About this reference

Czapek's Antarctique Aventurine is a unique combination of elegance and zeitgeist. Like a smoking jacket over everyday pants and vice versa, codes are broken and reconciled to better combine and highlight each other. A unique style that allows the wearer stylistic subtlety and, above all, endless freedom of expression. For a wrist above 16.mm, its contained size of 40.5mm, and above all its finesse, will be a guarantee of discreet but remarkable presence while combining an indisputable form of power thanks to its rough angles, its flanks open to the movement drum and its contrasting finishes. But let’s talk a bit more about the dressy part: Czapek has a longstanding love affair with aventurine, having harnessed its mysterious beauty for special editions of both Quai de Bergues (‘Midnight in Geneva’ limited edition to celebrate the first Geneva boutique opening, in 2019) and Faubourg de Cracovie (2022). “It’s a material that we love to play with, and it was a logical evolution to use it for the Antarctique – they were made to go together. Moreover, Antarctica is the world's best spot for stargazing!” says Czapek’s CEO Xavier de Roquemaurel.
