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.
Bulova Percheron Treble Watch For Manchester United
Last year in 2013, best watches was there when Bulova announced that they would be the official watch sponsor and timekeeper of England’s Manchester United Football Club. At the time, there were no particular watches ready to show that honored the new relationship, but at Baselworld 2014 Bulova introduced the Manchester United Treble within their new Percheron collection.I discussed a very special version of the Percheron with the 24k gold model here. Thankfully, Manchester United fans will not be required to spend $42,000 on watches with the logo of their favorite team. The Bulova Percheron Treble collection has three watches specially designed for the Bulova Manchester United relationship, and this ref. 63B195 is my favorite, with its steel case, matching brushed metal dial, and full two-tone Manchester United Logo on the dial.
