CZAPEK | Collections – Promenade : Presentation by Xavier de Roquemaurel

Simplicity, style, substance and joy. Czapek & Cie is delighted to introduce Promenade, a new collection that eloquently expresses these four principles. “With watches as with people, the dial – or face – reveals so much of the character on first encounter,” says de Roquemaurel, “And our choice of the watch we wear reveals a little of our soul.” Czapek’s deep respect for the rules of traditional watchmaking allows it to bend its own design rules – and so the signature of the Promenade dial is asymmetry: the designs all radiate from the small seconds dial placed at 4:30, producing a sense of dynamic tension and flowing movement. Driven, as always, by Czapek’s twin imperatives of colour and detail – with the emphasis on creating an intriguing play of light and shade as the wearer’s wrist moves – two classical dial decoration techniques – guillochage and enamel – are used in new ways. This new collection features three models: Goutte d'Eau, Guilloché Ivoire, and Guilloché Bleu Nuit. Come discover it at Watches and Wonders, April 13-15, 2024!
