Czapek & Cie’s Antarctique Rattrapante in silver grey, a limited edition of 77 pieces, is a perfectly positioned watch that combines a sporty look with grand complication sophistication.
Czapek will be showing the watch for the first time in the UK with its partner The Devoy Group at WATCHPRO Salon.
The show takes place from November 12 to 13 at the luxury Londoner Hotel on Leicester Square.
Czapek & Cie has always focused on a balance between high-end mechanics and refined aesthetics.
The Antarctique Rattrapante split-second mono-pusher chronograph, with its mechanics on show on the dial, embodies that philosophy in a sporty steel watch with integrated steel bracelet.
“The Antarctique line was released in 2020 as the epitome of sporty elegance,” says CEO Xavier de Roquemaurel. “It was calling for a complication that would amaze our aficionados.”
The limited edition Antarctique Rattrapante split-second mono-pusher chronograph uses Czapek’s SHX6 calibre created in collaboration with Chronode, in a 42.5mm case.
The focus of the movement is the tripod bridge in the centre that holds down a patented satellite minute train and the patent-pending split-second mechanism just below.
The two column wheels, one at the top (for the chronograph) and the bottom (for the split-second mechanism) divide the movement into two halves.
The mechanics are intricately decorated on the dial and reverse side of the watch, and can be seen through a sapphire case back.
It is on sale for CHF 46,000.
