5 min read
Luxury watchmaker Frederique Constant is celebrating 35 years of Swiss watchmaking excellence in 2023 with an exciting new release - the Classic Power Reserve Big Date Manufacture at Geneva Watch Days 2023. Housed in a refined 40mm case, this timepiece debuts Maison's 31st in-house manufactured movement, bringing useful complications and mechanical ingenuity together in a vintage-inspired design.
Available in four variations, the 40mm watch features a well-balanced dial with a 50-hour power reserve indicator at 9 o'clock, oversized big date windows between 2 and 3 o'clock, and a poetic moonphase display at 6 o'clock. The time and calendar functions are adjustable via the crown, with no pushers required.
The platinum model comes on a navy blue alligator strap complementing the dial, while the rose gold version has a brown strap. Both limited editions have an exhibition caseback providing a view of the new Manufacture's calibre.
Alongside the special editions, two additional variations with stainless steel cases and blue dials on blue alligator straps will join Frederique Constant's core collection. One has a silvery brushed dial, the other sunburst blue.
The new Classic Power Reserve Big Date Manufacture continues Frederique Constant's tradition of offering Swiss-made mechanical watches with useful complications at accessible prices. The brand now has 30 manufacture calibres powering its collections, including innovations like a silicon escapement and monolithic oscillator beating at 40Hz.
As it embarks on its fourth decade creating authentic Swiss watches, Frederique Constant reaffirms its place as a rising star in the watchmaking universe.
