Czapek and Cie’s Faubourg de Cracovie Crossroads is easily identifiable by its sporty and elegant case featuring integrated pushers and a guilloché crossroads pattern on the dial. The latest release includes two new iterations - the Faubourg de Cracovie Crossroads Deep Blue, which is offered as part of the regular collection, and the Czapek Faubourg de Cracovie Crossroads “Secret Alloy”, a 50-piece limited edition.
The timepiece is encased in 41.5mm stainless steel with hollowed-out lugs and pushers integrated into the crown guards. This design not only reinforces Czapek’s signature style but also enhances the functionality and comfort of the watch on the wrist. The piece is paired with either an alligator leather strap or a sporty Alcantara option, catering to the watch’s dual character as both a refined timepiece and a functional tool.
The dial of the chronograph is where the watch truly comes to life. The Deep Blue version comes with contrasting counters, while the “Secret Alloy” monochrome version matches the raw colour of the precious metal base— the dial showcases a dynamic new guilloché pattern aptly named “Crossroads.” This design, developed in collaboration with dial-maker Metalem, features straighter, wider, and deeper lines than traditional patterns, resembling a tire tread and nodding to the watch’s racing inspiration. The tachymeter scale, situated on the dial flange, adds a practical tool for measuring speed, while the three-dimensional effect and intense colour reflect the intricate craftsmanship that defines Czapek’s aesthetic.
At the heart of the watch is the Caliber SXH3, an automatic chronograph movement developed in partnership with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier. Known for its precision and durability, this movement is equipped with a column wheel, vertical clutch, and a linear zero-resetting hammer to ensure smooth chronograph operation. Its high-frequency rate of 5Hz allows for accurate time measurement down to 1/10th of a second. The movement is beautifully finished with sand-blasted and diamond-polished bridges, an anthracite colour, and an 18-carat pink gold rotor visible through the sapphire caseback.
The Czapek Faubourg de Cracovie Crossroads will be available through authorised boutiques globally. The prices of the watches start from Rs. 34,97,000 (approx.). Deliveries will begin in May 2025.
