dial design
The charm of a watch lies not only in its precise travel time function, but also in the rich information it carries. The Swiss brand Frederique Constant (FC) has recently launched three new century-old elegant perpetual calendar watches with its own movement that achieve this, taking into account both aesthetics and practicality.
These three watches all have a very exquisite dial with a very unique dial design. Each has a small dial at 3, 9, and 12 o’clock to indicate the date, week, month, and leap year respectively. The 6 o’clock position displays the moon phase, so that the wearer can easily grasp the passage of time and the change of months.
The most eye-catching thing is the see-through case back design. Although the movement of the watch is not the best in the world, it is still very delicate at first glance, especially the balance wheel and hollow gears, which make people feel the watchmaker’s intention. The see-through case back is not only beautiful, but also displays the exquisite craftsmanship of the movement, which undoubtedly adds a lot of collection value to those who like to collect watches.
Wear it on various occasions
In terms of appearance design, the new watch takes into account the wearer’s comfort and will not cause discomfort even if worn for a long time. This is very important for people who often need to wear watches. Two of the new watches use stainless steel cases with blue (model FC776N3H6) or silver (model FC776S3H6) dials. The other model uses 18K gold to create a case with a black onyx (model FC776ONB3H7) dial.
The new watch has a diameter of 40 mm, a thickness of 12.1 mm for the stainless steel model, and a thickness of 12.25 mm for the 18K gold model. The stainless steel model is waterproof to a depth of 50 meters, while the 18K gold model is waterproof to a depth of 30 meters. Both watches are equipped with convex anti-reflective coated sapphire mirrors, which greatly improves readability.
A total of three new watches have been launched. Two stainless steel models are equipped with blue alligator leather straps, priced at 9,995 euros; while the 18K gold model is equipped with a black alligator leather strap, limited to 37 pieces, and priced at 29,995 euros. Although the gold model is expensive, its limited edition nature may attract more attention from high-end consumers.
Affordable luxury timepieces
This series of watches was released as early as 2016. The news released at that time also caused quite a stir, because this series was Frederique Constant’s first attempt at the design concept of affordable luxury timepieces. Although the price was not lowered into the range of civilian consumption, compared to other luxury brand watches on the market, this price is still very friendly.
The new watch launched this time can be said to be an improvement on the original series. It not only upgrades the movement, but also makes many adjustments to the appearance design, which is more in line with the aesthetics of modern consumers.
Conclusion
In short, this new watch is very good in terms of design and practicality, especially the affordable price, which allows more people to enjoy the charm of luxury timepieces.
