Frédérique Constant Classic Power Reserve Big Date Manufacture Platinum Meteorite | 2022-2023
Frederique Constant proudly unveils its thirty-first Manufacture caliber, the FC-735, in a brand new creation: the Classic Power Reserve Big Date Manufacture. Housed in a 40mm case, this innovative movement produced by the Geneva-based brand in its 35th anniversary year boasts three complications: power reserve (50 hours), big date and moon phase, all adjustable via the crown at 3 o’clock.
Limited to 35 pieces to celebrate Frederique Constant’s 35th anniversary, this model offers an exclusive combination of a platinum case made of the highest quality – 95% of pure platinum – and a dial made of natural blue meteorite from Namibia set on a navy blue alligator strap matching the dial color. Every meteorite fragment being unique, each timepiece has thus a different story to tell.
The power reserve indicator is shown at 9 o’clock by a slim, dedicated hand travelling along an arc marked out from 0 to 50, ending in a red zone warning that it’s time to wind the watch before it stops. Opposite, between 2 and 3 o’clock, the big date proudly displays its encircled double window (one for tens and the other for units). This perfect balance is further highlighted by a radiant, poetic moon phase at 6 o’clock on a starry blue background.
With no pushers, correctors or styluses, the FC-735 movement is resolutely modern. The three complications are harmoniously arrayed within the brand’s classic 40mm case, which includes re-dimensioned lugs and profile, as well as slimmer hour markers. The latter, together with the hands, are diamond-faceted and hand-polished. The case also sports an open back, allowing each collector to admire the inner workings of their new FC-735 Manufacture caliber.
