A watch industry first. Before anyone has seen the Czapek Antarctique Révélation Skeleton in real life, we, The Real Time Show, along with the inimitable assistance of Xavier de Roquemaurel, had the chance to describe the watch to artist Ben Li (@Inkdial on Instagram), who was tasked with drawing it from our description alone…

How did he do? You can find out on Monday the 27th of April when the watch is announced to the world. In the meantime, it looks something like this…

This 40mm watch has a titanium case and bracelet (brushed), water-resistance to 120m, a price tag of CHF38,000 before taxes, and an annual production limit of 100 pieces. Orders are being taken from April 1st 2023 at all Czapek retailers and the Czapek boutique, and deliveries will commence early 2025. 

You can follow the participants of this discussion on Instagram @robnudds, @alonbenjoseph, and @davaucher.
