PLACE VENDÔME COMPLICITÉ "Harmoney Blue"

As always at Czapek, the creation of the Place Vendôme Complicité has been as much a human story as a technical and artistic one. As a fundamental value, Czapek defends the concept of établissage – the ecosystem of specialised workshops that once defined the entire watchmaking industry; this enables it to choose the most talented, independent specialists in each of the watchmaking crafts, bringing them together – as a conductor would unite musicians in an orchestra – to create exceptional timepieces. For Czapek, suppliers are also partners in creativity and this turned out to be decisive in Place Vendôme Complicité ever becoming a reality.
