The house of Frederique Constant introduces two new dial options to its Classic Manufacture collection.
The house of Frederique Constant introduces two new dial options to its Manufacture Classic collection. This renowned range of classically elegant timepieces is powered by in-house automatic movements, which Frederique Constant started to develop in 2004. Ever since then, the brand has been producing in-house Manufacture Calibers first for the Heart Beat Manufacture collection, and, since 2008, for its more affordable timepieces.
In 2012, Frederique Constant introduced the FC-710 caliber, as the entry piece for the Manufacture Collection. In 2016, the brand brings forward two new models, with a more vintage, art deco style.
The new Manufacture Classic models are offered in two variants, black and silver. This time, there is no guillochage visible, and printed Roman numerals feature a slimmer profile, which combined together adds up for a very classical look. The watches are crafted from stainless steel, and their elegantly round cases measure 42mm in diameter. A single crown, positioned at its traditional place, easily adjusts the hours, minutes, seconds, and even the date. Its 3-part case is water resistant to 50 meters of depth.
The case-back of the watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal, allowing the wearer to admire the automatic in-house developed FC-170 caliber. The self-winding mechanism beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and it offers about 42 hours of power reserve. The movement is finished according to the best decorative traditions of haute horlogerie, including perlage and circular Côtes de Genève decoration. In both of its renditions, the new Frederique Constantin Manufacture Classic retails at CHF 2,290 CHF.
