About Czapek & Cie Watches

Czapek & Cie is still one of the most significant independent watchmakers with roots dating back to the 19th century. François Czapek, a Polish immigrant and master watchmaker, was one of the co-founders of Patek, Czapek & Cie before going his own way and founding his own company in 1845. Yes, you read that correctly - he was one of the co-founders of Patek Philippe.

His watches were worn by Napoleon III, and their elegance and flawless craftsmanship earned him a prestigious position among the Parisian aristocracy. After more than a century of being forgotten, the Czapek name was revived by a group of enthusiasts who decided to continue the legacy of the master and return his work to where it belongs - at the top of horological workmanship.

Main Advantages of Czapek & Cie Watches

Czapek stays true to the spirit of classical watchmaking, where their watches honour the original 19th-century aesthetic but are not just copies of the past. Each model carries elements that refer to the historical roots of the brand, such as hand-engraved dials, characteristic small sub-dials, and cases with the right proportions that make the watches sit naturally and balanced on the wrist. Unlike many other brands, Czapek is not bound by any corporation or investors, allowing it to create watches according to its own beliefs and without compromise.
