Then read on!
Frederique Constant New World Time Zone Watch
Geneva watch brand Frederique Constant officially launches its new 40mm Worldtimer Manufacture (world time zone watch with self-made movement). This newly designed watch gives collectors another choice, which can satisfy both aesthetic appreciation and practical needs.
The perfect combination of movement and design
Shortly after the launch of the 42mm Classic Worldtimer Manufacture (a century-old elegant homemade movement world time zone watch), Frederique Constant released a new 40mm Worldtimer Manufacture. Two world time zone watches of different sizes complement each other. The new Worldtimer Manufacture is not only slimmer in size, but also more concise and fashionable in design, which is more in line with today’s people’s aesthetic concepts.
The Worldtimer Manufacture’s case is made of stainless steel, has a diameter of 40 mm and a thickness of only 10.7 mm, making it very comfortable to wear. The design of the case has smooth lines, including subtle curves and sharp bevels, combined with vertical brushed lugs and polished bezel, to create a slim visual effect.
In-house movement and Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship
The core of the watch is equipped with the FC718 world time zone movement. This is a brand new self-made movement assembled from 139 precision parts. It has multiple functions such as hours, minutes, 24 hours, world time display, day and night indication and time adjustment functions. All functions can be adjusted through the crown, which greatly improves the ease of use of the watch.
Looking through the sapphire crystal underwater, you can clearly see the exquisite craftsmanship of the FC718 movement. The movement uses a variety of different decorative techniques, including Geneva corrugation, polishing, sandblasting, etc., demonstrating the excellence of Switzerland’s top watchmaking craftsmanship.
Watch Culture and Personalized Choice
The newly designed three-piece dial is clear and easy to read, improving the reading experience of 24 time zones. In the center of the dial is a large three-hand design. The hour and minute hands are polished. The city name pointing at 6 o’clock represents the current city. The 12 o’clock direction is a 24-hour scale, where 0-12 is day time and 12-24 is night time. This design method is very clever and avoids the confusion caused by simply using numbers to represent day and night.
The outermost circle is the 24 time zone city names, which represent 24 different time zones. Above these city names, there is a 24-hour circle indicating the day and night changes in 24 time zones. What is different from the past is that this watch uses a two-hemisphere design for the day and night display. The upper half is a polished sun, representing day; the lower half is a sandblasted crescent, representing night. The design is both clear and interesting.
The brand’s emphasis on watch culture
The launch of the Worldtimer Manufacture watch, in addition to its excellent performance and design, also reflects Frederique Constant’s emphasis on watch culture. As the founder of the brand said: “We hope to provide more personalized choices for watch collectors.” This sentence also applies to Worldtimer Manufacture.
The complexity and ease of use of the FC718 self-made movement make this watch an ideal choice for many collectors. It not only has a world time display function, but also is very easy to adjust, which makes it stand out among many world time zone watches. It is also a manifestation of the progress of modern watchmaking technology. It attracts not only watch collectors, but also a large number of people who love watches.
According to Frederique Constant, a watch should not just be a simple timekeeping tool, but also a product that combines culture, art, science and technology. Worldtimer Manufacture is the best embodiment of this concept.
