For the second year running, Frederique Constant presents its new products at Watches and Wonders. These include two new in-house calibers with a 72-hour power reserve, and a new refined and sparkling model in the Classics collection.

 

CLASSIC DATE MANUFACTURE

Three new steel versions and a brand new Manufacture movement. It’s definitely still a Classic, but with some major new features: the Classic Date Manufacture now sports the new FC-706 Manufacture calibre with a 72-hour power reserve and a five-year warranty. The steel case has been resized to a slightly smaller 40 millimetres, a classy and classic diameter housing a new dial free from figures. Slim hour markers and a ‘railtrack’ minute circle encompass a sunburst dial finished in silver, black or salmon.

 

CLASSIC MOONPHASE DATE MANUFACTURE

Frederique Constant’s flagship Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture is restrained, elegant and contemporary, staying true to its traditional DNA even as the collection expands to include three new 40-millimetre variations endowed with the new Classic steel case, accompanied by a silver, blue or green dial. Designed for everyday wear – and for all lovers of Geneva’s watchmaking heritage – the timepiece features a new, uncluttered sunburst dial, sporting delicate hands powered by a new FC-716 movement. Developed in-house, the latter boasts a 72-hour power reserve.

 

CLASSICS ELEGANCE LUNA

The Classics Elegance Luna is the latest timepiece to be released in Frederique Constant’s Classics collection. In a major first for the Maison, the timepiece’s moonphase has been designed by the daughter of the Manufacture’s head of R&D. The moon in question is evocative of romance and intimacy: two half-moons embrace amid a mother-of-pearl dial housed in a 36-millimetre steel case. Four variations are offered, all powered by an automatic movement that tells the time atop new Roman numeral hour markers in colours matching the timepiece’s leather strap. All four models feature a jewel-set minute track; two also have a bezel set with jewels, making a total of 96 diamonds.
