Those who follow our pages and have a deep understanding of fine watchmaking know that\u00a0Frederique Constant\u00a0<\/strong>has been a brand that has performed extremely well since its inception in 1998. However, in recent years, it has made a clear leap in quality across its collections, both from a mechanical standpoint and in terms of design and choice of materials. The new\u00a0Classic Tourbillon Manufacture\u00a0<\/strong>with a mother-of-pearl dial is a synthesis of all the good work the brand is doing across all these areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Frederique<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

THE BALANCED PROPORTIONS OF THE\u00a0CLASSIC TOURBILLON MANUFACTURE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Classic Tourbillon Manufacture is currently one of the least expensive tourbillon watches on the market.\u00a0Frederique Constant<\/strong>‘s great merit lies in having positioned it at an attractive price point without sacrificing quality\u2014meaning both construction and finishing. The brand has made it available in three versions, one with a blue dial, one with a silver dial, and a limited edition of 150 pieces with a beautiful green hue. All have a steel case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"Frederique<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"Frederique<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The fourth version, the subject of this article, is a valuable development of this reference, enriching the range by introducing not only a new material for the dial\u2014the\u00a0blue mother-of-pearl<\/strong>\u2014but also for the case. Indeed, the transition has been made from steel to\u00a0white gold<\/strong>. A precious material which, together with the blue of the dial, makes the watch shine in a special way on the wrist. Although the steel of the three previous references was already polished so brilliantly that it almost looked like white gold. Speaking of quality…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"Frederique<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"Frederique<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0case\u00a0<\/strong>retains the same dimensions as the other references, measuring\u00a039 mm\u00a0<\/strong>in diameter and 10.99 mm in thickness. As mentioned above, the mirror polishing highlights the domed bezel and the smoothness of the caseband. The\u00a0elongated lugs,\u00a0<\/strong>typical of the collection, also stand out; their slight curve balances their length, and works in harmony with the case diameter to enhance comfort on the wrist. The large onion-shaped crown, also a hallmark of the\u00a0Classic Tourbillon Manufacture,\u00a0<\/strong>features pronounced grooves: these facilitate handling and increase the surfaces of the watch that can catch pleasing plays of light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FREDERIQUE CONSTANT AND THE WORKING OF MOTHER-OF-PEARL<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The main evolution of this reference therefore concerns the dial, beyond the case material. The new\u00a0Classic Tourbillon Manufacture\u00a0<\/strong>features the same design as the other editions mentioned above, characterised by elegant applied hour markers with a diamond-cut finish and hand-polished alpha-shaped hands, without luminescent material. This is because we are looking at a watch that decisively plays the\u00a0elegance<\/strong>\u00a0card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Frederique<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What sets it apart from the pieces seen so far is the base of the dial, made of\u00a0light grey-blue mother-of-pearl<\/strong>, which gives the watch a lively appearance, considering the sparkling effect of mother-of-pearl. The dial is dominated by the large circular opening of the\u00a0tourbillon<\/strong>, positioned at 6 o’clock, which\u2014thanks to its considerable diameter\u2014reaches\u00a0tangentially to the pinion of the hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"Frederique<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"Frederique<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As with the other references in the\u00a0Classic Tourbillon Manufacture\u00a0<\/strong>collection, Frederique Constant has also paired the complication with a small seconds hand. The one-minute tourbillon bridge is very elegant, holding it steady as it oscillates at\u00a028,800 vibrations per hour<\/strong>. It is equipped with a silicon escape wheel and anchors, to counteract magnetic fields and reduce the need for lubrication. The movement is powered by a central rotor, and the\u00a0FC-980<\/strong>\u00a0automatic calibre offers a rather modest power reserve of around 38 hours. This is somewhat the watch\u2019s Achilles\u2019 heel, which is more about aesthetic magic than performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Frederique<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A LEAP IN QUALITY AND PRICE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Certainly, the aesthetic magic is enhanced not only by the blue mother-of-pearl but also by the evocative dance of the tourbillon, which has long been one of the many complications developed in-house by\u00a0Frederique Constant<\/strong>, used both as a stand-alone function and combined with a perpetual calendar. And, in line with the brand’s classic style, often at a price well below the industry average, as mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Frederique<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Just a couple of years ago, in line with its strategy to rationalise the collection and its models, the brand introduced the\u00a0Classic Tourbillon Manufacture\u00a0<\/strong>to its range. Refined, compact, elegant and mechanically interesting, it has, as we have seen, immediately chosen to emphasise the dials\u2019 elegance. In the case of mother-of-pearl, Frederique Constant has added a further touch of\u00a0refinement\u00a0<\/strong>with a blue alligator strap whose colour is the perfect extension of the dial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"Frederique<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"Frederique<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Given the exclusivity of the piece and the difficulty of working with a material such as mother-of-pearl, this Classic Tourbillon Manufacture has been produced in a\u00a0limited edition<\/strong>. There are\u00a036 numbered pieces<\/strong>, with the progressive numbering shown on both the case back (the centre of which is made of sapphire crystal) and the tourbillon. It is therefore also visible on the dial of the watch, which has a significantly higher price than the other references in the collection, rising from \u00a314,995 to\u00a0\u00a334,995.\u00a0<\/strong>An additional twenty thousand pounds is a substantial amount, which is partly due to the case material and partly to the mother-of-pearl. After all, if exclusivity comes at a price, you can also choose to pay more than double. This is luxury as well…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
