Just a quiet ripple of green on the wrist.

The beauty of the Promenade Goutte de Rosée doesn’t stop at the dial. Inside beats the SXH5 micro-rotor movement, crafted with unmistakable Czapek character.

A dial like dew at dawn: the new Promenade Goutte de Rosée in luminous green enamel.

29/05/2026

Moving from the blue dials of the original Goutte d’Eau to the green of the Rosée introduced a new layer of technical difficulty. The composition of green enamel can interact unpredictably with the silver substrate, causing adhesion problems and surface blemishes. Donzé Cadrans evaluated approximately ten different green enamel formulations before identifying one that offered both the right visual character and the necessary stability on silver. The high-relief topography of the dial compounded this challenge. On a standard guilloché base — with its shallow, consistent engraving depth — enamel application is relatively uniform. Here, artisans must ensure complete coverage across both the deep recesses and the high peaks of the relief, since any gap in the initial layers will produce dark streaks when the enamel contracts in the kiln. Building up the enamel evenly across such pronounced height differences requires considerable skill and experience: at Donzé Cadrans, only four craftspeople apply enamel to these dials with the required regularity, each having already logged years of work on Grand Feu white dials and standard transparent enamels before graduating to this technique.

“Promenade is our canvas for creative expression. With the Goutte de Rosée, we wanted to capture the fleeting beauty of nature at dawn. The warmth of yellow gold and the vitality of green enamel bring this vision to life in a way that feels utterly contemporary. And behind that beauty lies extraordinary craft: the rejection rates, the hours of hand-work, the particular chemistry of green on silver — these are not inconveniences; they are precisely what gives each of these 25 dials its character.” Xavier de Roquemaurel, CEO, Czapek & Cie

It starts with an animation retracing the life of François Czapek. It ends ten years later, with a manufacture that should not exist — and does.

An Unexpected Renaissance is now on YouTube. 50 minutes. The real story: the vision, the team, the partners, the collectors who believed early, the moments that nearly broke us, and the ones that made everything worth it. Filmed over a decade by Leo and Maxine of films, starting before we even relaunched in 2015.

We hope you'll trade one Netflix evening for this 😊

Something we have been working on for a long time is almost here. In November 2025, we celebrated ten years of watchmaking, entrepreneurship, struggles and passion — captured on film before we even knew what we were building. An Unexpected Renaissance will be out tomorrow on YouTube at 3pm CET.
