KIH shares an exclusive look at a personalized Czapek timepiece, delivered to a collector friend. This post highlights the intricate details and customization options that make Czapek watches stand out, particularly focusing on a Grand Feu enamel dial. KIH invites the community to appreciate the craftsmanship and unique features of this independent watchmaker's creation.
In spite of having seen quite some pictures of this watch, yours have shown some fascinating aspects I was not aware of - the scalloping of the case sides with the what looks like frosted finish, or the grand feu enamel dial up close. Very appealing for sure! Thanks for the added details
... White of the enamel dial should look as big as it should. Red 12h accent makes everything "click", and all blued hands with hand-bent tip are so hand made smell. Power reserve dial looks better in this "number" version as opposed to "day" version. The frosted finish of the hollowed side is another added beauty. Overall, with some customization cost, this is well worth unique piece. Oh, forgot to add - this came with COSC papers - normally, it is not but worth asking for as they might do with
I didn't know you can have it COSC certified! Very interesting
Thanks for sharing this cool watch Ken! I trust your friend will enjoy it very much! Definitely a cool combination of various finishing elements both within the movement and on the case!
The frost finishing on the side is actually "standard" but it's a cool feature. The movement finish is not "Dufour" level, but still very attractive to see and wouldn't get tired of watching it. The dial, case, both are truly worth long loupe looking time. Truly wonderful craftsmanship. And what is great is that this won't break your bank account! Ken
