Czapek Quai des Bergues
I am seriously considering the Czapek Quai des Bergues as my next addition. Unfortunately, due to limited scale of operations, there is no authorized dealer where I am located. I would like to see one in the metal to decided which colour dial I would ultimately buy along with the size (42.5 vs 38.5).
Anyone from TRF own a Czapek? I'd like to hear from you and get your thoughts on the buying process and the ownership experience. |

Even if anyone here has one, given the cost, you’re just going to have to make the effort and take a trip to the nearest place that has one for you to see and try on.
Only then, will you truly know which version/size suits you best. I’ve known about this brand since it first appeared, but I still remain unconvinced by the power reserve indicator – numbers, not days, makes the most sense. I suppose, and it’s a big stretch, that if you sync’d it on winding, then it could indicate the day of the week, but most of us don’t forget that, the date is more likely – so it’s still not particularly useful, and therefore only serves to confuse. |

It was however a smart way to double up power and day indicator without adding unnecessary additional wheels etc to the movement. And I do like the two sub-dials. I've had it on the wrist, and was more impressed in the metal actually than in the pictures. It was the smaller size, my preference. Nice case construction, and a number of different finishes on the case add more interest. |
