Product description

The Czapek Antarctique Rattrapante R.U.R. – Tribute to Karel Čapek unites fine watchmaking with a literary homage to the Czech author who gave the world the word “robot.” Inspired by Čapek’s visionary play R.U.R., this creation explores the relationship between humanity and technology – a dialogue between precision, creativity, and emotion.

Its 42.5 mm stainless steel case blends the sporty spirit of the Antarctique line with refined haute horlogerie aesthetics. The skeletonized dial features a robotic head motif whose “eyes” change color with the chronograph’s state – yellow for start, red for stop, and blue for reset – a clever nod to Čapek’s philosophical reflection on machines and mankind.

Inside beats the in-house SXH6 calibre, a monopusher rattrapante chronograph developed with Chronode, capable of measuring two elapsed times simultaneously. With 120 m water resistance, a sapphire caseback, and an integrated steel bracelet, this timepiece embodies innovation, intellect, and the art of time itself.

A tradition that has come to life

Czapek & amp; amp; Cie

The Czapek & amp; Cie brand continues the legacy of the Polish-Czech watchmaker Francis Czapek, co-founder of Patek, Czapek & amp; Cie in 1839. After his break with Patek, he founded his own brand in Geneva and soon became the court watchmaker to Napoleon III.

After many decades of silence, the brand was revived in 2015 by a group of enthusiasts. Today, it offers exclusive Swiss watches that combine traditional craftsmanship with innovative design. Collections such as Quai des Bergues and Antarctique prove that Czapek & Cie is one of the most distinctive independent brands in contemporary haute horlogerie.
