Revolution’s 20th anniversary sent founder Wei Koh back to the Czapek watch he had admired since 2023, and this time he helped remake it.
Czapek and Revolution today introduce the Antarctique Révélation Spectrum, a 20-piece collaboration marking three anniversaries at once. It celebrates Revolution’s 20th, Czapek’s 10th since its 2015 revival, and the house’s 180th since its 1845 founding.
The idea, Revolution says, was to use the skeletonised Antarctique Révélation as a canvas. Super-LumiNova now covers nearly every visible surface of the movement’s bridges, in white, a first for Czapek, paired with blue-lumed hands. By day the dial keeps its usual greys; after dark, the whole movement glows. The steel case measures 40.5mm across.
“The caliber’s finger bridges have been transformed into architectural, flying buttress-like structures — so striking that we felt they deserved to be highlighted, even at night,” says Wei Koh. Revolution’s founder co-created the watch with Czapek.
By day, it reads like any Antarctique Révélation; the difference only shows once the room goes dark.
