A tourbillon that trades spectacle for structure.
The Antarctique Tourbillon is Czapek’s most complete expression of the modern sporty-chic watch, where case, bracelet, dial and movement are conceived as a single architectural idea. Since its revival in 2015, the brand has built its reputation on restraint, proportion, and a refusal to overstate complexity.
The Secret Alloy dial heightens the sense of depth beneath the Singularité guilloché, while the in-house tourbillon calibre is revealed through an open, floating architecture of bridges and gear train. Domed sapphire crystals on both sides enhance the sense of transparency, making the movement feel suspended rather than enclosed.
We carry it for collectors who already understand traditional tourbillons—and are now looking for one that feels lighter, more contemporary, and more considered in how it reveals itself.
A tourbillon calibre designed to be seen from the front, not hidden behind it.
The Calibre 9 is Czapek’s in-house tourbillon movement, developed around a simple but demanding idea: that the tourbillon, gear train and barrel should be fully visible on the dial side, aligned on a single vertical axis. This open architecture creates a sense of lightness, with each component appearing suspended rather than constructed.
The flying tourbillon sits at the lower section of the dial, visually floating above the main plate, while the central gear train is revealed beneath a long, curved bridge that reinforces the vertical structure of the movement. The barrel is positioned at the top, completing a balanced, architectural composition that emphasises clarity over concealment.
