CZAPEK: Creating Modern Watches While Inheriting History. The concept for CZAPEK in 2026 is a return to its origins.

Promenade | Enjoying the Dial as a Work of Art

The "Promenade" collection symbolizes CZAPEK's new expression.

Promenade treats the dial not merely as a background for time display, but as the central canvas of the watch.

Traditional guilloché, three-dimensional decorations that create flows of light, and color expressions that leverage the unique characteristics of materials. By combining these with an off-center small seconds, it achieves a classic yet subtly tense design.

The case diameter is 38mm. Within this modest size, it encapsulates the presence of the dial and the beauty of the in-house automatic movement Cal. SXH5.

Promenade Plissé Ivory | Changes Expression with Light, Limited Edition of 18 Pieces Worldwide

Among the 2025–2026 new models, one that we particularly recommend viewing at Conte Vanou is the "Promenade Plissé Ivory".

"Plissé" is a French word meaning pleats or folds. The dial features a three-dimensional pattern reminiscent of folded fabric.

From the front, it appears as a calm ivory. However, with just a slight tilt of the watch, light moves across the fine undulations, and the shadows on the dial constantly change.

Instead of attracting attention with strong colors, the design incorporates light itself. Its delicate expression is felt more strongly in person than in photographs.

This model is limited to 18 pieces worldwide. Beyond its rarity, it embodies CZAPEK's aesthetic sense in the harmony of dial decoration, movement, and case size.

Antarctique | The Current State of Independent Sports Watches

One of CZAPEK's signature collections is "Antarctique".

While featuring a sporty stainless steel case and integrated bracelet, the finishing, wearing comfort, and dial expression maintain the delicate precision of a luxury watch.

The center of the bracelet features polished "C"-shaped links, reminiscent of CZAPEK's initial. The contrast with the satin-finished links creates a play of light as the wrist moves.

Visible through the case back is the in-house automatic movement Cal. SXH5. With a recycled platinum micro-rotor and openly arranged bridges, one can simultaneously enjoy the movement's mechanics and finishing.

Antarctique Passage de Drake Glacier Blue

The "Antarctique Passage de Drake Glacier Blue" model combines CZAPEK's iconic "Stairway to Eternity" pattern with a glacier-inspired blue.

The three-dimensional dial changes its expression from blue to silver depending on the viewing angle and light intensity. While possessing the robustness of a sports watch, the colors remain exquisitely elegant. It's CZAPEK's characteristic sports elegance that naturally complements a jacket.

While photographs capture the captivating color of the dial, the actual timepiece allows you to appreciate the overall perfection, including the finishing of the case and bracelet, its slimness, and how it sits on the wrist.

Fratello × CZAPEK Promenade “Transparencies” Viridian Green

The Promenade “Transparencies” Viridian Green, born from the collaboration between international watch media "Fratello" and CZAPEK, is also a noteworthy timepiece.

A deep viridian green and a dial expression that evokes transparency. When it catches the light, multiple layers appear to overlap, creating depth within the serene dial.

This piece is limited to 50 pieces worldwide. Its availability in Japan is extremely limited, making its arrival at Conte Vanou a valuable opportunity to directly witness CZAPEK's current creativity.

From 2025 to 2026. CZAPEK's World Continues to Expand

Quai des Bergues | CZAPEK's origin, and into the next era

"Quai des Bergues" is a collection that can be called the brand's origin, announcing the revival of modern CZAPEK.

Its name comes from "Quai des Bergues" (Berges Embankment), where François Czapek established his workshop in Geneva in 1845, along the beautiful Rhone River.

An elegant round case with an asymmetrically placed small seconds and power reserve indicator. While featuring a classic configuration, the unique empty space and tension created on the dial create a look that is unmistakably CZAPEK.

The hand-wound movement Cal. SXH1, equipped with two mainspring barrels, achieves a long power reserve of approximately 7 days. From the case back, you can see the beautiful composition reminiscent of a 19th-century pocket watch, and a movement that integrates modern finishing.

Rather than simply reproducing historical watches, CZAPEK inherits their spirit into the modern era. Quai des Bergues encapsulates CZAPEK's past, present, and future philosophy of watchmaking.

And now, the Quai des Bergues in Geneva, from which it takes its name, may once again become a special place for CZAPEK.

Anticipation quietly builds for the untold stories yet to come.

There are also unrevealed secrets. If you'd like to know more about this story, please inquire at the Conte Vanou store.

The Value of CZAPEK (Czapek) Appreciated by Seeing the Real Thing

CZAPEK watches cannot be fully described by their specifications or limited edition numbers alone.

The angle of light on the dial. The case, which utilizes both polished and satin finishes. The movement of the bracelet as it conforms to the wrist. And the three-dimensional structure and finishing of the movement.

When you actually see each of these and wear the watch on your wrist, it becomes clearer why CZAPEK is attracting attention from watch enthusiasts worldwide.

At Conte Vanou, we will carefully guide you through the differences between models, their mechanisms, dial manufacturing techniques, and even the philosophy behind CZAPEK's watchmaking, all while you view the actual timepieces.
