The Manufacture World Timer 40mm Limited Edition: Shared Excellence
Exclusive Collaboration
In 2004, Frederique Constant entered the elite circle of Swiss watchmaking brands by developing and producing its own in-house calibers. Faithful to this avant-garde spirit, the Maison teamed up with Watch Angels to create an exceptional limited edition: the Manufacture World Timer in 40mm. This exclusive timepiece was envisioned, designed, and developed hand-in-hand with the collectors’ community, offering a fresh, modern, and bold reinterpretation of one of our most iconic models.

Manufacture Caliber
Beating beneath the dial is the FC-718 Manufacture caliber, a self-winding mechanical movement fully developed, produced, finished, and assembled within our Geneva workshops. Composed of 139 parts and highly acclaimed by connoisseurs, its true engineering feat lies in its user-friendliness: the 24-time-zone worldtimer display and all other watch functions are intuitively adjusted using a single, unique crown.

Three-Dimensional Design
True to our reputation, this WA X FC special edition pushes the attention to detail to its absolute peak by injecting a genuine three-dimensional dimension into the watch. The case subtly combines delicate curves with sharp bevels. The striking contrast between the brushed surfaces and the polished bevels structures the timepiece across multiple levels, lending it a silhouette of absolute slimness and distinction.
Co-Innovation
“Since our founding, we innovate by collaborating with best-in-class partners. They are able to take us out of our comfort zone, which is necessary for experimentation,” notes Niels Eggerding, CEO of Frederique Constant. Rare in the world of haute horlogerie, this co-innovation approach with Watch Angels has placed the expectations of passionate enthusiasts at the very heart of the creative process. By choosing this limited edition, which marks the recent history of the Maison, you actively participate in the future of watchmaking innovation.
