Czapek & Cie Quai des Bergues Sursum Corda | LE10 | Pre-Order
The limited edition Czapek & Cie Quai des Bergues Sursum Corda marks the pinnacle of Czapek's 2025 anniversary series, bringing together heritage watchmaking, grand feu craftsmanship, and the Maison’s pursuit of timeless purity. With its 18K rose-gold case and luminous white enamel dial, the watch reconnects with the ateliers of the mid 1800's, echoing the early codes that shaped François Czapek’s original creations in Geneva. Subtle Roman numerals, elegant hands, and a discreet enamel-hidden inscription add layers of symbolism, transforming this limited edition into a piece that honors both 180 years of history and a decade of revival under modern stewardship. Collectors seeking a grand feu enamel dress watch with classical proportions and poetic detail will find this model at the heart of luxury mechanical watchmaking in 2025.
Beneath its refined exterior, the Sursum Corda is powered by Czapek’s manual-winding calibre, a movement rooted in the architecture of 19th-century pocket watches and upgraded for modern haute horlogerie. Twin barrels provide a 7-day power reserve, an elegant nod to the traditional weekly winding ritual. The 40.5 mm case introduces a balanced new size within the Quai des Bergues line, harmonizing readability with contemporary wear. Thoughtful finishing, including chamfered bridges, sand-blasted textures, and a historical signature integrated into the small-seconds dial, makes this 10-piece release a highly collectible rose-gold enamel watch for connoisseurs who appreciate craftsmanship enriched by hidden stories.
