Czapek & Cie Celebrates its 10th Anniversary with Calibre 10 and the Time Jumper. A new twist on traditional guillochage decorates its 40.5mm case and the half-hunter cover plays hide-and-seek with the time indication and the open-worked movement that drives it. 

Reimagining the pocket watches created by François Czapek in the 19th century, the watch is centred on a jumping hour complication displaying 24 hours on two discs and complemented by trailing minutes on a peripheral ring. On the half-hunter cover, a new, three dimensional guilloché pattern creates the optical illusion of a black hole, taking the form of a loupe in the centre that reveals the open-worked complication.

With the cover closed, all eyes are on the hour indication. The guilloché pattern on the case cover is an evolution of the vortex-like Singularité guilloché created for the Antarctique Tourbillon, it creates the optical illusion of curves being drawn into a deep centre. Flipping the cover open unveils the entire movement beneath a sapphire crystal glass. 

Czapek will produce only 180 pieces of Calibre 10.1 movements, to celebrate the 180th anniversary since the original founding of the maison in Geneva in 1845. The Time Jumper will be first introduced with a limited edition of 100 pieces in stainless steel and 30 pieces in 3N 18-carat gold. The rest of the calibres will be used for special projects.
