Collection
Place Vendôme
The Place Vendôme is a collection dedicated to exceptional watchmaking projects. From its first models, the “Tourbillon Suspendu Ici et Ailleurs” featuring a tourbillon and a second time zone indication, to the double escapement “Complicité” in collaboration with Bernhard Lederer, this line celebrates the best of fine watchmaking.
COMPLICITÉ
Czapek & Cie launches Place Vendôme Complicité, a unique reinterpretation of a double escapement combination initially created in 1930 and very rare in wristwatches. Two independent escapements beat at their own pace, with any rate variations balanced by a differential at 12 o’clock, all beautifully laid out on the dial side.
TOURBILLON ICI ET AILLEURS
The Place Vendôme “Ombres” is driven by the proprietary, manually wound SXH2 movement beating at 21,600 vph (3 Hz). The single barrel spring delivers a solid 60 hours of power. The 34.8-millimeter diameter is relatively large, but the height of 9.8 millimeters allows the watch to be discreet and elegant in spite of the many functions. The traditional satin-brushed bridges and openworked ratchet are back again. In the back of the watch is an inscription: Tourbillon suspendu – Ici et Ailleurs, a reference to the second time zone, a gift to global travelers that Czapek himself never knew.
