Collection Quai des Bergues Hommage au grand orlogeur Czapek
10 novembre 2015. Collectionneurs et amoureux dhorlogerie dexcellence, rjouissez-vous! Francisek Czapek, horloger rput au 19me sicle, surgit de lHistoire. La collection Quai des Bergues, lui rend hommage.
Associ Antoine Norbert de Patek, un compatriote polonais galement install en Suisse, Francisek Czapek, horloger natif de Bohme en 1811, laisse dans lHistoire une trace mconnue, pourtant synonyme de prestige. Ses prcieux garde-temps sont rares, ils sont priss par la noblesse dalors, dont notamment lempereur Napolon III qui le nomme Horloger de la Cour Impriale. Ils sont encore recherchs aujourdhui par les grands collectionneurs.
170 ans aprs, le nom Czapek revit Alerts depuis la Pologne par une poigne de passionns, trois entrepreneurs, convaincus de se trouver face un monument historique, dcident dorchestrer la rsurgence du nom Czapek. Ils engagent un historien de renom et, tout en sachant que ce travail de mmoire continuera de rythmer chaque tape de leur dveloppement, retrouvent la trace de garde-temps vendus dans les ventes aux enchres. Plus leurs recherches avancent, plus leur humilit et leur dtermination grandissent. Leur premier acte fondateur sera de constituer Czapek & Cie, une socit anonyme respectueusement fidle au nom de lentit cre par Franois Czapek le 1er mai 1845.
Collection Quai des Bergues, fidle au style Czapek Frachement dpose, la marque Czapek Genve revit donc officiellement compter du 10 novembre 2015, face aux mdias invits lhorloge fleurie, deuxime symbole genevois le plus visit aprs le jet deau. Le voile est lev sur Quai des Bergues, une premire famille de six modles qui perptuent le style Czapek et sinscrivent sans quivoque dans le segment de la haute horlogerie. Car lvidence, en relisant le pass, lorlogeur, non content de matriser la science de la chronomtrie, savait donner ses garde-temps une aura esthtique particulire.
En observant la montre de poche rf. n 3430 fabrique par Franois Czapek Genve vers 1850, les trois associs, Harry Guhl, Xavier de Roquemaurel ainsi quun horloger mrite, sont fascins par llgance pure qui se dgage dindniables traits identitaires: laltier tirement des chiffres romains, la finesse dexcution des aiguilles forges, et surtout, linhabituel positionnement de deux compteurs, lun 4h30, lautre 7h30.

The Quai des Bergues collection,
A tribute to the great watchmaker Czapek Collectors and lovers of fine watchmaking can rejoice. On November 10, 2015, Francisek
Czapek, one of the great figures of nineteenth-century watchmaking, will reemerge from history. The Quai des Bergues collection pays tribute to his art. The Polish watchmaker Francisek Czapek, born in Bohemia (Czech Republic today), was an
associate of Antoine Norbert de Patek, a fellow Pole. Both men lived in Switzerland. But Czapek's name, while no longer widely known, was uttered in the most prestigious circles in its day. His prized timepieces were hard to come by and were much coveted by the nobility back then.
Napoleon III, Emperor of France, even granted him the title Horloger de la Cour Impriale (Court Watchmaker). To this day, Czapek watches are much sought after by collectors.
Czapek lives, 170 years on The revival began when three entrepreneurs in Switzerland received some intelligence from a group of passionate watch enthusiasts in Poland. They were convinced that what they had before
them was a genuine historic monument and they decided to organise the Czapek comeback. They hired a well-known historian, fully aware of the fact that the digging work would set the pace for upcoming developments. They also tracked down Czapek timekeepers that had been sold at auctions. The more they researched, the greater their sense of humility and determination
became. The first proactive step was to constitute Czapek & Cie, a limited company that respectfully took the name of the company created by Franois Czapek & Cie on May 1, 1845.
The Quai des Bergues collection, in Czapek style Freshly registered, the brand Czapek Genve is officially alive again as of November 10, 2015, when it faces the media invited
to the Flower Clock, Geneva's most visited monument after the Water Fountain. The Quai des Bergues is now officially unveiled, the first family of six models that
will perpetuate the Czapek style and will be perfectly integrated into the haute horlogerie segment.
Indeed, when scanning the past, one cannot avoid noticing that the great watchmaker not only understood the
science of chronometry, but also knew how to give his watches a very special aesthetic style.
When gazing at the pocket watch with the reference number 3430, manu-
factured by Franois Czapek in Geneva around 1850, the three associates, Harry Guhl, Xavier de Roquemaurel and
a watchmaker who prefers to remain unnamed, were fascinated by the timepiece's sheer elegance and highly identifiable lines: the classy
elongation of the Roman numerals, the slimness of the forged hands, and, above all, the unusual positioning of the two subdials,
one at 4:30, the other at 7:30.

Horizontal manufacturing and ethical transparency
The first collection is named Quai des Bergues, in memory of the spot where Franois Czapek had his workshop. The knowledge of subcontracted watchmakers converge in this piece, the way one might cite sources. To finance the project, the three company leaders found private investors.
They also sold the Czapek Design Study Chronograph to a small circle of close friends. This chronograph bears an historic caliber, the C73, which dates to 1971. This permitted them to finance research into the design, the development of a proprietary caliber of high quality, as well as the first pre-series. They then chose crowdfunding equity, a participative way of financing
projects that lets people become investors. (((3493 signes)))

(((encadr)))
Czapek Calibre SXH1 and Quai des Bergues case Chronode, the Le Locle-based company of Jean-Franois Mojon, developed the Czapek SXH1, and haute horlogerie mechanical calibre with 29 jewels. It is finely decorated and remains
aesthetically true to the 1850 original. This manually-wound movement has two barrel springs and runs at a rate of 21,600 vibrations per hour, which translates as 3 Hertz. It boasts a power
reserve of 168 hours, or seven days. The case, manufactured by LAB in La Chaux-de-Fonds, comes in rose gold or white gold, titanium, or in "XO" steel, a material that is ultra-resistant to corrosion
and has never been used in watchmaking before. For the classic models (rose or white god), a set of blued steel or forged fleur-de-lys handssweep the grand feu enamel dial, which has two typically Czapek
subdials: one that marks the small seconds, at 7:30, the other, at 4:30, that marks the power reserve and the calendar days at the same time. (((encadr)))
Czapek stakeholders The first phase of the project, including research, development of the first calibre, studies to design the case, and production of the first series, was financed by a sum of approximately
500,000 Swiss francs raised amongst friends and private investors from Poland and the Czech Republic Czapek having been from the region, of course. From now on, anyone can become an investor in Czapek & Cie thanks to crowdequity. The company founders chose Raizers, the first
European crowdinvesting platform. It favours enterprises that meet very strict eligibility criteria, innovative businesses, or ones that are growing vigorously and are led by professional teams. Czapek &Cie is headquartered in Geneva.

In the world of watchmaking, there are some historical names that are not to be denied:
Abraham Louis Breguet (https://monochrome-watches.com/category/breguet/),
Ferdinand Berthoud (https://monochrome-watches.com/review-chronometrie-ferdinand-
berthoud-fb1-chronometre-price/), Hans Wilsdorf (founder of Rolex
(https://monochrome-watches.com/category/rolex/)), Georges Daniels or Antoni Norbert
Patek (https://monochrome-watches.com/category/patek-philippe/). Talking about
Patek, he was not alone when founding the company but accompanied by a talented
watchmaker, polish like him, Franois Czapek. History made both men split careers
but Czapek continued to create timepieces and not the worst to be true. After his
death, the production didnt continue and his name remained forgotten (except for some
real, seasoned collectors). However, our beloved industry is good in revivals and here it
is: a new brand is about to be launched together with the first collection of watches that
goes with it. Please welcome the Czapek Quai des Bergues collection.
Historical background of Franois Czapek
A Pole of Czech origin (born 1811), Franciszek Czapek was born in Bohemia, and landed in
Switzerland following a major geopolitical event, the Polish November Uprising, a time he was
a soldier of the National Guard, in Warsaw. After his arrival in Geneva, Switzerland (July 1,
1832) he gallicised his name, thus becoming Franois Czapek. He started to build watches
under his name but the main turning point in his life came later. The meeting between Czapek
and Patek in 1836 was to change the lives of the two men. Both were Polish emigrants,
survivors of an insurrection that had failed and forced them to flee. Antoine Norbert de Patek
was invited by his countryman, Franois Czapek to start a career in watchmaking. Patek,
Czapek & Cie was launched on May 1, 1839. Sales and the administration of the company
were Pateks duty, while Franciszek Czapek devoted himself to watchmaking and finishing.
The partnership between Franois Czapek and Antoine Norbert de Patek lasted six years.
During that time, they sold a number of exceptional timepieces. And then, each man went his
own way. Patek associated with Adrien Philippe and created Patek, Philippe & Cie
(https://monochrome-watches.com/category/patek-philippe/). For his part, Czapek who had
already started a business venture with a certain Moreau shortly after arriving in Switzerland
founded Czapek & Cie on May 1, 1845, with a new partner, Juliusz Gruzewski.

The new Czapek & Cie was a genuine success. Czapek watches were sought after by
ColophonMonochrome Watches, founded in 2006, is
one of the defining online publications
dedicated to fine watches. Monochrome

prestigious clients. Among them surely the most powerful and influential one was the
French Emperor, Napolon III. An avid and loyal customer, he regularly sent in orders. He even
granted Franois Czapek the illustrious and extraordinary title of Horloger de la Cour
Impriale (Watchmaker to the Imperial Court). Franois Czapek kept his atelier on Quai des
Bergues and opened a boutique in Paris, on Place Vendme, and another in Warsaw. He
passed away (date unknown) and the name fell into oblivion of the general public, but not from
the seasoned collectors.
The re-birth of the name and the first collection, the Czapek Quaides Bergues
The idea of this revival come from three entrepreneurs in Switzerland, helped by a group of
passionate watch enthusiasts. They also hired a well-known historian, fully aware of the fact
that the digging work would set the pace for upcoming developments. They also tracked down
Czapek timekeepers that had been sold at auctions. The first inspiration comes from a pocket
watch bearing the reference number 3430, manufactured by Czapek & Cie in Geneva around
1850.
(https://d23x6d9cx8qezf.cloudfront.net/wp-
content/uploads/2015/11/Czapek-pocket-watch-3430.jpg)
Utilizing some features of this historical pocket watch, the new company has now the
inspiration for the first revival collection, the Czapek Quai des Bergues. Actually, the
resemblance is obvious, with a dial, hands, functions and overall design common to the two
watches, antique and modern. The new collection, the Czapek Quai des Bergues, is classical in
every ways. Well, when you bear such a name on a dial, you actually have no right to be fancy
or to go quartz. And obviously, they didnt go quartz or cheap. What we have with the Czapek
Quai des Bergues is a modern watch fully inspired by Czapek antique watches but with a
modern twist and haute horlogerie features. We cant actually talk about proper manufacture
yet (the brand is not even launched). However, to respect the name and the concept, the
owners went for a proprietary movement and sourced some of the best partners well get
back on this later.
(https://d23x6d9cx8qezf.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Czapek-Quai-des-
Bergues-pink-gold-detail.jpg)
The Czapek Quai des Bergues is thus an elegant, dress watch (in its gold editions) that also
exists in sportier editions (in steel and titanium), however with the same movement and layout.
It is just a matter of dial and case finishing. Overall, were talking about a collection based on a
single watch. The idea was to include a Czapek style that take inspiration in the antique
reference 3430. The resemblance is obvious. The gold edition features an grand feu enamel
dial (with a cooper base), with classical Roman numerals and blued or gold hands (depending
on the edition, you have the choice between blued steel arrow hands or gold lys hands). The
dial of the Czapek Quai des Bergues also uses the same display and the same indications:
hours and minutes classically displayed on the central axis, running second at 7h30 and a quite
special indicator at 4h30, that marks the power reserve and the calendar days at the same time
(it is not a real day function but as the power reserve is 7 days, it could indicate the 7 days of
the week in any case you wind the watch once a week).
(https://d23x6d9cx8qezf.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Czapek-Quai-des-
Bergues-collection.jpg)
Grand Feu enamel dial, blued steel hands, Roman numerals. Clearly, it is classicism. The case
of the Czapek Quai des Bergues measures 42,5mm and can be ordered in pink gold, in white
gold (both with enamel dial), in titanium or in a specific stainless steel (the XO). While the gold
editions are dress watches, the titanium and steel ones are sportier and come with a different
dial, but with the same movement and indications. No more roman numerals and enamel but a
white or black dial with a brushed finish and more depth, with raised sub-dials.
(https://d23x6d9cx8qezf.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Czapek-Quai-des-
Bergues-titanium-2.jpg)
Behind the dial sits an interesting movement made by Chronode (Jean-Franois Mojon). The
Czapek SXH1 calibre has a long power reserve of 7 days, thanks to 2 barrels. The finish seems
to be very pleasant, with frost / sandblasted bridges, with blued screws and polished beveled
angles. Some features, like the overall architecture as well as the double open ratchets area
also reminiscent of antique movements made by Czapek.

For the time-being, we dont have all the details about the Czapek Quai des Bergues but well
keep the best for another article, with hands-on thoughts, as the watch will be first exposed at

A Polish migr born in Bohemia, Franciszek Czapek (later renamed Franois Czapek) was a talentedwatchmaker who in 1839 established a six years partnership with fellow Pole Antoni Patek under the nameof Patek, Czapek & Cie. Czapek was head of watchmaking while Patek led the sales and the Companyoperating in Geneva. Approximately 200 watches were produced yearly.
At the end of the sixth years, the partnership came to an end and each man went his own way. Patekassociated with Adrien Philippe and created Patek, Philippe & Cie. while Czapek founded Czapek & Cie onMay 1, 1845, with a new partner, Juliusz Gruzewski.
Franois Czapek kept his atelier on Quai des Bergues, and opened a boutique in Paris, on Place Vendme,and another in Warsaw. Napoleon III, Emperor of France granted him the title Horloger de la Cour Impriale(Court Watchmaker).
After years of successes, the rm changed hands around 1869, possibly as a consequence of the illness ordeath of Czapek, whose date of death is unknown. The business continued for some period after Czapek'sdeparture but then stopped operations.
In 2011 a group of entrepreneurs and watch enthusiasts started working on the comeback of the brand andestablished Czapek & Cie, the same name of the company created by Franois Czapek & Cie in 1845.
Today the resurrected brand presents its rst collection of timepieces called Quai des Bergues, in memoryof the address where Franois Czapek had his workshop.

The new watches are directly inspired to style elements that can be found in some of the most renownedcreations of Francois Czapek: a grand feu enamel dial with elongated Roman numerals, slim forged hands,and the unusual positioning of the two subdials, one that marks the small seconds at 7:30, the other, at4:30, that marks the power reserve and the calendar days at the same time.

Beautiful but isn't it too big at 42.5 mm? I think a watch like this should have a diameter of 38/39mm, not more. Maybe I am getting old!

Czapek & Cie. Returns with the Quai des Bergues 7-DayWristwatch
A forgotten name in watchmaking who was once the partner of Patek, Czapek & Cie. hasjust been resurrected via crowdfunding, with its first wristwatch being a seven daypower reserve watch.
Franciszek Czapek, or more appropriately for Swiss watchmaking Franois Czapek, was Polewho moved to Geneva in the early 19th century. He is best known for establishing Patek,Czapek & Cie. in 1839 with fellow Pole Antoine Norbert de Patek. Czapek and Patek separatedin 1845, with Czapek finding success on his own, becoming clockmaker to Napoleon III. Hisformer partner, however, would ascend into legend as one of the founders of PatekPhilippe along with Jean Adrien Philippe. Czapek, on the other hand, was eventually forgotten,until now.
The crowdfunded revival
Czapek & Cie. has been revived by three Swiss entrepreneurs who are banking on Raizers, aFrench crowdfunding website similar to Kickstarter, to raise SFr1 million to finance the revived

company. The trio had already accumulated some SFr500,000 through selling a small run ofchronograph wristwatches powered by a basic, new old stock Valjoux 7733 chronograph calibrefrom the 1970s.
With that money Czapek & Cie. conceived the Quai des Bergues, named after the street inGeneva that runs alongside the Rhone river. Best known for the Four Seasons hotel that sitsalong it, Quai des Bergues was where Czapek had his workshop in the 19th century.
An ambitious project given the tepid state of the watch industry, the Quai des Bergueswristwatch is hand-wound with a seven day power reserve, featuring a sub-seconds as well asa power reserve indicator that doubles as a day of the week display. It's powered by amovement designed and made by Chronode, the movement specialist run by Jean-FrancoisMojon, better known for calibres in high-profile watches like the MB&F LM2 and HYT H1.

Named the SXH1, the movement is loosely inspired by an 1850 pocket watch made by Czapek.It has a frosted finish on the bridges, along with blued steel screws. The movement is looselybased on the C501 alarm movement that Chronode supplies to Harry Winston.
Beyond Chronode, Czapek & Cie. is relying on other respected names for the rest ofthe constituent parts of the watch, including Les Artisans Botiers, the case maker that's partof Parmigiani Fleurier, and dial specialist Donz Cadran, well reputed for its enamel dials.

RETURN OF A GEM - CZAPEK & CIE, A FASCINATINGNINETEENTH CENTURY WATCH COMPANY, IS BACK
Collectors and lovers of fine watchmaking can rejoice. On November 10, 2015,Francois Czapek, one of the great figures of nineteenth-centurywatchmaking, will reemerge from history. The Quai des Bergues collectionpays tribute to his art.
The Polish watchmaker Franois Czapek, born in Bohemia (Czech Republic today), was an
associate of Antoine Norbert de Patek, a fellow Pole. Both men lived in Switzerland. But Czapek's
name, while no longer widely known, was uttered in the most prestigious circles in its day. His
prized timepieces were hard to come by and were much coveted by the nobility back then.
Napoleon III, Emperor of France, even granted him the title Horloger de la Cour Impriale (Court
Watchmaker). To this day, Czapek watches are much sought after by collectors.

Czapek lives, 170 years on
The revival began when three entrepreneurs in Switzerland received some intelligence from a
group of passionate watch enthusiasts in 2013. They were convinced that what they had before
them was a genuine historic monument and they decided to organise the Czapek comeback.
They hired a well-known historian, fully aware of the fact that the digging work would set the
pace for upcoming developments. They also tracked down Czapek timekeepers that had been
sold at auctions. The more they researched, the greater their sense of humility and
determination became. The first proactive step was to constitute Czapek & Cie, a limited company
that respectfully took the name of the company created by Franois Czapek & Cie on May 1, 1845.

understood the science of chronometry, but also knew how to give his watches a very special
aesthetic style.
When gazing at the pocket watch with the reference number 3430, manu- factured by Franois
Czapek in Geneva around 1850, the three associates, Harry Guhl, Xavier de Roquemaurel and a
watchmaker who prefers to remain unnamed, were fascinated by the timepiece's sheer elegance
and highly identifiable lines: the classy elongation of the Roman numerals, the slimness of the
forged hands, and, above all, the unusual positioning of the two subdials, one at 4:30, the other
at 7:30.
Horizontal manufacturing and ethical transparency
The first collection is named Quai des Bergues, in memory of the spot where Franois Czapek had
his workshop. The knowledge of subcontracted watchmakers converge in this piece, the way one
might cite sources. To finance the project, the three company leaders found private investors.
They also sold the Czapek Design Study Chronograph to a small circle of close friends. This
chronograph bears an historic caliber, the C73, which dates to 1971. This permitted them to
finance research into the design, the development of a proprietary caliber of high quality, as well
as the first pre-series. They then chose crowdfunding equity, a participative way of financing
projects that lets people become investors.

Czapek Calibre SXH1 and Quai des Bergues case
Chronode, the Le Locle-based company of Jean-Franois Mojon, developed the Czapek SXH1,
and haute horlogerie mechanical calibre with 29 jewels. It is finely decorated and
remains aesthetically true to the 1850 original. This manually-wound movement has two barrel
springs and runs at a rate of 21,600 vibrations per hour, which translates as 3 Hertz. It boasts a
power reserve of 168 hours, or seven days. The case, manufactured by LAB in La Chaux-de-
Fonds, comes in rose gold or white gold, titanium, or in "XO" steel, a material that is ultra-
resistant to corrosion and has never been used in watchmaking before. For the classic models
(rose or white god), a set of blued steel or forged fleur-de-lys handssweep the grand feu enamel
dial, which has two typically Czapek subdials: one that marks the small seconds, at 7:30, the
other, at 4:30, that marks the reserve and the calendar days at the same time.

The first phase of the project, including research, development of the first calibre, studies to
design the case, and production of the first series, was financed by a sum of approximately
500,000 Swiss francs raised amongst friends and private investors. The objective now is to raise 1
Million Swiss Francs through a Crowd Funding Equity Campaign aimed at watch lovers. From now
on, anyone can become an investor in Czapek & Cie and contribute to its development. The
company founders chose Raizers, the first European crowdinvesting platform. It favours
enterprises that meet very strict eligibility criteria, innovative businesses, or ones that are
growing vigorously and are led by professional teams. A second platform in the UK will be
confirmed soon. Czapek &Cie is headquartered in Geneva.

!"#$%&'()$*+',"-$./$%'0- A new lease on life for the watchmaker of Napoleon III.
A resolutely avant-garde 19th century brand, Czapek is being revived by three
passionate devotees, complete with powerful technical content and an unusual
marketing concept.
170 years after the creation of Czapek & Cie, Czapek is reborn on November 10th 2015.
The enthusiasts behind this promising initiative have chosen WorldTempus to announce
todays official launch.
Fans of watchmaking history will doubtless have recognised in the name Czapek the first
associate of Patek. The two Polish exiles sought refuge in Geneva in the 1830s and
jointly created the company Patek, Czapek & Cie in 1839. The contract they signed
stipulated an initial six-year phase of cooperation, during which several hundred watches
were produced, most of them bespoke creations for various European courts. Some of
these models are indeed exhibited in the Patek Philippe Museum. In 1845, the two men
decided to go their separate ways, each with a new associate. Czapek & Cie was
founded on May 1st 1845 and proved extremely successful with a workshop in Geneva
(first on the Quai des Bergues and later at 175 Rue du Rhne), boutiques in Paris (one
of the first on the Place Vendme!) and in Warsaw, official status as watchmaker to the
court of Emperor Napoleon III, and the publication of the very first watchmaking book in
Polish. Franois Czapek unfortunately died before completing the second volume.
From historical wealth to technical accomplishment
Will Xavier de Roquemaurel (CEO) and Harry Guhl publish it with their anonymous
associate after reviving the brand? The three founders have been working on their
project since 2008, when the brand name was registered after having been previously
abandoned. Having decided to pay tribute to this exceptional watchmaker, Franois
Czapek, they drew inspiration from his 1850 twin-aperture pocket watch featuring a

forged iron hand between 4 and 5 oclock cleverly indicating both days of the week and
the 7-day power reserve, while echoing the small seconds subdial between 7 and 8
oclock.
For this contemporary version, the exclusive calibre developed by Chronode picks up the
same attributes, attractively displayed on a Grand Feu enamel dial crafted by Donz
Cadrans. Pushing the concept of horizontal production to its ultimate limits, Czapek
works with the finest artisans: Lab for the complex yet refined case, HMW Waeber for
the stylised hands and Camille Fournet for the straps, while the design work is done by
Neo-Desis, a firm known to collectors for the Tourbillon 24 secondes by Greubel Forsey
as well as Harry Winstons Opus 6 and 8 models.
QUAI DES BERGUES, N27. CZAPEK
Loyal to the spirit of the original timepiece with its elegant and authentic personality, the
result is interpreted in an initial Quai des Bergues collection (a nod to the original
workshops) composed of six models, all powered by the seven-day calibre developed
with Jean-Franois Mojon. A prestigious version in pink or white gold with a Grand Feu
enamel dial comes with a CHF 25,000 price tag; while a sportier titanium and steel
version (retailing at between nine and ten thousand francs) features a highly innovative
vinyl carbon dial: its 0.4mm wire-wound (single spool) carbon ring is as light as it is
sturdy. Supplied by the Swiss steel specialist Montanstahl, the stainless steel of the case
itself also makes an exclusive first appearance in the watch industry. And the innovation
does not stop there
Why buy the watch if you can buy the brand?
Keeping close track of the times and of their kopecks, the Czapek founders have also
adopted an original crowdfunding equity growth concept regulated by the Swiss financial
market supervisory authority (FINMA). The system enables Czapek to build up a
worldwide circle of shareholders, as well as offering collectors from around the world the
chance to acquire a stake in the capital of a brand whose destiny they will be able to
influence, as well as the possibility of acquiring watches at preferential rates. To
complement the distribution of this production slated to reach less than 1,000 timepieces
