Czapek has introduced two new limited edition watches to celebrate the reopening of its Geneva boutique. The Quai des Bergues "Midnight in Geneva" features a dark blue aventurine dial in a stainless steel case, while the Place Vendôme Complicité Glacier Blue showcases an open-worked double-escapement movement in a platinum case.
- Quai des Bergues "Midnight in Geneva" is limited to 18 pieces.
- Place Vendôme Complicité Glacier Blue is limited to 10 pieces.
The Quai des Bergues "Midnight in Geneva" features a sandblasted, hollowed-out lug design and a dark blue aventurine dial with silver powder-coated steel Fleur-de-Lys hands and elongated Roman numerals.
The Quai des Bergues "Midnight in Geneva" case has hollowed-out flanks highlighted with bead-blasted interiors and polished edges, with lugs featuring a sharper, more aggressive downward slope.
The Quai des Bergues "Midnight in Geneva" has recessed sub-dials for small seconds and power reserve/weekday display, which are cut through the aventurine dial and sit on the metal base plate beneath.
The Place Vendôme Complicité Glacier Blue features two variable-inertia balance wheels oscillating in opposite directions, with differential gearing feeding into the central seconds, all displayed on an open-worked, light blue PVD treated main plate.
The Place Vendôme Complicité Glacier Blue has escapements fitted at 4:30 and 7:30, with a differential connecting them at noon, running on two sapphire bridges.
The Calibre SXH1 in the Quai des Bergues "Midnight in Geneva" contains 160 components and uses a variable-inertia balance wheel, with sandblasted bridges and main plate surfaces paired with heat-blued screws.
The Place Vendôme Complicité Glacier Blue includes hand-beveling on bridges and mainplate with 18 hand-chamfered inward angles.
The Place Vendôme Complicité Glacier Blue's movement has contemporary matte grey bridges and refined haute horlogerie finishings on the reverse side.
