THE BESPOKE ATELIER
Czapek & Cie began making bespoke timepieces over 150 years ago.
The brand’s traditional savoir-faire and spirit have been revived for modern times. We offer you an exclusive opportunity to create unique or personalized timepieces on request. We combine the finest materials, cutting-edge technology, and the unrivalled expertise of our designers and craftspeople to create a watch that is as unique as you are. We can develop a watch according to your specific desires, and make it a true extension of your personality. A Czapek on your wrist reveals much more than just time.
"I think it’s only fair to give credit where credit is due and my experience with Czapek as a brand was them being more about watchmaking, than money making."

HANDMADE ENGRAVING
Special and unique hand-engravings, created by Swiss top artist and craftswoman Michèle Rothen Rebetez, can be commissioned on special order for platinum or gold timepieces.
MICRO PAINTING
Our expert craftmen are able to incorporate your preferred design in the centre of your dial to create a unique, personalised watch. We combine the talent of Jacques Terpant, a famous French designer, and the extraordinary savoir-faire of André Martinez, the Le Locle-based miniature painter, to re-interpret coats- of-arms and designs in a contemporary and careful manner using single hair brushes.
RARE STONES
Tiger-eye, amber, calcedonia or even dinosaur bone can be set in the crown of your watch. Choose from a selection of nine precious stones of varying colours to create your own unique timepiece.
SECRET SENTENCE
Have your “secret sentence” written in the enamel dial of your Czapek timepiece. The phrase, personal message or motto (up to 33 characters) is only visible when light reflects off the dial at a certain angle. It is the final word in understated personalization. And a well-kept manufacturing secret.
TRULY UNIQUE PIECES
The creation of a unique piece is also a unique adventure. For our customers as well as for our teams. From dream to reality, Czapek is committed to create exceptional watches where collaboration and exchanges are as much a part of the creation process as their technical realization.
