Geneva Watch Days 2025: Frederique Constant Unveils A Selection Of Accessible Perpetual Calendars And Classics Premieres

Frederique Constant continues to strengthen its reputation for creating timepieces that blend Swiss tradition with contemporary elegance. The brand introduces two noteworthy launches: the Classics Premiere, now offered in blue and salmon with an all-new steel bracelet, and the Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture, arriving in three refined versions that reinforce the maison’s commitment to accessible luxury.

The New Classics Premiere

Frederique Constant presents two brand-new Classics Premiere models, each showcasing the year’s signature dial colours—blue and salmon. For the first time, these timepieces are paired with a fluid, flexible stainless-steel bracelet and case combination, offering a fresh alternative to the earlier leather-strap versions. Measuring a compact 38.5 mm, the watch is designed to suit both men and women, appealing to seasoned collectors and first-time buyers alike.

A Tribute to the 1950s

The pastel shades of the new dials echo the elegance of mid-20th-century watchmaking. Bermuda grey and salmon pink have emerged as collector favourites at international watch fairs, celebrated for their understated charm and nod to the refined styles of the 1950s and 60s.

Every detail of the dial draws inspiration from vintage horology. Arabic numerals in a period-correct font, pomme-style hands, and a railtrack minute circle inspired by Art Deco all highlight Frederique Constant’s design savoir-faire. The dial’s matte-grained center contrasts with the sunray-finished hour circle, playing beautifully with the light.

Urban Elegance with a New Bracelet

These models also debut a new five-link bracelet, blending comfort with polish through its alternating brushed and mirror finishes. On the reverse, a sapphire caseback reveals the FC-301 automatic calibre, offering a 68-hour power reserve. This union of style and substance makes the Classics Premiere a versatile choice for everyday wear.

The Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture

The Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture, one of Frederique Constant’s flagship creations, returns in three new versions. Two are housed in stainless steel with blue or silvered dials, while a third, limited to just 37 pieces, is crafted in 18-carat yellow gold with a striking onyx black dial. Each model is set in a 40 mm case, embodying the maison’s dedication to making haute horlogerie complications attainable. 

The stainless-steel editions offer a contemporary yet timeless appeal, their sunray dials catching light in refined shades of blue or silver. The limited gold edition adds a touch of exclusivity, its black onyx dial exuding a bold and elegant presence. At the heart of all three models is the in-house FC-776 calibre, now enhanced with a 72-hour power reserve. The perpetual calendar functions—day, date, month, leap year, and moonphase—are thoughtfully arranged for legibility and ease of use, demonstrating both mechanical sophistication and practical refinement.

The Essence of Accessible Luxury

Remaining true to its mission, Frederique Constant offers these perpetual calendars at a price point that is rare in Swiss high watchmaking. The stainless-steel models are positioned below CHF 10,000, continuing the brand’s philosophy of “affordable luxury” without compromise on quality or craftsmanship.
