiasts loyal to François Czapek, Patek's partner in 1845.
The Tourbillon Glacier Blue floats its Calibre 9 on a single vertical axis against the Singularité guilloché dial, the vortex turning in a glacial blue with blued markers. Domed sapphires suggest a bezel-free case; the steel bracelet grounds it. Poised and contemporary.
Hand-finished, made to be serviced.
The 9 carries 20 jewels, 72 hours of power reserve, beating at 3 Hz.
Servicing is organised through us and the manufacture, and the watch comes back to your wrist — with a loaner in the meantime.

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.
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.
Replacement straps and bracelets at cost, in any material the manufacture offers, fitted in person at the bench.
You speak to Jason — for a warranty question, a service interval, or simply a second opinion — for as long as you own the watch.
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.
