Manufacture caliber

The WA x FC WorldTimer encases the in-house developed, produced and assembled FC-718 world time caliber. 

Intuitive & simple

All functions are operated by the crown. A unique and simple usability. No correctors or additional crowns come to clutter the case design.

Smaller diameter

A new smaller, refined and modern case in 40mm has been developed for this exclusive edition as a complement to the 42mm model.

Legible

An inclined city disk and the removal of the date provide a clean and highly legible world time dial.

Less is more

The focus of the new 40mm case has been on the case silhouette, aiming to achieve the perfect balance and proportions offering a versatile alternative to the classic larger size.


The case design embodies the Frederique Constant's core values: elegance, timelessness, and sophistication, with a modern twist. The goal: achieve a classic aesthetic that is relevant today and tomorrow.
 

 

 

Subtle curves, sharp bevels.

The new case design combines subtle curves with sharp bevels, reflecting the design codes of Frederique Constant. The polished bevels complement the brushed surfaces, dividing the case into levels that contribute to give a slim and elegant appearance.

Co-innovation

This timepiece has been co-designed, co-developed, and co-produced by Frederique Constant and Watch Angels. This method of collaboration is rare in the watch industry and it serves the purpose of leaving the comfort zone in the interest of experimentation and innovation.

 

One of the most cherished models in the Frederique Constant "Manufacture Collection," the Worldtimer, has been reimagined with a fresh, future oriented, design identity crafted exclusively for the collectors' community.

This 40mm version introduces a smaller, refined, and elegant case while adopting a modern design direction, complementing the Maison’s highly successful 42mm model. This new iteration caters to the aesthetic preferences and wearability expectations of an important segment of the community, offering a versatile alternative to the classic larger size.

"Since our founding we innovate by collaborating with best-in-class manufacturers and partners. They are able to take us out of our comfort zone which is necessary for experimentation and innovation. The collaboration with Watch Angels situates itself within this framework and additionally brings us the feedback of a collector community, further reinforcing our way of innovating which includes closely listening to the market".

Niels Eggerding, Frederique Constant CEO

 

FC-718 Manufacture Caliber

Fully developed, produced, finished and assembled in-house by Frederique Constant, the FC-718 is a beautiful self-winding mechanical movement for connoisseurs of high quality watchmaking.

This caliber has 139 parts and its unique feature is that the world time and all other functions are operated by the single crown. 

 

 

Day & Night

The 24-hour worldtimer disc features a sun and a moon, giving a clear sense of day and night. The sun is positioned at midday (12:00), while the moon marks midnight (24:00). Both elements are designed as half-spheres, providing a three-dimensional representation for added visual depth and preciousness.

 

 

Three-dimensional details

Frederique Constant watches are renown for their level of finishing and the preciousness of their details. The WA X FC special ads a unique three-dimensional level to this philosophy. 

Frederique Constant
