Frederique Constant Classic Worldtimer Manufacture Watch
Frederique Constant is a young brand, having been established in 1988,?yet it?is one of a select group in Switzerland that can count itself as being a “manufacture.” This is shown off best in watches?like the?Frederique Constant Classic Worldtimer Manufacture watch, which the brand has been producing for several years now and is newly introduced with a deep brown dial.Previously, Frederique Constant added?a variant with a blue dial?to its collection of worldtimer watches?which at that point?only came with white dials. The new Classic Worldtimer Manufacture watch comes with a brown dial, which is a less obvious choice than something like black, but it matches well?with the rose gold plating on the case. Ironically, the drawback lies here, as there might be more than a few people who would just prefer the plain steel to a gold-plated case.
Maurice de Mauriac Watches Now Available With New Movement
Zurich-based watch brand Maurice de Mauriac will now begin to offer a special new movement in all of their watches which are built to accept Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph movements. Sourced from Concepto (the Jacquet family) the new movements are like super 7750s.The new movements are built on a Valjoux 7750 foundation and are interchangeable with the famous workhorse from ETA. The Valjoux 7750 is actually an amazing little machine. Continually refined for something like 30-40 years, it is not only the most popular Swiss mechanical chronograph calibre in the world, but also the base for a large number of other movements. As 7750 movements are so common, specialized movements using the same architecture are valued as they are less common and often much more attractive.
