Czapek Opens the Dial of Antarctique in New Révélation

Maybe essentially the most fascinating a part of this watch is the dedication to the motion in an effort to get the openworked particulars proper. It started, in response to Czapek, with a request from a fan of the model. CEO Xavier de Roquemaurel explains: “Individuals had been in love with the outstanding design of our SXH5 motion, and we due to this fact requested ourselves how we might someway make it seen on the dial” and …”quickly a much more advanced concept emerged, particularly turning a part of the motion the other way up within the case and skeletonizing the primary plate.” What emerged was one thing fully new within the SXH7 motion, made bespoke to showcase the motion in an optimum method, via the dial.

The outcomes converse for themselves right here, with a very distinctive open dial. The seconds hand has been positioned at 4:30, and the steadiness beneath a full bridge at 6 o’clock. The oscillating weight, which is now seen on either side of the dial, needed to be engraved and completed on the bottom, as did most of the reworked bridges supporting the re-structured gear prepare. By way of all this the motion has retained the Czapek DNA.
