The Art Deco Spirit Enlivens The Frederique Constant Classics Carree Small Seconds

Evoking the glamourous vibe of the 20's and 30' fondly remembered as the art Deco period, Frederique Constant launches a new iteration of the Classics Carree Small Seconds.

The rectangular case houses a dial with an equally rectangular minute track, and a small independent seconds hand at 6 o’clock. This is offset from the main dial by a slight recess. The hour markers—written in Roman numerals— run parallel to the sector-dial minute track, a typical feature of watches during the Interwar years. The same is true of the onion crown, which pays homage to the pocket watches that these wrist-worn timepieces were gradually relegating to the annals of history.

Each watch features a quartz calibre providing more than two years of battery life (25 month), guaranteed. This ensures perfect precision and the lasting peace of mind to wear—or not— your watch to suit your needs, without having to worry about resetting the time.
