Collection Quai des Bergues

Hommage au grand orlogeur Czapek 10 novembre 2015. Collectionneurs et amoureux d’horlogerie d’excellence, réjouissez-vous! Francisek Czapek, horloger réputé au 19ème siècle, surgit de l’Histoire. La collection Quai des Bergues, lui rend hommage. Associé à Antoine Norbert de Patek, un compatriote polonais également installé en Suisse, Francisek Czapek, horloger natif de Bohême en 1811, laisse dans l’Histoire une trace méconnue, pourtant synonyme de prestige. Ses précieux garde-temps sont rares, ils sont prisés par la noblesse d’alors, dont notamment l’empereur Napoléon III qui le nomme Horloger de la Cour Impériale. Ils sont encore recherchés aujourd’hui par les grands collectionneurs. 170 ans après, le nom Czapek revit Alertés depuis la Pologne par une poignée de passionnés, trois entrepreneurs, convaincus de se trouver face à un monument historique, décident d’orchestrer la résurgence du nom Czapek. Ils engagent un historien de renom et, tout en sachant que ce travail de mémoire continuera de rythmer chaque étape de leur développement, retrouvent la trace de garde-temps vendus dans les ventes aux enchères. Plus leurs recherches avancent, plus leur humilité et leur détermination grandissent. Leur premier acte fondateur sera de constituer Czapek & Cie, une société anonyme respectueusement fidèle au nom de l’entité créée par François Czapek le 1er mai 1845. Collection Quai des Bergues, fidèle au style Czapek Fraîchement déposée, la marque Czapek Genève revit donc officiellement à compter du 10 novembre 2015, face aux médias invités à l’horloge fleurie, deuxième symbole genevois le plus visité après le jet d’eau. Le voile est levé sur Quai des Bergues, une première famille de six modèles qui perpétuent le style Czapek et s’inscrivent sans équivoque dans le segment de la haute horlogerie. Car à l’évidence, en relisant le passé, l’orlogeur, non content de maîtriser la science de la chronométrie, savait donner à ses garde-temps une aura esthétique particulière. En observant la montre de poche réf. n° 3430 fabriquée par François Czapek à Genève vers 1850, les trois associés, Harry Guhl, Xavier de Roquemaurel ainsi qu’un horloger émérite, sont fascinés par l’élégance pure qui se dégage d’indéniables traits identitaires: l’altier étirement des chiffres romains, la finesse d’exécution des aiguilles forgées, et surtout, l’inhabituel positionnement de deux compteurs, l’un à 4h30, l’autre à 7h30.

Communiqué de presse

Manufacture horizontale et transparence éthique En souvenir du lieu où se trouvait l’Atelier de François Czapek, la première collection a été baptisée Quai des Bergues. Elle met en résonance, sur le mode de la citation des sources, les savoirs horlogers de cotraitants réputés. Côté financement, outre la récolte d’un montant en provenance d’investisseurs privés, ils ont commencé par vendre à leurs cercles d’intimes le Czapek Design Study Chronograph, un chronographe habité par un calibre historique, le C73 datant de 1971. Ils ont ainsi financé la recherche du design, le développement d’un calibre propriétaire de haute facture ainsi que les premières préséries. Puis, ils ont opté pour le crowd funding equity. un mode de financement participatif qui permet aux acquéreurs de devenir actionnaires. (((3’251 signes)))

Calibre Czapek SXH1 et boîte Quai des Bergues Chronode au Locle, la société de Jean-François Mojon, développe le Czapek SXH1, un calibre mécanique 29 rubis de haute horlogerie, finement décoré, esthétiquement fidèle à l’original de 1850. Ce mouvement à remontage manuel doté de deux barillets, vibre à 21'000 alternances par heure, soit une fréquence de 3 Hertz. Il affiche une réserve de marche de 7 jours soit 168 heures. La boîte d’un diamètre de 42,5 mm, fabriquée chez LAB à La Chaux-de-Fonds, est en or rose ou blanc, en titane ou en acier XO, un matériau ultra résistant à la corrosion jamais encore utilisé en horlogerie. Pour les versions classiques (or rose ou blanc), les aiguilles bleuies ou forgées à fleur de lys balaient un cadran émail grand feu sur lequel les deux compteurs propres à la personnalité de Czapek indiquent tantôt la petite seconde, à 7h30, tantôt la réserve de marche couplée aux jours calendaires, à 4h30. (((encadré)))

L’actionnariat de Czapek L’apport d’environ CHF 500'000 récoltés auprès d’amis et d’investisseurs privés permet le financement des premières phases (recherche et développement du calibre, étude design de la boîte ainsi que mise en production des premières séries). L’objectif que la compagnie affiche aujourd’hui est de lever 1 million de francs suisses par le biais d’une campagne de Crowd Funding Equity. Désormais chaque investisseur peut devenir actionnaire de Czapek & Cie et participer à son développement. Raizers, première plateforme européenne de crowdinvesting a été choisie. Elle privilégie des entreprises qui répondent à des critères stricts d’éligibilité, des sociétés innovantes ou en forte croissance dirigée par une équipe compétente. Le siège de Czapek & Cie est à Genève.

Press Release

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 Impériale (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 François Czapek & Cie on May 1, 1845. The Quai des Bergues collection, in Czapek style Freshly registered, the brand Czapek Genève 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, manufactured by François 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.

Press Release

Horizontal manufacturing and ethical transparency The first collection is named Quai des Bergues, in memory of the spot where François 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. (((3’493 signes))) www.czapek.ch

(((encadré))) Czapek Calibre SXH1 and Quai des Bergues case Chronode, the Le Locle-based company of Jean-François 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. (((encadré))) 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. Download press kit 2015 and high-resolution images http://bit.ly/1kvxWD0

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-ferdinandberthoud-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, François 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 didn’t 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 François 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 François 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, François Czapek to start a career in watchmaking. Patek, Czapek & Cie was launched on May 1, 1839. Sales and the administration of the company were Patek’s duty, while Franciszek Czapek devoted himself to watchmaking and finishing. The partnership between François 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.

prestigious clients. Among them – surely the most powerful and influential one – was the French Emperor, Napoléon III. An avid and loyal customer, he regularly sent in orders. He even granted François Czapek the illustrious and extraordinary title of “Horloger de la Cour Impériale” (Watchmaker to the Imperial Court). François Czapek kept his atelier on Quai des Bergues and opened a boutique in Paris, on Place Vendôme, 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 Quai des 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/wpcontent/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 didn’t 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 can’t 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 – we’ll get back on this later. (https://d23x6d9cx8qezf.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Czapek-Quai-desBergues-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, we’re 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-desBergues-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-desBergues-titanium-2.jpg) Behind the dial sits an interesting movement made by Chronode (Jean-François 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. (https://d23x6d9cx8qezf.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Czapek-Quai-desBergues-Movement-1.jpg) For the time-being, we don’t have all the details about the Czapek Quai des Bergues but we’ll keep the best for another article, with hands-on thoughts, as the watch will be first exposed at Salon QP this weekend. For the time being here is the price list: Rose gold, fleur de lys hands : 26,300 Euro Rose gold, blued steel hands : 24,300 Euro White gold : 24,900 Euro Titanium 14,900 Euro Steel, black dial : 9,950 Euro Steel, white dial : 9,950 Euro More to come soon. czapek.com (http://czapek.com).

Czapek & Cie, le retour d'une fascinante société horlogère suisse du dix-neuvième siècle GENÈVE, November 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -L'industrie horlogère suisse est sur le point d'accueillir une nouvelle marque exaltante au nom vénérable. Czapek, une marque horlogère qui a connu un succès considérable au dix-neuvième siècle, a été relancée avec une montre distinctive et une stratégie de partage innovante afin d'attirer les amoureux de l'horlogerie. Pour consulter la version multimédia de ce communiqué de presse, veuillez cliquer sur le lien suivant : http://www.multivu.com/players/uk/7684451-czapek-cie-19th-century-swiss-watch/ Czapek & Cie a été ré-établie par trois entrepreneurs passionnés par les montres raffinées et les mécaniques d'exception. François Czapek, le fondateur original, était un horloger polonais né en République tchèque, dont l'arrivée à Genève, en Suisse, remonte à 1832. En 1839, il fonde Patek, Czapek & Cie avec son compatriote polonais Antoni Patek. Pendant six ans, ils fabriquent des montres exceptionnelles. Au terme de leur partenariat, en 1845, il fonde Czapek & Cie et devient le fournisseur officiel de l'empereur français Napoléon III. À son apogée, la société comptait des boutiques à Genève, à Varsovie et à Paris, sur la place Vendôme. « La marque Czapek mérite d'être relancée. C'était l'un des fabricants de montres les plus importants du dixneuvième siècle, combinant à la perfection la mécanique de précision et un esthétisme extrêmement raffiné », a déclaré Xavier de Roquemaurel, porte-parole de l'équipe. Les montres de Czapek, qui demeurent prisées lors des ventes aux enchères, révèlent une quête de beauté à travers un affichage du temps poétique. http://fr.advfn.com/actualites/Czapek-Cie-le-retour-dune-fascinante-societe-ho_69238506.html

Le modèle de lancement est une montre à complication fonctionnant avec un mouvement exclusif à remontage manuel, avec une réserve d'alimentation de sept jours et caractérisée par une mystérieuse double aiguille. Seulement 250 unités seront fabriquées la première année. En plus de produire des montres à la fois classiques et modernes destinées aux collectionneurs avisés et aux amoureux de l'horlogerie, Czapek & Cie a développé une stratégie innovante qui permettra aux amateurs de montres de participer au processus créatif. La société a levé 500 000 CHF au printemps 2015 afin de livrer ses premières montres en octobre prochain. Elle vise désormais à lever jusqu'à 1 million CHF dans le cadre d'une campagne internationale de financement participatif sur plusieurs plateformes, la première du genre pour une marque de haute horlogerie. « Tous les amateurs de montres rêvent de sentir l'excitation de posséder une marque », a ajouté Xavier de Roquemaurel. « Grâce au système de souscription traditionnel combiné aux possibilités modernes du financement participatif, nous pouvons aujourd'hui réaliser ce rêve. » Czapek & Cie a été ré-établie en 2013 par l'entrepreneur Harry Guhl, en partenariat avec Xavier de Roquemaurel et un horloger qui souhaite pour l'instant garder l'anonymat. Les montres seront disponibles par souscription et auprès d'une sélection de détaillants. Le siège de la société est basé à Genève, en Suisse.

Hebelprodukte von BNP 10.11.2015 Czapek & Cie - Rückkehr eines faszinierenden Schweizer Uhrenherstellers des 19. Jahrhunderts Genf (ots/PRNewswire) Die Schweizer Uhrenwelt bekommt Zuwachs von einem neuen, aufregenden Unternehmen mit einem ehrwürdigen Namen. Czapek (http://czapek.com/), eine Uhrenmarke, die im 19. Jahrhundert beachtliche Erfolge erzielte, wurde wieder ins Leben gerufen und startet mit einem markanten Zeitmesser und einer innovativen Teilhaberstrategie, um Uhrenliebhaber für sich zu gewinnen. Zur Multimedia-Pressemitteilung gelangen Sie per Klick auf: http://www.multivu.com/players/uk/7684451-czapek-cie-19th-century swiss-watch/ Czapek & Cie wurde von drei Unternehmern mit einer Leidenschaft für feine Uhren und hervorragende Mechanik erneut zum Leben erweckt. Der Firmengründer François Czapek war ein in Tschechien geborener, polnischer Uhrmacher, der sich 1832 in Genf in der Schweiz niederließ. 1839 gründete er mit seinem Landsmann, dem Polen Antoni Patek, die Uhrenmanufaktur Patek, Czapek & Cie. Sechs Jahre lang stellten sie außergewöhnliche Uhren her. Als ihre Partnerschaft 1845 endete, gründete Francois Czapek die Firma Czapek & Cie und wurde Hoflieferant des französischen Kaisers Napoleon des Dritten. Auf ihrem Höhepunkt besaß die Manufaktur Boutiquen in Genf, Warschau und Paris am Place Vendôme. "Czapek verdient es, wiederbelebt zu werden. Er war einer der großen Uhrmacher des 19. Jahrhunderts, der brillant feinste Mechanik mit äußerst raffinierter Ästhetik verband", so Xavier de Roquemaurel, ceo des Unternehmens. Czapeks Uhren, die auf Auktionen immer noch sehr begehrt sind, offenbaren das Wesentliche der Zeitmessung, das Streben nach Perfektion und zeitlose Eleganz. Das Einstiegsmodell ist eine Komplikationsuhr mit einem proprietären, manuell aufgezogenen Manufaktur Uhrwerk, einer sieben Tage haltenden Gangreserve und einem Czapek typischen Doppelzeiger. Im ersten Jahr werden lediglich 250 Stück davon hergestellt. Neben den klassisch-modernen Zeitmessern, die Czapek & Cie für anspruchsvolle Sammler und Uhrenenthusiasten herstellt, hat das Unternehmen auch eine innovative Strategie entwickelt, die es Uhrenliebhaber ermöglicht, am kreativen Prozess teilzunehmen. Im Frühjahr 2015 haben Uhrenliebhaber dem Unternehmen einen Betrag von 500.000 CHF zur Verfügung gestellt, um im Oktober seine ersten Uhren ausliefern zu können. Jetzt möchte das Unternehmen ganze 1 Million CHF durch eine Crowd-Funding-Kampagne mit einer internationalen Multiplattform aufbringen - das ist erste Mal überhaupt für eine Marke der Haute Horlogerie. "Es ist der Traum jedes Uhrenliebhabers, Teilhaber einer Haute Horlogerie Manufaktur zu sein und eine Komplikation der Marke zu besitzen", so Xavier de Roquemaurel, "und Dank des traditionellen Subskriptions-Systems kombiniert mit modernen Crowdfunding-Möglichkeiten können wir diesen Traum nun erfüllen." Czapek & Cie wurde 2013 von dem Unternehmer Harry Guhl in Partnerschaft mit Xavier de Roquemaurel und einem Uhrmacher, der vorerst anonym bleiben möchte, erneut ins Leben gerufen. Die Uhren werden per Subskription und über ausgewählte Händler erhältlich sein. Das Unternehmen hat seinen Sitz in Genf, Schweiz.

SOURCE Czapek GENEVA, November 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -The Swiss watch world is about to be joined by an exciting new addition with a venerable name. Czapek, a watch brand that achieved considerable success in the nineteenth century, has been revived and is launching with a distinctive timepiece and an innovative sharing strategy to attract watch lovers. To view the Multimedia News Release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/players/uk/7684451-czapek-cie-19th-century-swisswatch/ Czapek & Cie was re-established by three entrepreneurs with a passion for fine watches and outstanding mechanics. The original founder, Fran莽ois Czapek, was a Czech-born, Polish watchmaker, who arrived in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1832. In 1839 he founded Patek, Czapek & Cie with fellow pole Antoni Patek. For six years they produced exceptional watches. At the end of their partnership, in 1845, he founded Czapek & Cie and became Purveyor to the French Emperor Napoleon the Third. At its height, the company had boutiques in Geneva, Warsaw and Paris, Place Vend么me. "Czapek deserves to be revived, he was one of the great watchmakers of the nineteenth century, who brilliantly combined precision mechanics with extremely refined aesthetics," says Xavier de Roquemaurel, spokesman for the team. Czapek's timepieces, which are still coveted at auctions, reveal a quest for beauty through a poetic display of time. The launch model is a complication watch, run on a manually-wound proprietary movement with a seven-day power reserve featuring a mysterious double hand. Only 250 units will be produced in the first year. In addition to making classically modern timepieces for the distinguishing collector and watch enthusiast, Czapek & Cie has developed an innovative strategy that will allow watch lovers to participate in the creative process. The company has raised CHF 500,000 in Spring 2015 in order to deliver the first watches this October. The Company is now aiming to raise as much as CHF 1Million in an international multiplatform crowd-funding campaign, the first one ever for an Haute Horlogerie brand. "Every watch lover's dream is to feel the excitement of owning a brand," says Xavier de Roquemaurel, "and thanks to the traditional subscription system combined with modern crowdfunding possibilities, we can now fulfil that dream." Czapek & Cie was re-established in 2013 by entrepreneur Harry Guhl in partnership with Xavier de Roquemaurel and a watchmaker who wishes to remain anonymous for the time being. The timepieces will be made available by subscription and through selected retailers. The Company is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.

Of Polish origin, Franciszek Czapek was born at the beginning of the XIXth century, a tumultuous period in the history of Europe, in Semonice, Bohemia. As young soldier he got involved in the

to François Czapek. Two years later, he created the firm Czapek & Moreau with a local Swiss watchmaker Moreau, from Versoix.

1836, was an important date in his life, it was the year when he married the daughter of a clockmaker named Jonas Pierre François Gevril de Carouge, and he met Antoine Norbert de Patek, a fellow Polish émigré, former soldier and survivor of the insurrection. Patek shed his military past and

joined in the creation of the company Patek, Czapek & Cie on May 1, 1839, a partnership that lasted

six years. Sales and the administration of the company was in the hand of Patek, while Czapek

(HTTP://WWW.WATCHPAPER.COM/TAG/GENEVA/)

devoted himself to his watchmaking and finishing art. After the dissolution of their company, Patek went on to create his own company in association with Adrien Philippe, establishing Patek, Philippe & Cie. For his part, Czapek partnered with Juliusz Gruzewski, founding “the new” Czapek & Cie.

Thus, more than 170 years later, the Czapek & Cie, a limited company was registered again. The company is headed by Harry Guhl, a consultant in the domain of art and luxury, Xavier de Roquemaurel, who comes from luxury marketing and management, and an unnamed associate, a watchmaker with haute horlogerie experience.

Quai des Bergues is a very appropriately chosen name for their debut collection, Franรงois Czapek had his workshop on Quai des Bergues in Geneva. Based on a pocket watch created by Franรงois Czapek in 1850, the collection presents six models, made up of three references that appear in two different versions each: In white or rose gold, with a grand-feu enamel dial, new-line hand, or rose gold fleur-de-lys hands. In titanium and carbon or XO steel never as yet used in watchmaking, with a choice of white or black dial.

With Quai des Bergues, Czapek is introducing watch collectors to a new material, “XO” steel. Discovered almost a century ago, “XO” steel is tougher to machine, but it presents certain advantages, such as high resistance to corrosion, particularly in acidic environments and seawater.

Inside a Quai de Bergues watch there is hand-wound SXH1 calibre beating. The architecture of the movement is inspired from an historical calibre conceived and manufactured by François Czapek in the 1850’s. With a diameter of 32 mm and a height of 4.75 mm, the two barrel springs of the SXH1 offer 168 hours (7 days) of power reserve. It beats at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hertz). The SXH1 was developed exclusively for Czapek in cooperation with GPHG prize winner JeanFrançois Mojon from Chronode. This approach of seeking out the best in all the domains to create a high-end watch is clearly visible in the suppliers of Czapek & Cie. They collaborate with big names of the industry, such as the famous designer Antoine Tschumi, LAB (Les Artisans Boitiers) one of the best case makers in Switzerland, Donzé Cadrans famous enamel dial makers that you might know from Ulysse Nardin, HMS Waeber hand makers, Camille Fournet strap, and Aurélien Bouchet who created the titanium crown protector integrated in the lug extension and the fleur-de-lys hands carved with a 0.15 mm tool. It will be exciting to observe the evolution of the Czapek brand. To learn more about them, visit czapek.com (http://czapek.com/).

The legendary nineteenth century Swiss watchmaking company - Czapek & Cie - has been revived and is launching today with the 2016 collection featuring Quai des Bergues timepiece. The original founder of the brand, which was established in 1845, was François Czapek, a Czech-born Polish watchmaker, who settled down in Geneva in 1832. Only four years after, Czapek met Antoine Norbert de Patek, a Polish pioneer in watchmaking and a creator of Patek Philippe & Co. Both were Polish emigres, and survivors of an insurrection that forced them to leave their motherland. On May 1, 1839, the fellow associates joined in the creation of the company Patek, Czapek & Cie. The partnership lasted six successful years, and then each man went his own way. Patek

The new manufacture operated successfully across the Europe. Its creations were highly regarded among Europe’s nobility, and they were sought after by the most prestigious clients, including the French Emperor, Napoleon III. Napoleon was so pleased with Czapek’s creations that he even granted him the extraordinary title of "Horloger de la Cour Impériale" (Watchmaker to the Imperial Court).

In November 2015, the legend of the famous Polish watchmaker is revived by three entrepreneurs passionate about high-end watches and outstanding mechanics - one of Europe's leading consultants Harry Guhl, in partnership with Xavier de Roquemaurel and a highly skilled watchmaker who wishes to remain anonymous. As Xavier de Roquemaurel, spokesman for the brand, explains: "Czapek deserves to be revived, he was one of the great watchmakers of the nineteenth century, who brilliantly combined precision mechanics with extremely refined aesthetics."

The revival of the brand is marked by a new collection Quai des Bergues, which is named after Czapek’s workshop in Geneva. The modern collection is inspired by the brand’s historical pocket watch, reference 3430, which was made around 1850, and said to beautifully exemplify the distinctive Czapek style. The main aesthetic features that identify Czapek's style are elegance, fine elongated numerals, slim, delicately forged hands, and the unusual position of the two sub-dials on the dial – at 4:30 and 7:30 o’clock.

In 2016, Czapek & Cie will debut with six new Quai des Bergues timepieces. These are actually three different references, each appearing in two different versions. The models will be available in either white or rose gold, with a grand-feu enamel dial, new-line hand, or rose gold fleur-de-lys hands. There is will be also a titanium and carbon version, as opposed to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mysteriousâ&#x20AC;? steel variant, with a choice of white or black dial. This enigmatic type of steel has never been used in watchmaking before, and it is described as the "XO" steel with the highest resistance to corrosion. The material is much tougher to machine, but it possesses some significant benefits that make it perfect for watch cases. For example, its high resistance to corrosion, and particularly in acidic and salty environments, makes it ideal for use in watches designed for water sports.

Czapek & Cie Quai des Bergues watches measure 42.50 in diameter, and their cases accommodate a highend mechanical movement developed for Czapek by Chronode - Czapek SXH1 caliber. The innovative movement was built in collaboration with Jean-François Mojon, a designer-watchmaker who works at the Le Locle company Chronode. The caliber’s construction is inspired by an historical caliber conceived and manufactured by François Czapek in the 1850's. The manually wound mechanism is equipped with two barrel springs and it promises up to 7 days of power reserve (168 hours). The movement beats at a frequency of 21.600 vibrations per hour, powering the functions for hours and minutes, a second sub-dial at 7:3-, and a power reserve and weekdays on a sub-dial at 4:30. Only 250 units of the model will be produced in the first year.

GENEBRA, 10 de novembro de 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- O mundo dos relógios suíços receberá em breve um novo e incrível acréscimo de nome respeitável. Czapek, uma marca de relógio que teve considerável sucesso no século dezenove, está sendo relançada e entrando no mercado com um relógio diferenciado e uma estratégia de compartilhamento inovadora para atrair os amantes dos relógios.

A Czapek & Cie foi restabelecida por três empresários apaixonados por relógios sofisticados e por mecanismos extraordinários. O fundador original, François Czapek, polonês nascido na República Tcheca, chegou em Genebra, Suíça, em 1832. Em 1839, fundou a Patek, Czapek & Cie com o polonês Antoni Patek. Durante seis anos eles produziram relógios excepcionais.

Com o fim da sociedade, em 1845, Czapek fundou a Czapek & Cie e se tornou fornecedor do imperador francês Napoleão III. Nos seus tempos áureos, a empresa possuía butiques em Genebra, Varsóvia e Paris, na Place Vendôme. "Czapek merece ser resgatado porque foi um dos grandes fabricantes de relógios do século dezenove e combinou de maneira brilhante mecanismos de precisão com uma estética extremamente refinada", disse Xavier de Roquemaurel, porta-voz da equipe. Os relógios de Czapek, que ainda são disputados em leilões, revelam uma busca pela beleza que se expressa em uma forma poética de mostrar as horas. O relógio de lançamento faz muito mais do que mostrar as horas. Possui movimento com corda manual de uso exclusivo e reserva para sete dias, além de um misterioso ponteiro duplo. No primeiro ano serão produzidas apenas 250 unidades.

Além de fazer relógios classicamente modernos para colecionadores exigentes e entusiastas de relógios, a Segundo a Segundo Czapeck & Cie desenvolveu uma estratégia inovadora que permitirá que os amantes dos relógios participem do processo criativo. Tecnologia e Ciência Trânsito Jornal Hoje em Dia Jornal Correio do Povo Enquetes Quiz Todas de Notícias

A empresa levantou quinhentos mil francos suíços no primeiro semestre de 2015 para entregar os primeiros relógios em outubro passado. Seu objetivo agora é arrecadar um milhão de francos suíços em uma campanha internacional de crowfunding em múltiplas plataformas, a primeira campanha desse tipo feita para uma marca de Haute Horlogerie. "O sonho de todos os amantes de relógios é sentir a emoção de possuir um relógio de marca", disse Xavier de Roquemaurel, "e graças ao sistema tradicional de subscrição associado às possibilidades modernas de crowfunding, nós podemos agora tornar esse sonho realidade". A Czapek & Cie foi restabelecida em 2013 pelo empresário Harry Guhl em parceira com Xavier de Roquemaurel e um fabricante de relógios que por enquanto prefere se manter no anonimato. Os relógios estarão disponíveis por subscrição e através de varejistas selecionados. A empresa tem sede em Genebra, na Suíça.

zapek… Patek… Can you !nd any similarities there? I know I can and that’s actually not very surprising because the two are closer linked than you might imagine. They even say that without the work of a man named Francois Czapek, there would be no Patek. I’ll be honest there would most likely be a Patek Philippe anyway, but it might have folded quietly with the quartz

revolution or if it had survived might be making watches which sell for similar prices to Frederique Constant. Not to put down Frederique Constant in any way, their watches are !ne pieces, but I am glad that Patek Philippe is where it is today.

Czapek pocket watch reference 3430 – 1850

Master watchmaker Franciszek Czapek (whom later became known as Francois Czapek) was born in Bohemia, Czech Republic in 1811. Antoni Patek noticed his technical brilliance and formed a 6-year long collaboration which spanned from 1839 to 1845. For this duration of time, the company was known as Patek http://wristreview.com/?p=19829

& Czapek Co. with Francois becoming appointed the role of head watchmaker within the company while Antoni Patek covered the public relations department. This company made around 200 watches a year, some of which still survive today and can be found in private collections. When the collaboration between the two ended the company became known as Patek & Co. for a further 6 years until the name Patek Philippe was introduced, the name has stuck ever since. Once Czapek left the Patek company, he founded his own watch with a man named Juliusz Gruzewski who had a connection to the Royal Court of Napoleon. Czapek watches became the o"cial watchmaker to the court of Napoleon himself, a title previously attributed to the likes of L.Leroy and Breguet, it was a very high honour indeed! Czapekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company had a manufacture in Geneva with two boutiques, one in Paris and another in Warsaw (if you read my articles about the Faberge Agathon watches youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remember that at this point in time the people from that area of the world loved French design and architecture).

The reason the company disappeared around the 1870â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mark is still a complete mystery to this day as no one kept any documents. However, it is believed that Francois Czapek died around this period in time as the watches started being signed A. Chaillet.

The company was eventually revived in 2011 and operations were moved to Neuchatel in Switzerland. This new watch is named after the street where the Czapek watch workshop was located. It took them a lot of research and crowdfunding to complete this watch, but the Quai des Bergues watch really is a marvel and the movement is no exception.

By using the traditional designs of Czapek pocket watch movements combined with the bene!ts of modern technologies, the SXH1 calibre was born. Due to itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only inherently beautiful, partly thanks to being completely uncluttered by an automatic winding system, the movement is also relatively practical by o#ering a full week or power.

The watch is o#ered in rose gold, white gold, titanium or XO steel, a highly corrosive resistant form of steel. Choosing the gold version not only gets you a feast for the eyes, but also tiny touches such as the Fleur de Lis tipped hands.

Another touch I like on the dial is the day of the week indicator. So as not to be asymmetrical, and, therefore, intrusive, with the design, the date indicator is a round subdial which shows the number of the day of the week and the name of the day in French.

Depending on the choice of metal, the dials come in either black or white, both are designed to contrast harmoniously with the 42.5mm case. The watch will cost €9950 for XO steel, €14,900 for titanium €24,300 for rose gold and €24,900 for white gold. For more info, please visit czapek.com (http://czapek.com/)

Czapek peut-il renaître de ses cendres ? Un trio d’entrepreneurs passionnés espère lever un million de francs sur internet pour relancer la marque Czapek, du nom d’un horloger polonais du XIXe siècle. Il s’appuie sur un réseau de sous-traitants reconnus et a levé un premier coin de voile le 10 novembre à Genève, à quelques mètres de l’horloge fleurie. Tout un symbole!

Peut-on faire revivre tous les morts, et tous les morts le méritent-ils ? La question se pose avec une acuité particulière en horlogerie, tant sont nombreuses les tombes qu’on a retournées à la recherche d’un artisan plus ou moins oublié des siècles passés, et dont le seul nom inscrit sur un cadran devrait donner une légitimité historique à une marque surgie du néant. C’est aujourd’hui au tour de François Czapek de tenter cette dangereuse aventure. L’homme fut à la haute horlogerie ce que Pete Best était à la variété anglo-saxonne. Pete Best, le premier batteur des Beatles avec qui il joua pendant deux ans avant de quitter le groupe en 1962, aux portes d’une gloire qu’il ne partagea jamais. Et Czapek? Un talentueux horloger polonais du XIXe siècle, émigré à Genève où il fonda Patek, Czapek & Cie avec Antoine Norbert de Patek. Ils travaillèrent ensemble durant six ans avant de se séparer en 1845, créant chacun sa propre marque; Patek Philippe et son glorieux destin d’un côté, Czapek & Cie de l’autre. Un trio inattendu C’est donc cette dernière marque que trois associés ont décidé de ressusciter. Un trio inattendu, formé de Harry Guhl, spécialiste allemand du marché de l’art établi à Bâle, de Xavier de Roquemaurel, pro du marketing, fort de plusieurs années d’expérience dans la mode chez Loewe et Ermenegildo Zegna pour le compte de LVMH, et enfin d’un jeune horloger, salarié d’une marque établie, qui a consacré à Czapek tout son temps libre. Absent du registre du commerce, ce troisième partenaire est resté

Czapek peut-il renaître de ses cendres ? - WtheJournal - all about high-end watches

jusqu’ici invisible, ne surgissant que le 10 novembre dernier pour présenter ses prototypes aux journalistes. En horlogerie, les ingrédients du succès sont connus même si la recette en elle-même reste mystérieuse. Pour réussir, il faut une marque, un produit, un réseau de distribution, des clients. Et bien sûr les fonds nécessaires pour asseoir tout cela, en l’occurrence un million de francs que le trio espère lever via un site de crowdfunding. Pour la marque, ce sera donc Czapek, tombée depuis longtemps dans le domaine public et que Harry Guhl a déposée il y a quelques années. Sa parenté avec Patek Philippe lui confère une forme de légitimité, tout comme la présence de quelques pièces historiques au Patek Philippe Museum ou les inévitables références aux cours européennes dont elle était, ditelle, le fournisseur officiel. Un modèle inspiré par une montre de 1850 Pour le produit, le trio d’entrepreneurs s’est inspiré d’une montre de poche créée par François Czapek vers 1850. Il a donné naissance à une première collection baptisée «Quai des Bergues», en référence à l’adresse originale de l’atelier de l’horloger polonais. La montre est élégante, épurée, avec des index fins rivés à un cadran émail grand feu. A la fonction heures/minutes centrale viennent s’ajouter deux compteurs positionnés de façon atypique: une petite seconde placée à 7h30, et un indicateur de réserve de marche de sept jours, à 4h30. Ce dernier est muni d’une double aiguille dont s’inspire le logo de la marque, et indique simultanément la réserve de marche et le jour de la semaine, pour autant qu’on ait pris soin de remonter sa montre le dimanche, à la façon des pendules anciennes. Le dos saphir révèle les deux barillets et des ponts joliment microbillés, mais dont la découpe reste peut-être un peu trop simple, pas tout-à-fait à la hauteur des ambitions affichées. Pour garantir la qualité d’une montre dont le prix de vente devrait osciller entre 10'000 et 25'000 francs selon les versions (acier, titane, or, cadran argent ou émail grand feu), Czapek & Cie mise sur son réseau de sous-traitants, réunis sous le concept de «manufacture horizontale»: le calibre est signé Jean-François Mojon que l’on connait pour ses interventions chez MB&F ou HYT, la boîte vient des Artisans Boîtiers, propriété de la Fondation Sandoz et logiquement fournisseurs de Parmigiani Fleurier. Quant aux cadrans émail grand feu utilisés pour une partie de la collection, on les doit au talent de Donzé Cadran, au Locle. Un million sur internet Le réseau de distribution compte pour l’instant un premier relais, Chronopassion, la boutique parisienne de Laurent Picciotto où les curieux pourront découvrir des prototypes avant de passer commande. Le reste se passera sur internet via la plateforme Raizers, site de crowdfunding sensé fournir à Czapek & Cie de nouveaux actionnaires minoritaires; ces derniers se transformeront en autant de clients finaux, après avoir ajouté un million de francs au capital de la société. Objectif déclaré, enregistrer une centaine de commande d’ici à la fin de l’année pour pouvoir lancer la production. Et dans l’esprit des fondateurs, ce ne sera qu’un premier tour de piste. Pour tenir le positionnement revendiqué, entre Blancpain et Audemars Piguet, une répétition minute est annoncée pour 2018, alors qu’en fin de documentation figure déjà l’hypothèse de la revente de la société à un groupe du secteur du luxe. Pour le trio de Czapek, le pari est risqué. Avant eux, d’innombrables investisseurs ont déjà réveillé (ou tenté de le faire) d’innombrables «belles endormies», selon la terminologie constante adoptée par leurs communiqués de presse. Certains l’ont fait au nom d’un vague lien de parenté, comme si être «fils de» ou «neveu de» suffisait à faire naître la compétence, d’autres parce qu’ils en avaient la surface financière et l’envie. Ces dix dernières années ont été riches d’échecs cuisants, de marques qui n’ont http://www.wthejournal.com/news/view/czapek-peut-il-renaitre-de-ses-cendres

jamais dépassé le stade des prototypes, ou n’ont produit que quelques exemplaires de montres sans clients, avant de sombrer dans cet oubli d’où on n’aurait jamais dû les tirer. Mais le succès a parfois aussi été au rendez-vous, comme pour Bovet que Pascal Raffy a su ranimer après des décennies de sommeil, ou pour Blancpain tirée de sa somnolence par un Jean-Claude Biver toujours indispensable. On suivra donc avec intérêt les premiers pas de Czapek, qui a au moins pour elle l’enthousiasme et la sincérité.

Lancée en janvier

2014 par Maxime Pallain, Grégoire Linder et Jesper Fjordbak, trois entrepreneurs respectivement genevois, français et danois, la plateforme de crowdfunding Raizers (http://www.raizers.com/index.php) se

distingue par son caractère paneuropéen. Elle offre aussi la possibilité à ses utilisateurs d’investir dans des startups sous forme de prise de participation au capital mais aussi de prêts destinés à ces entreprises.

Un statut reconnu Après avoir obtenu l’agrément de l’Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) (http://www.amf-france.org/) en France en novembre 2014 (avec le statut de conseiller en investissements participatifs) puis avoir reçu le blanc-seing de la FINMA (https://www.finma.ch/fr/#Order=4)en

savoir avec quels plats les associer, lève 250 000 euros en deux mois auprès d’une cinquantaine d’investisseurs. Quatre autres projets ont depuis été financés à hauteur de 600 000 euros en moyenne. Six autres n’atteindront pas leurs objectifs et sont en stand-by. «Nous nous sommes rendus compte qu’il est important qu’un premier cercle investisse tout de suite entre 10% et 20% du montant recherché », explique Gabrielle Guirriec, la responsable de l’activité prêts de la plateforme. Les prises de participation au capital sont systématiquement minoritaires (entre 15% et 25% du capital). Dans le cas de la dette, les montants levés servent souvent à en compléter d’autres trouvés auprès des banques classiques.

suisse début novembre avec deux projets. Ads.ch (https://www.ads.ch/) est une bourse de publicités en ligne (adexchange). Czapek (http://czapek.com/) est une entreprise

horlogère haut de gamme qui relance une marque créée au XIXème siècle par le premier associé de Patek. En 15 jours, la première a atteint 12% du financement recherché et la deuxième 16%. Il apparait que la dimension transfrontière de cette plateforme joue en faveur des projets. Les premiers projets français avaient attiré 20% d’investisseurs helvétiques. Dans le cas des deux projets suisses, les fonds viennent pour moitié de chaque côté de la frontière. Raizers fait cependant face à une concurrence très dure dans le crowdfunding en capital qui est une spécificité européenne. Pareil appel à l’épargne n’est pas possible aux Etats-Unis. En France, SmartAngels (https://www.smartangels.fr/), Anaxago (https://www.anaxago.com/) et Wiseed (https://www.wiseed.com/fr) sont déjà de

très gros acteurs. Et de même dans le cas d’Investiere http://www.bilan.ch/techno/raizers-debute-conquete-europeenne-suisse

«Une de nos particularités est d’avoir dématérialisée non seulement la levée de fonds mais aussi tous les processus associés à une prise de participation : documents juridiques, assemblée générale en ligne, etc. », explique Gabrielle Guirriec. L’entreprise commercialise aussi sa plateforme sous forme de marque blanche. L’école de commerce parisienne EDC l’utilise par exemple pour les projets de crowdfunding adressés à sa communauté d’ancien élèves. Movies Angels (http://www.movies-angels.com/) fait de

même pour le financement participatif de films.
