Frederique Constant Classic Date Manufacture Collection

Frederique Constant, the revered Swiss watchmaking maison, unveils a remarkable evolution in its Classic Date Manufacture collection. Three new steel iterations grace the collection, each adorned with a brand-new Manufacture movement, embodying the essence of traditional Fine Watchmaking while embracing a fresh stylistic and technical approach.

The hallmark of these new timepieces is refinement, reflected in their resized steel cases, now elegantly proportioned at 40 millimeters. This reduction in size not only aligns with contemporary preferences but also enhances the openness of the dial, showcasing a sunburst finish that exudes a perpetual, gentle gleam. Available in silver, black, or salmon, the dials exude sophistication, offering versatile options to suit diverse tastes.

At the heart of these timepieces lies the new FC-706 Manufacture calibre, boasting an impressive 72-hour power reserve. Derived from the FC-710, this movement ensures reliability and precision, beating at a rate of 4Hz. The redesigned bridges, adorned with decorations such as beading and fan-shaped Cotes de Genève finish, exemplify the brand’s meticulous attention to detail.

A minimalist spirit pervades the dial, where diamond-faceted applique hour markers and polished hands ensure intuitive time-telling. The absence of Roman or Arabic numerals allows aesthetic purity, while a ‘railtrack’ minute circle and an onion-type crown add subtle touches of sophistication.

Each model is paired with a luxurious alligator strap, carefully chosen to complement the color scheme of the dial. Whether it’s the chocolate-brown strap accentuating the salmon dial, the navy blue strap harmonizing with the silver sunburst dial, or the classic black strap juxtaposed with the all-black sunburst dial, every combination exudes remarkable elegance.

Founded in 1988, Frederique Constant has been synonymous with creativity, inventiveness, and mechanical ingenuity. With a collection of 33 calibres designed and assembled in its own Manufacture at Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva, the brand continues to push the boundaries of Swiss watchmaking while ensuring accessibility—a philosophy upheld since its inception.

As Frederique Constant introduces the Classic Date Manufacture collection, it reaffirms its commitment to excellence, with each tick of the hands, these exquisite timepieces invite wearers to embark on a journey where luxury meets pragmatism, and elegance transcends time.
