Blue Fumé Timepieces

Czapek Promenade Transparencies Aqua Blue is a Limited Skeletonized Watch

Czapek Promenade Transparencies Aqua Blue is limited to 38 pieces, pairing a smoked sapphire crystal dial with a blue fumé gradient that reveals the skeletonized movement beneath. Housed in a 38mm stainless steel case measuring 10.8mm thick, the watch features hand-applied hour markers made from solid blocks of light blue Super-LumiNova. Its automatic Calibre SXH7 uses seven openworked bridges inspired by François Czapek’s 19th-century pocket watches, with a reversed escapement and off-center small seconds display positioned at 4:30.

The blue gradient comes from microscopic metallic dots applied to the underside of the sapphire, with their density increasing toward the edges to create an opaque perimeter while maintaining visibility through the center. The movement also features a micro-rotor machined from 100% recycled platinum, openworked ratchets, sandblasted bridges and hand-chamfered inward angles finished symmetrically across both sides. The watch is available for pre-order through Czapek’s Geneva flagship boutique, authorized retailers and website.
