Swiss watchmaker Frederique Constant, renowned for its elegant balance between tradition and contemporary aesthetics, introduces two new timepieces from the Classics Premiere collection.
Presented in dials of blue and salmon pink—the standout shades of the year—the watches combine luxury, urban charm, and everyday wearability.
The collection draws heavily on the heritage of Geneva’s watchmaking school. Pastel tones such as Bermuda grey and salmon pink evoke the elegance of the 1950s and 1960s, once again taking center stage at global watch fairs. Their discreet sophistication pays homage to an era when a watch was both the ultimate style statement and an intimate companion to its owner.
The dial reveals finely crafted details: Arabic numerals inspired by early 20th-century typography, refined pomme hands, and an art déco–style minute track from the 1920s. A matte central zone contrasts with a sunburst finish on the outer ring, catching the light and enhancing depth.
For the first time, the Classics Premiere is paired with a fluid five-link steel bracelet, transforming the watch into a perfect choice for everyday city life. Reflective polished surfaces elevate the sense of luxury, while the bracelet flows seamlessly into the 38.5 mm case—a size that suits both men and women.
On the back, sapphire glass reveals the automatic caliber FC-301, based on the La Joux-Perret movement, offering an impressive 68-hour power reserve. The watch thus unites heritage aesthetics with reliable performance, meeting the expectations of both collectors and horology enthusiasts in search of true Swiss Made craftsmanship.
The new Classics Premiere models are designed for two types of wearers: seasoned collectors looking for a compact automatic watch with strong identity, and newcomers entering the world of Swiss watchmaking. Their timeless design and modern spirit make them equally suited for daily wear or special occasions that demand an extra touch of elegance.
With this launch, Frederique Constant reaffirms its philosophy: a luxurious, refined, and high-quality timepiece can be accessible to a wider circle of watch lovers, without compromise in style or technical excellence.
