Frederique Constant Slimline Perpetual Calendar Manufacture Watch Hands-On
Introduced at Baselworld 2016, the?Frederique Constant Slimline Perpetual Calendar Manufacture was one of the highlights of the convention, thanks largely to its slim design, in-house perpetual calendar movement, and most amazingly, a price of around 8,000 CHF.Let’s kick things off with the most interesting bit: that a Swiss in-house perpetual calendar movement. Frederique Constant was not the first big Swiss brand to bring a “surprisingly affordable” (ahem!) watch to the market-that was Montblanc with Meisterstuck Heritage, priced at around 10,000 Euros. Where Frederique Constant tried to do better was with the base movement and the price: unlike the Montblanc, “FC” could use their own base movement to power the watch, and what they did was place a perpetual calendar module on top of it-a testament to R&D director Manuel Da Silva Matos and technical director Pim Koeslag, the creators of the movement.
