, , , , , 0

Frederique Constant has teamed up with Watch Angels, an angel-funded platform that collaborates with brands and designers, to introduce a revamped Worldtimer Manufacture. This limited edition luxury watch is more than just a new variant—it comes with a compact case and an updated dial layout, making it a standout piece in the Frederique Constant Worldtimer collection.

 

Refined Case Design & Dimensions

The new Frederique Constant Worldtimer Manufacture features a stainless steel case measuring 40.50mm in diameter and 13.40mm thick, making it more compact compared to its 42mm predecessors. The case boasts a brushed and polished finish, a smooth bezel, and a domed sapphire crystal for durability. A fluted crown at 3 o’clock carries the brand’s signature, while an open case back reveals the intricate movement. The watch also offers 50m water resistance, ensuring resilience in everyday wear.

 

Updated Dial with a Contemporary Look

Moving away from its previous world map motif, the revamped Worldtimer Manufacture dial features a navy blue background with a sunburst-finished central disc and a crosshair design. Rhodium-plated faceted indexes and hands enhance its elegant aesthetic, while a white minute track adds clarity. The watch introduces an updated matte blue rotating 24-hour disc, with noon marked by a polished gold sun and midnight represented by a polished and sandblasted silver moon. An outer ring displaying 24 cities ensures effortless GMT functionality.

 

Powered by the In-House Calibre FC-718

At its heart, the Frederique Constant Worldtimer retains its in-house Calibre FC-718 automatic movement. This self-winding movement comprises 139 components, beats at 28,800 Vph, and offers a 38-hour power reserve. The movement is beautifully showcased through the open case back, featuring a gold-plated skeletonized rotor.

 

Limited Edition with Premium Craftsmanship

Limited to just 718 pieces, a nod to its movement number, this new Worldtimer Manufacture is paired with a black handmade rough leather strap, secured by a stainless steel folding clasp. The watch is priced at CHF 4,490, slightly above its larger siblings, but justified by its exclusivity and refined design.

 

Final Thoughts

The collaboration between Frederique Constant and Watch Angels has resulted in a refined, limited edition Worldtimer that blends classic elegance with modern enhancements. Collectors and enthusiasts looking for a luxury world time watch with a sleek design and high-end craftsmanship will find this release an exceptional addition to their collection.
