Michel HERBELINNEWPORT Chronograph Black PVD Noir

Newport Chronograph in Black PVD
The Speed of Time

After updating the design last year, the Michel Herbelin French Watchmaking Studio now presents the Newport Chronograph in an all-black version. The decidedly sporty watch packs a robust punch with standout features that make it a choice timepiece for the distinguished gentleman...

Purebred character

This steel timepiece coated in black PVD throughout is instantly recognisable as part of the Newport family and maintains all of the original specifications of the collection. Its rounded case measures 42.5 mm in diameter. The notched black dial with circular brushed bezel is arranged like a dashboard, engraved with a tachymeter scale.

Punctuated with luminescent baton hour markers ringed by a discreet minute track on the encircling flange, the dial houses three counters in a V shape, in an anthracite grey that discreetly draws the gaze. Complete with a large date aperture at 12 o’clock, the well-balanced design affords easy reading of the information on display.

A steadfast companion for the man who lives life at 100 miles an hour, this Michel Herbelin chronograph comes with a rubber-look black leather strap that complements its sporty aesthetic. Pairing equally well with a jacket as with a casual outfit, it makes a versatile everyday companion for the man who lives life to the full.

Sporty temperament

Fitted with a Swiss-made quartz chronograph movement (Ronda), the Newport Chronograph guarantees precision to 1/10th of a second, for 54 months. Made for racing, it features a tachymeter scale that runs from 60 to 400 km/h, allowing dedicated record breakers to measure their average speed over a given distance. Also water-resistant to 100 metres (double-gasket crown), this sporty Michel Herbelin, protected by a sapphire crystal, is in pole position to accompany the masculine gent in his many pursuits.

Like all the brand’s timepieces, this Newport chronograph was conceived, designed, assembled, regulated and quality checked at the Michel Herbelin studios in the Jura mountains of the Franche-Comté region. Heir to a French watchmaking tradition stretching back over 70 years, it offers the assurance of stringent technical standards.

Frederique Constant – Classic Worldtimer Manufacture Green Dial


















Frederique ConstantClassic Worldtimer Manufacture Green Dial - New Version 2018


2018 PRE-BASELWORLD NOVELTY
Classic Worldtimer Manufacture 

Geneva 2018,  – Frederique Constant presents its first novelty of 2018, a redesigned Classic Worldtimer Manufacture featuring a new green color pattern.


Making time

Nowadays, Time could be considered just as precious as gold. For the busy businessman travelling around the world, keeping track of time locally and at home is primordial. With the new Classic Wordtimer Manufacture, you will be able to track time throughout twenty-four cities worldwide.

The world at your fingertips

A finely world map was etched on the dial and the twenty-four cities are placed on its outer rim just as previous editions.

The date by hand is located at 6 o’clock and perfectly fits within the dial. Telling time on this newest timepiece will make keeping time a relaxing and simple experience. 

Setting up your Worldtimer

The FC-718 caliber movement is an extraordinary piece of machinery not only because it is in-house designed, developed and produced but also because its Worldtimer functions as well as the date are all adjustable via the crown itself, with no additional push-buttons. Frederique Constant was the first to announce such an accomplishment and three Worldtimer editions later this innovation is one of the top selling arguments for this watch.

To easily set the functions you must choose between three settings; the first lets you wind the watch by turning the crown upwards; the second allows the user to set the date and city by turning the crown upwards and downwards, respectively; and the third position allows the user to set the time by turning the crown downwards. This timepiece displays two separate discs, one featuring a 24h day-night indicator and a second one with the twenty-four cities. As a Manufacture movement, the FC-718 caliber is decorated with Perlages and Côtes de Genève, and holds a 42-hour power reserve. The green timepiece is complete with a green alligator strap with white stitches.

With yet another revival of the Classic Worldtimer Manufacture, Frederique Constant continues to enhance its Manufacture collection. Always mindful of the “Accessible Luxury” philosophy it implemented the brand strikes again with an in-house movement for under 3500 CHF.
