Czapek & Cie The Time Jumper 18KYG | LE30 | Pre-Order

Celebrating a decade since the revival of the Maison’s name, Czapek & Cie trips back to the future with the Time Jumper, powered by the new in-house Calibre 10. A new twist on traditional guilloché decorates the futuristic form of its 40.5mm steel case and the half-hunter cover plays hide-and-seek with the time indication and the open-worked movement that drives it. Released as a limited edition of 30 pieces in 18KYG. Reimagining the pocket watches created by François Czapek in the 19th century in playful, avant garde style, the watch is centered on a jumping hour complication displaying 24 hours on two discs (a première with a patent-pending mechanism) and complemented by trailing minutes on a peripheral ring. On the half-hunter cover, a new, three dimensional guilloché pattern creates the optical illusion of a black hole, its event horizon taking the form of a loupe in the centre that reveals the open-worked complication. Flipping the cover open unveils the entire movement beneath a sapphire crystal glass.

The result is an almost literal expression of Czapek’s ‘head in the sky, feet on the ground’ style of thinking: the former translated into a retro-futuristic ‘flying saucer’ case; the latter rooted in the traditional round shape derived from historic pocket watches.
