This watch is nice looking
Apr 12, 2022,16:03 PM
But I really don't understand the craze around it. It looks like any other steel sports watch. The movement is interesting, that I will concur with. But there are design features of this watch which are flawed, in my opinion, like the way the endlinks of the bracelet aren't flush with the case when you wear it on the wrist. Small things like that really detract from the overall appeal, in my opinion.

What's QTP?
I wish them best of luck!

I would say - those models look way better in pictures than in real life. So we are talking about hype rather than watchmaking, but hopefully they would take advantage of the cash inflows to do more interesting stuff down the line.
I concur!

I was thinking of getting one last year, went to try it on and decided against it.
Total Marketing Move.

Isn’t this a press release? Czapek just wants to advertise the fact that their watches are selling well. And there’s a segment of the watch buyer population who buys on hype. Myself included sometimes. I’m not immune. Total human being here. That being sa...
Indeed Patrick

Honestly only few collectors were, and currently are, interested in their classic guillochè models. The Antarctique is indeed a nice sporty watch with a jaw dropping movement, but it follows the current trend. Likely they don't want to become a single-ref...
Makes total sense!

I concur with your analysis. And yes. Those movements are amazing! They really speak to me! The bracelet of this one, not my cup of tea.

Understood.

I wasn’t aware
That’s perfect.

That makes me feel a lot better about the brand. Thank you for sharing
A good product will create a demand.
By: jp884 : April 12th, 2022-16:39
It’s that simple. Would we rather all just have them continue taking orders and not be able to fulfill them? Doing so would compromise quality and thus be more of detriment to the brand than just saying we are sorry we can’t take any more orders at this t...
Indeed I did.

I sold them all probably about 6 years ago. If my memory serves me correctly sold that Jumbo's for about ~$15k each and the AP Jumbo perp skeleton in ss for $42k. I remember when the AP perp skeleton in PT would sit all day for months if not years at $80K...
That's true.

The egalitarian nature of indies is refreshing.

I liked the Czapek x Fratello and x Monochrome
By: christianch : April 12th, 2022-20:12
but were instantly sold out. I don't know if I would have committed as the price is pretty step but the market appetite for sport watches with integrated bracelet is just very strong. A year ago you could find a lot of Laureato available in store, now is ...
Price to quality ratio?
By: icecube4000 : April 13th, 2022-03:42
A genuine question. Those who think the pride to quality ratio is high, have you handled or seen the watch? I am really curious. I have two friends who have an Antarctique. One has an Overseas and Royal Oak whereas the other has an Overseas and Green Stre...
I didn't comment on the quality but..
By: christianch : April 13th, 2022-08:35
you asked "have you handled or seen the watch?" I didn't because they have no AD here in...Switzerland. I am glad they are successful (I did admire the Fratello collaboration and a bit the Monocrome too) but I wasn't 100% sure because 1) you had to pay bi...
