The Classics Moneta Solarmetre becomes the first reference from the Frederique Constant Manufacture to be equipped with the solar-powered FC-120 calibre, developed by La Joux-Perret Manufacture. Launched in 2024, the Classics Moneta collection is a pure exercise in style: its flange is inspired by the fluted edge of a coin — hence its name. Today, the complete invisibility of the solar process enhances its design. Technology fades into the background, autonomy becomes potentially perpetual, and innovation sets the Solarmetre models apart from their counterparts.

 

RETRO-MODERN 
AESTHETICS

All the retro-modern aesthetic codes are preserved: the slim case, the fluted flange, the two dauphine hands, and the faceted applied indexes. A date window allows the grained dial to breathe, its surface revealing nothing of the solar technology it conceals

 

MOVED BY
LIGHT

As long as there is light, the watch will run. In complete darkness, it guarantees 10 months of autonomy. Once exposed to light again, it needs only 10 seconds to restart. One minute of exposure is enough to recharge the energy required for a full day.

 

DISTINCTIVE
SIGNATURE

The new 39 mm case diameter and the collection’s first grained-effect dial, available in three versions: ice blue, burgundy, or cloud white. Each watch is delivered with both a leather strap and a Milanese mesh bracelet.
