There has been no shortage of crazy watches in 2025, but I think Czapek’s new 10th Anniversary watch takes the cake.
Celebrating 10 years of modern Czapek — and 180 years since the once-obscure watch company first existed in its short-lived original form — the new Time Jumper takes inspiration from pocket watches created by the brand’s founder in the 19th century, but blasts the concept into the future both visually and mechanically.
The Time Jumper features a brand-new movement, a new case, a new complication, a new guilloché pattern … let’s just say there’s a whole lot that’s new about this watch. And the way it’s put together is absolutely insane.
Jump in the time
There’s a ton going on with the Time Jumper, all of it very cool, so let me touch on the movement first before getting into the case and the unique ways in which time is displayed in the watch.
The movement is a new in-house calibre from Czapek, Cal. 10.1, which, in basic terms, is a jumping-hour automatic. But it’s more than that. The jumping hour complication is executed in a patent-pending 24-hour format, so that two digits are always displayed when showing the time. The hour discs are made of transparent sapphire and are mounted side by side so the current hour is displayed in the center of the dial.
