Czapek & Cie, founded by Franciszek Czapek in 1845, is a storied Swiss watch brand with Polish roots. Czapek, a Polish watchmaker, initially collaborated with Antoine Norbert de Patek in 1839, forming ‘Patek, Czapek & Cie’ in Geneva. Their partnership dissolved in 1845, leading Czapek to establish his own firm, winning acclaim for exquisite craftsmanship and sophisticated designs. Despite its early success, the brand became dormant for over a century. Revived in 2015 through a unique crowdfunding campaign, Czapek & Cie has since re-emerged as a symbol of haute horlogerie, maintaining its legacy while introducing contemporary masterpieces.
