Czapek & Cie, rising like a horological phoenix, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a horological masterpiece – the Time Jumper, powered by the new Calibre 10. This model doesn’t just mark time; it celebrates it in style.
The Time Jumper, one of four models celebrating this milestone, draws inspiration from the pocket watches created by Czapek’s grand figurehead, François Czapek. But this isn’t your granddad’s pocket watch. No, this watch puts on a suit and tie, and isn’t afraid to get a little playful.
At its heart is the jumping hour complication, spinning 24-hour magic on two discs – a never-before-seen spectacle, thanks to its patent-pending mechanism. Add in trailing minutes on a peripheral ring and you’ve got a showstopper.
Now, flip over the half-hunter cover to reveal the pièce de résistance – a stunning three-dimensional guilloché pattern that plays like an optical illusion of a black hole. The event horizon takes a loupe form, revealing the open-worked complication for your viewing pleasure.
This limited-edition beauty is available in both stainless steel and 3N gold. It’s making its gala debut on November 12 in Geneva, and for the fancy-footed, it awaits at the Dubai Watch Week as well.
So, here’s the bottom line – if you’re into horological art with a sprinkle of modern mischief, this could just be your ticket to timelessness. Happy birthday, Czapek!
