Like the two previous collections, this newcomer is named after a boutique opened by <strong>Fran\u00e7ois Czapek<\/strong> \u2013 in this case in 1850 and on one of Warsaw\u2019s most prestigious streets, Krakowskie Przedmie\u015bcie : Faubourg de Cracovie in French. It also houses the Maison\u2019s third movement, self-winding Caliber SXH3, developed by Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier and equipped with a column wheel and vertical coupling clutch. Remarkably balanced with its 30-minute and 12-hour counters horizontally aligned in the center and complemented by a small seconds subdial at 6 o\u2019clock carrying the date display, the blue dial features a concentric \u201cRicochet\u201d guilloch\u00e9 pattern rippling around the two large counters, like pebbles tossed into the water. Inspired by a motif used by<strong> Fran\u00e7ois Czapek<\/strong> himself and typical of the brand\u2019s Quai des Bergues models, this design appears in a larger version here, endowing the watch with a more contemporary and dynamic spirit emphasized by the red tip of the slender sweep-seconds hand. The Faubourg de Cracovie chronograph also comes in a black-guilloch\u00e9 \u201cDion\u00e9 &amp; Rh\u00e9a\u201d version or a more classic white \u201cGrand Feu\u201d enamel interpretation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the Quai des Bergues (Geneva) and Place Vend\u00f4me (Paris), Czapek &#038; Cie metaphorically whisks us off to the Faubourg de Cracovie to discover its first chronograph model.
