Frédérique Constant's new Classic TourbillonManufacture is a limited edition of just 36 pieces in a 39mm white gold case with an aventurine dial. Featuring Constant at 6 o'clock, this watch features Constant heartbeat aperture and is designed to satisfy the discerning collector looking for a timeless timepiece. The dial design is inspired by celestial domes, reminding the wearer that the clock is "a product of astronomy". Technologically advanced and poetic, the watch is sure to leave an indelible mark on Frédérique Constant's most popular collections.
The tourbillon is a rare complication, and this tourbillon with its own movement, designed entirely by Frédérique Constant at the centre of Geneva's watchmaking centre, is even rarer. In addition, this limited edition (36 pieces) also features an aventurine dial.
The new century-old elegant in-house movement tourbillon aventurine watch is a true collector's item. This is not only because of the craftsmanship it is made with, but also because of the high-performance in-house movement. Frédérique Constant watchmakers offer traditional Haute Horlogerie creations that meet the highest standards of finishing in Geneva.
While maintaining the authentic, ancient tradition of Haute Horlogerie, the many exquisite finishes do not obscure the modernity of the high-precision movements. The FC-980-4 self-winding movement features a silicon escapement, a material that is a symbol of precision and performance that protects the escapement from temperature changes or from tiny magnetic fields such as speakers, computers, fasteners and mobile phones.
Appearance and performance are complemented by superior performance. The aventurine dial is 100% handmade, and no dial is exactly the same, making each watch unique. The escapement is revealed at 6 o'clock, and the limited edition number is engraved in gold letters on the bridge. It's the famous heartbeat window that has been a signature aesthetic element of Frédérique Constant for over 30 years.
The seconds hand rotates inside the tourbillon, and the hand indicating the hour and minute moves in the center of the dial. These hands, like every mark that slips through, are polished. This extraordinary timepiece has a diameter of only 30 mm and is presented on a blue leather strap.
