Frederique Constant unveils five new round models in its Classics Art Déco collection. A return to the basics, Frederique Constant’s new launches are both contemporary and classic. The collection created 13 years ago and its success is attested on the wrist of the modern woman. Art Déco is an artistic movement formed in the 1910s. It reached its pinnacle in the 1920s. Thus, exactly a century later, Frederique Constant’s eponymous collection now has a brand-new interpretation. This new, 100% feminine model builds on over 10 years of watchmaking and stylistic achievements. Frederique Constant created the “Classics Art Déco” range in 2007.
Going against the fashion grain, it already showed the family house’s spirit of total independence. As a result, the trend was towards “oversize” and mixed watches. Despite this, Frederique Constant sought a timeless classicism, with a delicate and elegant collection. It was followed in 2013 by a daring oval variation. An assertive and distinguished silhouette still in the collection.
The Culmination Of A Style
Today, the round form is offered for the first time in the “Classics Art Déco” collection. Long-awaited by collectors and fans of fine watchmaking. This collection is the result of a thinking process of over ten years about the design, femininity and subtleness. Very often seen as the starting point of watch collections, the perfect circle for Frederique Constant, is a carefully considered style culmination.
The new Classics Art Déco Round line has appropriated the classic look of its elders. While
asserting itself as a timepiece of the age. Resolutely modern, the watch is above all feminine. With a very delicate casing of harmonious proportions and considerable finesse. Showing off to perfection the elegance of the wrists that it will adorn. For this purpose, the casing has also been slightly curved to perfectly fit the contour of the wrist.
A Large Range Of Finishes
Careful consideration has been given to the finishes of this new range with minute attention to detail. The casing of a delicate diameter of only 30 mm, has been grooved on its middle. It is in accordance with the strict standards of luxury watchmaking. On the dial, the hours and minutes are shown by needles. Hand refined and polished in the so-called “cored apple” style imposed by Breguet over 200 years ago. They glide over a dial guilloché from its centre outwards. Hence, diffusing the light towards the hours expressed in Roman numerals.
However, three of the five available models combine this guilloché sun with a mother-of-pearl outer dial. These soft reflections will animate a watch case in a steel or rose gold finish. As a result, each dial comes with its own strap available in either steel, steel / plated rose gold or blue satin, with a soft and silky feel. As a result, these two models complete their hint of glamour with a discreet mounting of 9 diamonds set into each horn. In addition to the cabochon in the crown of each model.
Designed for the everyday dress of modern, distinguished women, these models available from only 850 euros have a Frederique Constant quartz movement. Thus, offering 6 years of operation.
