Czapek & Cie has announced the release of two new models for its Quai des Bergues guilloché “Ricochet” line. The unique Ricochet pattern in flinqué enamel on the dial is back, in two dazzling colours composed for Czapek by its partner Donzé Cadrans – the Sapphire Blue S and Emerald Green. The manually wound SXH1 calibre, with a seven-day power reserve, has been made over. The most visible change on the SXH1 is the extensive openwork, which clearly delineates a full-fledged three-quarter plate and exposes the geartrain. The bridge plate and balance bridge have also been hollowed out and seem to face each other like two shooting stars about to cross paths, giving the movement a more dynamic look. The mainplate now has a small triangular hole cut in the middle, a cursory distraction on the rhodium-plated, matt grey surface, like a beauty mark on a pale face.
