Franciszek Czapek was a Polish watchmaker who immigrated to Switzerland and formed a company with Patek in 1839, in a partnership that lasted six years. In 1845, he founded a new company, Czapek et Cie, and became a patented supplier to the Empire. He opened a shop at 23 Place Vendôme in Paris and wrote a book on watchmaking. The rarity and precision of his pieces made him one of the most prestigious master watchmakers of the 19th century.
