GMT Great Masters of Time
The concept behind Great Masters of Time (GMT) was born in 2007 when the first boutique opened in Porto Cervo to select, promote, and showcase a full range of non-traditional watches and properly show to all watch collectors the mechanics and the non-conventional, elegant style features of the Maison directed by ingenious Masters of Time.
In February 2010, GMT brought its concept into a new multi brand boutique in Corso Magenta 11, located in the historical centre of Milan, which rapidly became the best leading destination to discover High-End Independent Watchmaking and International Jewelery brands in town.
2021 marks a further development for GMT with the opening of the new Flagship boutique in Milan – via della Spiga 25 – in the heart of the Fashion district.
This is an important step for GMT that highlights the constant evolution and research made through the years while strengthening its role as a landmark for Independent Watchmaking and High-End Jewelery.
Today GMT Great Masters of Time is owned by the third generation of the family led by the exact same passion that allowed it to weave its name with the history of Swiss watchmaking.

The history of Cristilli began in September 1955 in Rome, when Maurizio Cristilli took his first steps into the world of jewellery. After years of apprenticeship in the art of gem-setting, he started working with the most important Roman jewellers of that time. In 1968 he opened his first boutique in Rome, in the centre of the Parioli district, flanked by his wife Rita. Over the years new openings followed and a wider public, including local and international entrepreneurs, industrials and personalities from the entertainment world, soon became passionate about his handmade jewellery creations. In 1994 the store moved to Largo A. Sarti 1, in the Flaminio district. With the arrival of his son Gianluca, a high-end and artisan watchmaking lover, Cristilli introduced the most exclusive watch brands, always offering the same professionalism and expertise.

Authenticity & Warranty
Service, Warranty & After-sales
One of the 3 founders of the revived Czapek, Sebastien, is a watchmaker expert in Timepieces After-Sales servicing, and we have put it as a central element of our long-term success. All Czapek Genève timepieces, sold through retail partners or directly, come with a 3 years international product warranty, one year more than the usual practice in the industry. Our watchmaker will personally take care of your After-Sales inquiries and will give you a prompt answer (10 days) regarding the servicing of your watch. On top of our own After-sales commitment, we have taken an extra commitment with Chronode, which will provide the movement after-sales components and repair service to our customers for a period of 15 years after the last order we make.
Servicing
Preserving your Czapek For all mechanical timepieces, good maintenance is key to guarantee the long life of your Czapek. In order to ensure this, we recommend your Czapek be serviced every 4-5 years. In order to minimize wear of your Czapek we recommend the following:
- The Czapek Quai des Bergues and Place Vendôme collections are manually wound. Wind them until you meet significant resistance. Avoid over-winding the crown when winding. When the watch has reached maximum wind, the crown encounters severe resistance to further winding. Stop at this point. Be sure to follow the instructions of your timepiece.
- The Czapek Timepieces have a water resistance of 3 atmos (30 meters) for the gold versions and 5 atm (50 meters) for the Titanium and steel versions. Alligator straps are not water-resistant and will get torn quickly if you use your piece during aquatic activities. We recommend using our rubber strap for these activities, keeping in mind that diving activities should be done with diving watches.
- Avoid extreme temperature changes (above 50C or below -10C) as it might affect the metal components.
- Your timepiece is shock-resistant for everyday use, such as knocks and bumps. However, we strongly advise against exposing your Czapek to heavy shocks (such as might be encountered in sports).
- Avoid direct contact with chemical agents such as detergents and cosmetics, as they may negatively affect your watch or bracelet.
Contact details for Servicing your Czapek
We recommend you contact us directly, then send us your watch. Please find our contact information on the top of this page. Your watch will be serviced by our own technicians.
