Introducing Frederique Constant Unveils Three New Versions of the Manufacture Collection

The Manufacture collection represents the Frédérique Constant highest level of craftsmanship, featuring calibers developed and assembled entirely in-house at its Geneva-based facility. In its latest release, the brand has introduced three new models within the Manufacture line, each offered in different materials and dial configurations, the "Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture".

The new Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture models feature refined 40 mm cases offered in either polished stainless steel or 18k yellow gold. Designed with slimmer lugs and a modest profile measuring 12.1 mm for the steel version and 12mm for the gold version in thickness.

The versions are equipped with convex sapphire crystals featuring anti-reflective coating and transparent sapphire casebacks, revealing the in-house movement. Calendar functions are adjusted via discreet pushers integrated into the caseband, maintaining a clean silhouette. Water resistance is rated at 50 meters for the steel variants and 30 meters for the gold edition.

The dials of the new models emphasize clarity, refinement, and balanced design. The stainless steel editions are available with silvered or blue sunray-finished dials that diffuse light evenly across the surface, enhancing the applied hour indices and hand-polished Dauphine hands. In contrast, the limited-edition gold model features a deep black onyx dial, offering a striking visual contrast against the warm tone of the 18k yellow gold case.

Across all versions, the Perpetual calendar layout remains consistent, with subdials for the date, day, and month including a leap-year indicator at 3, 9, and 12 o’clock, respectively, and a moonphase display positioned at 6 o’clock. A subtle sector-style minute track and applied indices frames the dial, while the recessed subdials add a sense of depth and classical elegance to the overall composition.

Powering all three new models is the in-house calibre FC-776, an automatic movement developed and manufactured entirely by Frédérique Constant. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz), the FC-776 delivers a robust 72-hour power reserve, an upgrade from the previous FC-775 calibre.

It supports full perpetual calendar functionality, including displays for the day, date, month, leap year, and moonphase, with adjustments handled via discreet recessed pushers on the case. The movement is finely decorated with perlage and Côtes de Genève finishing and is visible through a sapphire exhibition caseback.

All three new models are fitted with black or blue alligator leather straps, secured by a folding deployant clasp crafted in stainless steel or matching gold. The 18k yellow gold version is limited to just 37 pieces and is priced at CHF 29,995, which is equivalent to approximately AED 138,000, while the stainless steel editions are available at CHF 9,995 which is equivalent to approximately AED 46,000.
