ANTARCTIQUE PASSAGE DE DRAKE AFTERGLOW 40.5MM LIMITED EDITION OF 100
A Journey in Watchmaking Excellence
Inspired by the treacherous Drake Passage, this timepiece is more than a watch, it’s a story of human adventure, craftsmanship, and bold design. The Antarctique Passage de Drake features a striking “Stairway to Eternity” dial, with a three-dimensional trapezoid motif that plays with light and shadow for a dramatic visual effect.
Housed in a 40.5mm stainless steel case with a signature double ‘trompe l’oeil’ curve, this sport-chic timepiece is powered by Czapek’s first fully in-house automatic movement, the SXH5.01. Its skeletonized bridges, off-center micro-rotor, and exceptional finishing merge classic horology with modern innovation.
Comfort meets style with a brushed, ergonomic integrated bracelet, polished to form a hidden “C” — and an easy quick-change system for swapping straps on the fly. Choose from elegant calf leather or textured rubber options that mirror the dial’s geometric design.
For those who seek something rare, refined, and truly independent the Passage de Drake is a watch for the few who collect differently.

Where Design Meets Mechanical Mastery
The WATCHMAKING APPROACH
At Czapek & Cie, watchmaking is driven by a constant dialogue between aesthetic intention and mechanical excellence. Each timepiece begins with a clear design vision, where dial architecture, movement layout, and finishing are conceived in harmony to achieve both visual balance and technical performance. Rather than treating the movement as a hidden engine, Czapek develops its calibres as expressive structures. Combining symmetry, asymmetry, and transparency to create depth, light interaction, and architectural clarity.
This approach extends across every stage of development, from in-house calibre engineering to artisanal decoration. Special attention is given to finishing techniques and dial craftsmanship, where textures, guilloché-inspired patterns, and refined surfaces are designed to interact dynamically with light. The result is a signature language of modern haute horlogerie: watches that unite precision mechanics with sculptural design, conceived as both technical instruments and objects of aesthetic expression.
