A chic, elegant timepiece that evokes the 1920s while offering a touch of modernity.A return to the rootsSince its creation in 1988, the Frédérique Constant brand has pursued a simple objective: to create quality Swiss watches at an affordable price and democratize Swiss Made luxury watchmaking. To achieve this, it offers watches with pure lines and meticulous finishing, all powered by reliable, high-performance Swiss calibers. For this year, the Genevan Manufacture revisits its timeless model with a more modern, stronger, more contemporary design.Original, timeless aesthetic codesJust a century ago, in the 1920s – 1930s, watchmaking was breaking free from the round case to invent square and rectangular shapes.The 36×25.20 mm rectangular case encloses a silvered dial with an equally rectangular minute track, where an independent small seconds is inserted at 6 o’clock. It is set off from the dial by a slight hollow. All around, the hours run in large Roman numerals, along a “sector dial” minute track typical of the Belle Époque. The same is true of their onion crown, a nod to the pocket watches that these wristwatches were slowly beginning to relegate to the back of history.This version is adorned with a calfskin leather strap with black crocodile pattern.MechanismThis timepiece is powered by a quartz caliber. It guarantees over two years of autonomy (25 months). This guarantees perfect precision and lasting peace of mind, so you can wear – or not wear – your timepiece as you please, without worrying about resetting the time.
