The Czapek Time Jumper replaces conventional hands with a 24-hour jumping-hour display on two overlapping sapphire discs, with the minutes shown on a ring around the edge of the dial. Made for the tenth anniversary of the Czapek name’s revival, it pairs that unconventional display with an opening half-hunter cover that reveals the movement beneath a sapphire crystal.
How the Czapek Time Jumper displays the time
The hour appears in a window formed by two overlapping sapphire discs. It jumps forward once every 24 hours, while a peripheral ring indicates the minutes. Czapek describes the two-disc arrangement as a patent-pending mechanism. The design takes inspiration from François Czapek’s 19th-century pocket watches; the anniversary model translates that historical reference into a modern wristwatch.

A pusher at six o’clock opens the half-hunter cover. Closed, the cover protects the unusual time display; open, it exposes the movement through a sapphire crystal. Foundation Haute Horlogerie also describes the display and cover reveal in its jumping-hour overview.
Calibre 10.01 and key specifications
The automatic, in-house Calibre 10.01 is the first expression of Czapek’s Calibre 10 movement family. The brand says the jumping-hour complication is integrated into the movement’s design rather than added as a module. Czapek’s published specifications include a recycled 950-platinum central rotor, a single barrel, Swiss lever escapement and a variable-inertia balance with four gold inertia blocks.

| Specification | Czapek-published detail |
|---|---|
| Movement | Automatic, in-house Calibre 10.01 |
| Parts and jewels | 275 parts; 44 jewels |
| Frequency | 4 Hz |

There is a published power-reserve discrepancy worth noting: Czapek specifies 55 hours, while Japanese distributor Noble Styling Co., Ltd., in an announcement dated 2025-11-13, gives approximately 60 hours. These are conflicting attributed figures, not a basis for treating the reserve as a single confirmed number. The 3 atm rating is limited; the watch should not be presented as suitable for swimming.

Czapek announced two limited editions. Their core display and movement are shared; the case material, quantity and published launch prices differ.
| Edition | Case | Quantity | Czapek-published price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stainless steel | Stainless steel with white-gold guilloché inlay | 100 pieces | CHF 42,000 before tax |
| 3N yellow gold | 3N 18-carat gold with guilloché inlay | 30 pieces | CHF 64,000 before tax |
Both releases list a blue rubber strap and sapphire crystals. The prices above are Czapek’s published launch figures before tax, not a guarantee of current availability or the price of a transaction.
Price and where to enquire
For a separate regional reference, Noble Styling Co., Ltd.’s Japanese announcement dated 2025-11-13 lists indicative tax-included prices of ¥11,550,000 for steel and ¥16,830,000 for gold. Those Japan-specific, tax-inclusive figures are not direct equivalents to Czapek’s Swiss prices before tax.
Czapek’s Time Jumper product listing provides a reservation or quotation route, and the brand also identifies boutique and designated-retailer channels. Ask Czapek or an authorized retailer to confirm current allocation and pricing for your market.
Is a watch winder necessary?
The Time Jumper is automatic: Czapek says it can be wound by wrist motion or with a winder. A watch winder is therefore an optional convenience for someone who rotates among watches, not an established requirement. The brand’s information does not specify a setting or confirm compatibility with a particular winder.
