About this reference

The Quai des Bergues collection — launched in 2015 — draws its name from François Czapek’s first Geneva atelier on the Quai des Bergues, a workshop that later led to boutiques in Paris and Warsaw. The founders of modern-day Czapek immersed themselves in 19th-century archives, studying pocket-watch references such as the 1850s model 3430, which inspired the line’s earliest wristwatches. The first production model, the Quai des Bergues N° 33, reinterpreted historic codes with elongated Roman numerals, a grand feu enamel dial and the signature twin de-centred subdials for small seconds and power reserve. Its proprietary calibre was developed with Chronode. Since its debut, the Quai des Bergues line has embodied Czapek’s philosophy of seeking Beauty through a dialogue between heritage, imperfection, and contemporary refinement. A discreet reproduction of François Czapek’s archival signature sits within the small-seconds subdial, echoing the model’s theme of visible and hidden details. The piece is powered by Czapek’s manual-wound calibre, inheriting the lineage of the first Quai des Bergues wristwatches. Its twin-barrel structure provides a 7-day power reserve — practical for weekly winding and historically linked to 19th-century habits. Inspired by pocket-watch architecture, the movement features open ratchets, symmetry, and haute horlogerie finishes such as circular graining, san Overview: Reference (site code): CZ-8042; Collection: Quai des Bergues; Listing status: Watch Finder.
