Introducing The Czapek Place Vendôme Complicité Stardust Cobalt

The double regulator introduced in 2023 by Czapek is returning via the new limited edition Place Vendome Complicité Stardust Cobalt.

The watch features high accuracy thanks to its two balance wheels that feed a single barrel that provides 72 hours of power reserve.

The new Place Vendôme by Bernhard Lederer, like the previous one, features a pyramid layout on the dial, consisting of two golden balance wheels at 4:30 and 7:30 held by two V-shaped bridges that form the base of that geometric shape and close at the apex represented by differential gear at noon.

The watch now features heat-blue applied hour markers based on a brushed silver semi-falange between 4 and 8 o’clock that match the skeletonized hands with Super-LumiNova inserts. On the open-worked dial, we can also find a sapphire crystal bridge that extends from the hands base to noon, a minute/seconds rehaut, a centre seconds hand with a red tip and a power reserve indicator at 6 o’clock.

Housed in an 18k white gold case measuring 41.80mm in diameter and 13.30mm thick, it presents a polished and brushed finish, domed sapphire glass instead of the previous glass-box type, fluted crown with the brand’s signature, open case back and 50m water resistance.

We again find the hand-wound movement Calibre 8 developed in collaboration with Laderer with 293 components, which reaches 21,600 Vph and offers up to 3 days of power reserve.

The watch is attached to a black alligator leather strap with an 18k white gold folding clasp limited to 13 units and priced at €89,000 plus taxes.
