La Carte des Nuages, the latest version of Antarctique S, brings two of nature's finest components together in an haute horlogerie interpretation. Translated to "Map of the Clouds," Czapek's La Carte des Nuages is a dreamy masterpiece available in two finishes (shown in Stormy Grey with diamonds) and crafted from wafer-thin discs of elegant mother-of-pearl that captures the light with every turn of the wrist. Fine guilloché detailing is masterfully etched into the dial while Princess cut diamonds are set throughout each hour, culminating at 12 o'clock with a unique pair of "Antarctique" cut diamonds. A diamond set bevel, integrated lugs, and crown brings magnificent sparkle to the wrist, however a is an option. Also available in a Misty white mother-of-pearl version, or the extra diamond finishing.
The Stormy Grey/Stormy Grey Diamond will be available in a limited edition of 50 pieces. Deliveries will start in 2025.

Every facet of this watch was considered with great attention. Like other watches in this collection, an exclusive quick-change system allows the wearer to switch out straps in nearly the blink of an eye.
