Why we carry it

A choice we can defend in person.

Czapek belongs with us for finishing, in-house movements and a 2015 revival led by genuine enthusiasm for François Czapek's legacy. Its micro-rotor calibres are hand-bevelled and shown through open case-backs.

The Tourbillon Secret Alloy is the quietest of the line: a hand-turned dial in the house Secret Alloy, grey with blued markers and hands, the vortex drawing the eye into a floating Calibre 9. Domed sapphires, integrated steel bracelet. For the understated collector.

The movement · 9

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.

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.
