Watch Info
Manufacturer: Czapek & Cie.
Model: Quai des Bergues No.25s
Condition: Excellent (Pre-Owned)
Reference: No.25s (Ref. CZQDB25S)
Year: 2023 (Warranty Papers) / 2024 (Service Papers)
Box: Yes
Papers: Yes (Complete with 2023 Original Warranty and 2024 Service Documentation)
Accessories: Complete Set. Includes Czapek wooden presentation box, Certificate of Origin, manual, and the official 2024 service receipt ensuring the movement is in peak mechanical health.
Notes: The Quai des Bergues No.25s is the "distilled" essence of the Czapek revival. Inspired by Francois Czapek’s 1850 pocket watch Ref. 3430, this Limited Edition (often limited to 100 total pieces or 10 per year) features a breathtaking Black Grand Feu Enamel dial. Crafting black enamel is notoriously difficult as the slightest speck of dust or bubble results in a rejected dial; this example from Donzé Cadrans is a masterpiece of depth and luster.
Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Excellent. This timepiece has been cared for by a meticulous collector. Having returned from a 2024 factory/authorized service, the watch is mechanically perfect and visually stunning.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The deep, "ocean-black" Grand Feu enamel dial is pristine. The white Roman numerals provide a crisp, permanent contrast. The signature white gold Fleur-de-Lys hands are flawless. The curved sapphire crystal is free of any marks or AR-coating scratches.
Case & Bezel: The 38.5mm "Revolution" case in XO Stainless Steel (a high-performance, corrosion-resistant alloy) is in excellent condition. It retains its sharp, scalloped flanks and high-polish finish. Only the faintest superficial hairlines from light wear are present on the case sides.
Strap & Clasp: Fitted on the original Czapek alligator strap, which remains in great shape with plenty of life. The XO steel pin buckle is secure and shows minimal wear.
Technical Specifications
Reference: No.25s (38.5mm)
Case Material: XO Stainless Steel
Dial: Black Grand Feu Enamel by Donzé Cadrans
Movement: Calibre SXH1 (Proprietary Manual-Wind, developed with Chronode)
Power Reserve: 7 Days (168 Hours) via two barrel-springs
Frequency: 21,600vph
Notable Details: Combined Power Reserve and Weekday indicator at 4:30, sandblasted bridges, hand-chamfered edges, and a secret signature on the enamel dial.
Why the No.25s is an Independent Powerhouse
Czapek is a leader in the "Horizontal Manufacture" movement, collaborating with the best specialists in Switzerland. The No.25s is the perfect example of this philosophy: it features a dial from Donzé Cadrans and a movement from Chronode. The 7-day power reserve is not just a technical feat; it’s a romantic nod to the era when owners would wind their watches once a week before Sunday service.
In the March 2026 market, interest in independent watchmaking has never been higher. A black enamel Quai des Bergues is a "if you know, you know" piece—understated in steel but housing a movement and dial finish that rivals watches three times its price. With the 2024 service papers included, this is an "investment-grade" daily wearer that bypasses the long lead times often associated with Czapek's limited productions.
