New from Czapek: Antarctique Révélation and Antarctique S Sashiko

Although textured dials are popular, the Sashiko distinguishes itself with its unique lotus motif, which has a charming and romantic appearance that diverges from the traditional, serious guilloche pattern. Furthermore, the elegant flowery design features multiple facets that resemble the sparkling cuts of a diamond, adding a subtle glamor to this timepiece.

The Sashiko is clever not only for the flowery motif, but also how other elements work in harmony. The chapter ring, for instance, features the same flowery pattern, creating a subtle two-tone effect when paired with the circularly brushed ring for the hour markers. This adds more depth to the dial, unlike a dial entirely embossed with the same pattern, which could appear flat.
