Celebrating a decade of innovation & excellence

Celebrating ten years since the revival of the Maison’s name, Czapek journeys back to the future with the Time Jumper, powered by the new in-house Calibre 10.01. A bold twist on traditional guillochage decorates the futuristic lines of its 40.5mm steel case, while the half-hunter cover plays a refined game of hide-and-seek with the time indication and the open-worked movement beneath. Released as a limited edition of 100 pieces in stainless steel, the watch pays tribute to Czapek’s 10th Anniversary celebration. Reimagining François Czapek’s 19th-century pocket watches with playful, avant-garde flair, the watch displays jumping hours across two discs – a première with a patent-pending mechanism – and trailing minutes on a peripheral ring. The new three-dimensional guilloché pattern on the half-hunter cover creates the illusion of a black hole, its central loupe revealing the heart of the movement within. But flip open the cover, and the entire movement beneath a sapphire crystal glass reveals itself, a spectacle of light and motion.

Haute horlogerie finishes, in combinations that define Czapek’s aesthetic, bring life and movement to Calibre 10.01. The rhodium-coated bridges contrast elegantly with blackened plates, creating reflections that suggest light breaking through the depths of space. Traditional negative engraving on the rotor meets the precision of laser-engraved numerals, filled with glowing Super-Luminova. Representing a new chapter in Czapek’s technical evolution, Calibre 10.01 was designed, conceived, and assembled in-house, with 75 percent of its components machined internally. This approach is not about total vertical integration, but about intelligent independence – the freedom to collaborate with the finest artisans while retaining control of the craft and honoring the traditions that define Swiss watchmaking excellence.

The Calibre 10 begins with a centrally mounted winding rotor in recycled 950 platinum, skeletonised to reveal the architecture below in its purest form. The overall design is fluid and harmonious with concentric circles, graceful curves, and an open interplay of bridges, anchored by the geometric arms of the compass-shaped rotor. The five-spoke wheels, finished with diamond-bevellededges, add technical artistry and elegance. Calibre 10.01, the first expression of this philosophy, combines a central jumping-hours display on a 24-hour register with trailing minutes on a peripheral ring. Two sapphire discs – one for single digits, one for tens – create a seamless passage of time. The flying-saucer case evokes an astronaut’s instrument, suggesting a watch built for discovery and curiosity.
