Why we chose it

A note from the PRJKT8 team

We chose it because it is a driver’s chronograph with a real driver behind it. Czapek took the colours from the helmet of Jacopo Mazza, a young Swiss racer it supports, and the 5 Hz SXH3 inside can time a tenth of a second. Eighteen pieces, in 41.5 mm steel, on Alcantara or calf.
PRJKT8
The watch

Czapek took this chronograph’s black, silver and red from a racing helmet: the one worn by Jacopo Mazza, a young Swiss driver whose family has long been part of the Czapek circle.

The dial is the Crossroads guilloché, cut by hand at Metalem into Alloy 401, a blend of gold, platinum, palladium and silver, coloured deep black. Czapek says its wide, straight lines recall the tread of a racing tyre. A black tachymeter with a red dégradé runs round the edge.

Inside is the integrated SXH3 chronograph, which beats at 5 Hz: fast enough to time a tenth of a second, the margin Jacopo says a lap is won or lost by. Each one is a COSC-certified chronometer. Limited to 18 pieces.
