The Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture
is one of Frederique Constant’s best-known models, now in the limelight
again with the release of three new watches at once: two variations
with a steel case and blue or silvered dial, plus an onyx black dial
with an 18k yellow gold case limited to 37 pieces only. Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 
All share the
same 40-millimetre format and the same manufacture calibre: the renowned
FC-776 that first enabled the Geneva-based brand to deliver the most
affordable Perpetual Calendar on the market – a title the model still
holds today.

As such the Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture is the ultimate embodiment of the ‘affordable luxury’ philosophy championed by Frederique Constant for over thirty-five years. Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 
The Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture is an exceptional
timepiece in more ways than one. For starters, there’s the complication
itself. The perpetual calendar is one of the most challenging
achievements in fine watchmaking and has been a source of admiration in
the profession for 150 years.

The challenge resides in creating a fully
mechanical memory capable of handling the irregularities of our
Gregorian calendar.

The latter’s formalised structure entails the need
for occasional adjustments to keep it in step with the natural passage
of time, replete with subtle variations that go unnoticed on a
day-to-day basis; the leap years we add every four years are just one of
the many such adjustments that help compensate for such vagaries.

The
perpetual calendar (also known as the
QP) thus represents the height of
mechanical engineering, and only a small number of watchmaking firms
have mastered it.
Frederique Constant has been one of the select few for
nearly ten years now, with its first such piece released in
2016.

The
Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture is also exceptional
in terms of its positioning, still deliberately kept below the
CHF
10,000 mark; at the same time, it has undergone relentlessly thorough
development, delivering significant improvements to the movement whilst
leaving the pricing unchanged.

The
775 Calibre has thus been replaced by
the
776, with a power reserve boosted from
38 to
72 hours.
Frederique
Constant is probably the only manufacture currently offering this level
of movement refinement – and simultaneously absorbing the related costs
to ensure the watch remains affordable.

What is more, this
Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture takes
the exercise still further with a
QP complication that’s remarkably
easy to adjust. The moonphase, date, day, month and leap year functions
are all set by means of a dedicated push button, discreetly recessed in
the frame.

Provided the watch is wound up, in everyday use the wearer
need do no more than adjust the hour and minutes hands as required,
using the crown. The
FC-776 manufacture calibre is housed in a case just
40 millimetres in diameter – a format much beloved of collectors.

While the Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture has recently
featured a much-sought-after salmon dial, two other colour schemes
favoured by collectors have been adopted here, with a blue or silvered
dial.
Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 
Each offers maximum readability thanks to the clear, intuitive
layout of the markings: separate day, date and month displays alongside a
moonphase tastefully positioned at six o’clock.

Moving forward only
once a year, the lesser-used leap year indicator sits at twelve o’clock
with the month hand. Each dial features a graceful sunray finish to help
diffuse light evenly across the applique hour markers and hand-polished
hands.

Only
37 lucky collectors will be able to own the third version of the new
Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture
with an 18-carat yellow gold case, as used by
Frederique Constant for
other models in its Manufacture collections.

The watch offers a striking
contrast between the warm yellow gold of its case and hand-polished
hands and the absolute black of an onyx dial that embodies timeless,
classic elegance.

Exuding prestige, the timepiece comes on an alligator
strap with deployment clasp and features a sapphire caseback, revealing
the inner workings of the
FC-776 calibre in all their glory.
