Specialist note

For the second time, Czapek & Cie. supports the fight against muscular dystrophy with a one-of-a-kind piece, the Faubourg de Cracovie Only Watch, a black onyx and striped chalcedony dial version of its audacious and charming sporty chronograph. Chalcedony is a light blue rare semiprecious stone with natural stripes.

The light blue hue pays tribute to the Only Watch 2019 official colour. The dial of the watch hosts the inscription "Courage every second", the same sentence that was "secretly" engraved on the enamel dial of the unique piece created by the Geneva-based brand for Only Watch 2017.

"Courage every second is now becoming Czapek’s signature to support Only Watch and the battle against this disease. It is a reminder of the purpose of our own life, of our passage on earth, and as well a way to let our heart beat in harmony with the kids suffering from this disease and their families" says Xavier de Roquemaurel, CEO of Czapek & Cie.

The 41.5 mm 5-grade titanium case with black ADLC® coating is fitted with a sapphire crystal glass-box. It is powered by the SXH3 caliber, a 5Hz, column-wheel, automatic chronograph movement that makes use of some of the most advanced and effective mechanical elements, like the linear hammer, which reduces wear and tear on parts and resets all the associated dials in one easy movement. A modern solution, the vertical clutch, ensures a perfect start for the chronograph hand.
