Moonphase in rose gold

Frederique Constant enthüllt im Juni die bis dato exklusivste Version der ›Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture‹. Zum ersten Mal ist das Gehäuse des Uhrwerks aus massivem Roségold gefertigt. Zu diesem Anlass bietet Frederique Constant nun 150 nummerierte Exemplare an.

The model impresses with its timeless elegance and is based on the codes of traditional luxury watchmaking. With three hand-cut, central hands on a silver-colored dial with a fine sunray finish and a moon phase at 6 o’clock, which is cleverly combined with a date display. Powered by the brand-new Manufacture FC-716 movement, the Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture is independent of fashion and remains suitable for all generations.

For 35 years, mechanical excellence has been at the heart of Frederique Constant’s creations. And the Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture is no exception. However, it could not go on sale earlier because it is equipped with a completely new manufacture movement. This FC-716 caliber is the result of a long development process and a great deal of experience acquired with patience over the decades. To date, Frederique Constant has produced 22 of its own movements – behind every single caliber was the desire to perfect the essence of mechanical watchmaking in terms of quality, precision and reliability, without forgetting the Manufacture’s guiding principle of affordability for as many people as possible.

The Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture is the first watch in the FC-716 series to be made of 18K rose gold. This precise and precious Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture continues the long line of timepieces with two iconic complications, the date display and the moon phase. At first glance, the two appear very different. The former moves clearly and visibly every day. The latter, however, moves more subtly and is invisible to the naked eye. The moon phase is linked to an astronomical cycle but is hardly needed in everyday life. With its poetry and fidelity to the history of watchmaking, the new Classic Moonphase offers a gentle aesthetic, inspires the imagination and invites you to escape from everyday life.
