This is the latest addition to the Antarctique family - the Antarctique Purple Storm.

This is a limited edition of 18 pieces.

Per Czapek:

"The project began when Xavier de Roquemaurel, CEO of Czapek & Cie, discovered the work of an artist collaborating with Metalem who was creating uniquely hand-varnished dials. These dials were so original and distinctive that they did not dare offer them to any of the brands they worked with.

Each dial of the Purple Storm series is unique, and features a mesmerizing violet gradient crafted with precision and artistry. Individually created to capture the mood and depth of a natural storm, each dial evokes a sense of mystery and movement. As light touches the surface, swirling, layered shades of purple are revealed, reminiscent of storm clouds rolling across the sky."

The case measures 40.5 mm in diameter and is of stainless steel. The movement is Czapek's  Caliber SXH5.

The watch is secured by a stainless steel bracelet that utilizes Czapek's "Easy Release" system. It ships with an additional strap (purple alligator, or various rubber variations).

The full ask is 25,000 CHF., and it can be purchased via Czapek's reservation system.
