The one-off creation made such an impression that, with the collector’s agreement, Czapek chose to extend the idea into a limited series of 10 pieces, preserving the spirit of the original commission.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIts forest green dial features Czapek’s hand-guilloché ‘Singularité’ pattern, developed with Metalem specifically for the Antarctique Tourbillon. Unlike a traditional rosace, the engraving shifts its point of origin with every pass of the lathe, creating a vortex that draws the eye toward the tourbillon. PVD treatment, green markers and luminous skeletonised hands complete the composition with remarkable depth and intensity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAt its heart is Calibre 9, the first Czapek movement not only designed and constructed in-house, but also machined mostly in-house. On the dial side, the tourbillon, gear train and barrel align along a single vertical axis, while the flying tourbillon turns inside a convex titanium cage. Through the caseback, a hand-engraved 5N gold oscillating weight completes the mechanical architecture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e,\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe 40.5 mm case is crafted in 18k 2N yellow gold, 11.5 mm high and framed by box sapphire crystals. It flows into an integrated yellow gold bracelet equipped with Czapek’s Easy Release system, while alligator leather or rubber straps are available on request. Limited to 10 pieces, Victory Green brings rarity and presence together in one composition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReflecting Czapek’s unwavering pursuit of Beauty, the purity of the mechanism became the main design driver for the new in-house movement, Czapek Calibre 9. The fundamental principle was that that the three key elements – tourbillon, gear train and barrel – should be revealed on the dial side, perfectly aligned on the vertical axis and appearing as airy and light as possible. The open-worked flying tourbillon appears to hover between the main plate and dial, directly connected to the gear train, which floats in the centre of the dial beneath an extremely long and finely curved minutes bridge. The barrel dominates the upper section of the dial, floating in an aperture beneath an open-worked bridge. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo amplify the trompe l’oeil effect and create the impression that it is floating in the air, the surface of the gold winding rotor is convex. Moreover, Michèle Rothen, Czapek’s cherished independent master engraver, hand-engraved it with a black-hole-inspired pattern similar to the guilloché Singularité.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003en luxury watchmaking, comfort and design go hand in hand. The Antarctique Tourbillon is equipped with a brushed integrated bracelet that meshes to form a highly polished \"C\" for Czapek. The bracelet’s ergonomic design ensures comfort and lightness, allowing the timepiece to be worn effortlessly. The micro-adjustment system, introduced in January 2022, allows the wearer to extend the bracelet by a few millimeters for the perfect fit. Additionally, the watch comes with an exclusive quick-change system for switching between straps, offering versatility with rubber or leather alternatives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Czapek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48296124645547,"sku":"1661-P-S","price":1.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/2783\/3515\/files\/czapek-antarctique-tourbillon-victory-green.jpg?v=1792258504","url":"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/products\/czapek-antarctique-tourbillon-victory-green","provider":"Exquisite Timepieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
