Franciszek Czapek (Czech: František Čapek, French: François Czapek) (1811-?) was a watchmaker, the partner of Antoni Patek in Patek, Czapek Co. Czapek was a naturalized Pole of Czech origin. He was born on April 4, 1811 in Semonice (now part of Jaroměř), Bohemia, the son of Jan Czapek and Catherine, née Walaschek. He took part in the Polish November Uprising as a soldier of the National Guard, in Warsaw. On July 1, 1832, he arrived in Geneva, where he gallicised his name, thus becoming François Czapek. Shortly afterward, he created the firm Czapek Moreau, along with a certain Moreau, from Versoix. On October 22, 1836, he married Versoix Marie, the daughter of clock and watchmaker Jonas Pierre François Gevril de Carouge (1777-1854).
