Czapek & Cie watches

Czapek & Cie takes its name from François Czapek, a Czech-born Polish watchmaker who settled in Geneva in 1832. From 1839 he was in partnership with Antoine Patek as Patek, Czapek & Cie; after the partnership ended in 1845, he founded Czapek & Cie.

The name was revived in Geneva by a group that included Xavier de Roquemaurel and Harry Guhl, and the new company presented its first watch, the Quai des Bergues, on 10 November 2015. The collection is named after the Geneva street where Czapek had his shop. The relaunch was financed in part by an equity crowdfunding campaign. The company is headquartered in Geneva.

Later collections include the Place Vendôme, Faubourg de Cracovie and the Antarctique sports watch.
