CZAPEK | Collections - Antarctique Rattrapante: R.U.R. - Tribute to Karel Čapek

Will robots rule all our lives one day? Or will Czapek’s Rare People escape that fate? Might the answer be found in Czapek & Cie’s new Antarctique Rattrapante ‘R.U.R.’, where a robot adds a playful animation to the mechanics revealed beneath the grey-metallised sapphire dial? As the chronograph function is activated, the robot’s eyes change colour: press start, the eyes turn yellow (recalling Shrike in the movie Mortal Engines). Stop: they turn red. And on reset they turn blue. We are excited to introduce the Antarctique Rattrapante: R.U.R. - Tribute to Karel Čapek. The 77-piece Czapek Antarctique Rattrapante ‘R.U.R.’ edition will be available as of September 5th 2025 at authorised Czapek dealers worldwide, the Czapek boutique in Geneva at 18 rue de la Corraterie, and at Czapek.com.
