FREDERIQUE CONSTANT DRESSES ITS MANUFACTURE TOURBILLON WITH A MOTHER-OF-PEARL DIAL FOR THE FIRST TIME

For the very first time, Frederique Constant is sublimating its Tourbillon Manufacture with a natural mother-of-pearl dial. This rare combination, housed in an elegant 39 mm case in 18-carat white gold, sheds new light on this emblematic watchmaking complication, which has been at the heart of our House since 2008.

A LIMITED EDITION OF 36 NUMBERED PIECES

Tourbillon and mother-of-pearl are an unusual combination. Soft and warm, it reveals subtle variations of grey and blue that enhance the purity of the 18-carat white gold case, the brilliance of the hand-applied hour-markers, the blued screws of the tourbillon with silicon escapement and the infinite nuances of the natural mother-of-pearl. An exceptional, radiant and luminous timepiece, only 36 individually numbered pieces will be produced.

The art of watchmaking is our passion, innovation is our mission, and the tourbillon is one of its finest interpretations” – Romain Valette, Watchmaker, Frederique Constant

MOTHER-OF-PEARL DIAL, A LUMINOUS FIRST

Frederique Constant is breaking new ground by adorning its Tourbillon Manufacture with a natural mother-of-pearl dial, an absolute first. This rare material offers unique variations of grey and blue under the light, enhancing the tourbillon’s blued hour-markers and screws. Each piece is a luminous and singular work of art.

A HEART OF FINE WATCHMAKING

At the heart of this timepiece, the FC-980 Manufacture calibre guarantees exceptional precision and reliability. Its silicon escapement is resistant to magnetic fields and temperature variations, offering 38 hours of power reserve. Visible from both the front and the back, this movement reveals Haute Horlogerie finishing, entirely assembled and finished by hand in our Geneva Manufacture.

CASE AND STRAP OF CHARACTER

The mirror-polished 39 mm case in 18-carat white gold is a precious showcase for iridescent mother-of-pearl. It is enhanced by a light blue alligator strap with folding clasp. This sophisticated minimalism, accentuated by the discreet ‘Frederique Constant – Genève – Swiss Made’ signature, highlights the quintessence of the dial and the complexity of the tourbillon.
