Czapek is an official partner of The Watch Pages
Franciszek Czapek was born in 1881 in Semonice, Bohemia, which is nowadays the Czech Republic. At a young age, he emigrated to Poland with his family. He was forced to flee to Switzerland in 1832 following the collapse of the Polish uprising of which he was a member. By this time, he was already a talented watchmaker and soon opened his first watchmaking company, “Czapek & Moreau,” with a local partner, and changed his name to François.
