Czapek watch case

As a watchmaking master since 1839, with the foundation of Patek, Czapek & Cie, and later of Czapek & Cie in 1845, Czapek draws inspiration from its long, rich history. Not only did its masterpieces grace the pockets of Prince Napoleon III, but Czapek also became the imperial court’s official purveyor of pocket watches in 1855. Nowadays, Czapek watches are a harmonious blend of classical and contemporary, boasting unexpected details that never fail to surprise.

 

When Czapek asked us to create their watch case, we were very proud to accept. The case body is covered in varnished Macassar ebony veneer, and the lid features the Maison’s elegant logo in gleaming metallic lettering. Its inside is lined with screen-printed faux leather.
