At Geneva Watch Days 2025, Frederique Constant underscores its philosophy of “accessible luxury” with a fresh take on two of its most emblematic collections. The Geneva-based maison has introduced updates to the Classics Première, now offered with a versatile five-link steel bracelet and pastel dials, and expanded its Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture line with three new references. 

The brand once again places the spotlight on its flagship complication, the Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture. The Geneva-based brand introduces two new stainless-steel models with either a blue or silver dial, alongside a strictly limited edition in 18k yellow gold paired with a striking black onyx dial. Together, the trio showcases the maison’s blend of Swiss watchmaking savoir-faire and its long-standing philosophy of “accessible luxury.”

Since its debut, the Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture has been among Frederique Constant’s most emblematic creations. At its heart beats the in-house automatic caliber FC-776, which mechanically displays the complexities of the Gregorian calendar. The movement precisely indicates the date, day of the week, month, and leap year until the year 2100, complemented by a moon-phase display. All indications can be easily adjusted via discreet correctors integrated into the case, while the main timekeeping is set through the crown. For 2025, the manufactory has further refined the caliber. The power reserve has been extended from 38 to a robust 72 hours, a practical upgrade that enhances both reliability and wearing comfort. This advancement underscores Frederique Constant’s dedication to making high-end watchmaking more approachable without compromising technical substance.

The two stainless-steel models feature sunray-finished dials in a choice of deep blue or refined silver, enhanced with applied indices and hand-polished dauphine-style hands. The dial layout follows a traditional structure: subdials for the day, date, and month, a leap-year indication at 12 o’clock, and the moon-phase display at 6 o’clock. The highlight of the release, however, is the limited edition of just 37 pieces 37 pieces in 18k yellow gold. Its polished case is paired with a solid black onyx dial, resulting in a bold, highly sophisticated contrast. A black alligator leather strap with folding clasp completes the luxurious ensemble.

The case measures 42mm in diameter and 12mm in height. Each is equipped with a sapphire case back that reveals the finely decorated FC-776 caliber. Geneva stripes, perlage, beveled edges, and a skeletonized rotor affirm the maison’s attention to detail and craftsmanship.

The new Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture is priced at $9,995 in stainless steel, while the exclusive yellow-gold version retails for $29,995. 

Both models feature a sophisticated multi-layered structure: a gently grained, matte centerpiece that captures the light is framed by a circular brushed hour marker that accentuates the applied Arabic numerals. Black graduations complete the look in the salmon-colored version, while the cloud blue model features white graduations. Classic-style silver-colored hour, minute, and second hands complete the nostalgic yet fresh appearance.

The polished, elegantly designed stainless steel case measures 10.67 millimeters in height. With its soft curves, anti-reflective sapphire crystal, and water resistance to 5 bar, it is both elegant and robust. A screwed-down glass case back reveals the mechanical heart of the watch.

Inside the timepiece beats the automatic caliber FC-301, which is based on the La Joux-Perret G100. It operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, features 24 jewels, and offers a power reserve of 68 hours. 

The new five-link steel bracelet with satin-finished and polished links lends the new model a modern touch. It sits comfortably on the wrist and is completed by a folding clasp with push-buttons.

Both models will be available on your wrist for 2,095 euros each.
