Full-Cataloguing
As part of the TimeForArt auction, Czapek has created the Antarctique ‘Artists & Artisans - TimeForArt 2026’, a special and unique timepiece in collaboration with Guillaume Denervaud, a Swiss artist, and Czapek’s long-term partner, the Swiss dial-maker Metalem.
The dial is crafted from mother of pearl. It is adorned with a hand painted pattern by Guillaume Denervaud, which take inspiration from his work. The hands are designed in a sword-like style, offering a sporty and easy-to-read display.
The timepiece is housed in a 40.5mm stainless steel case featuring an original double “trompe l'oeil” curve, another unconventional design choice that makes this watch unique and exclusive. It is fitted with a stainless-steel integrated bracelet, with brushed links connected by highly polished links shaped like a “C” for Czapek. The bracelet also features a quick-change system, allowing the wearer to easily switch to a rubber strap, and a micro-adjustment.
Inside the created Antarctique Artists & Artisans - TimeForArt 2026’, is the automatic caliber SXH5, with a 60-hour power reserve and a micro-rotor made of recycled platinum. Combining sophistication with high reliability, the SXH5 merges traditional haute horlogerie finishing techniques with avant-garde laser engravings.
