This unique timepiece, encasing the renowned in-house FC-718 world time movement, has been designed for early adopters and marks a design and dimensional evolution of the acclaimed 42mm Classic Worldtimer Manufacture model which it comes to complement.

A new take on a beloved classic

One of the most cherished models in the Frederique Constant "Manufacture Collection", the FC-718 Worldtimer, has been reimagined with a new design identity exclusively for the collector's community.

This new version introduces a smaller case featuring a streamlined and dynamically elegant design which comes to complement the maison’s highly successful 42mm classic model: a new and refined iteration which caters to the aesthetic preferences and wearability expectations of an important segment of the watch enthusiast community, offering a versatile alternative to the classic larger size.

 A new case and dial

With its subtle curves and sharp bevels - combined with vertically brushed lugs, a horizontally brushed case profile and a polished bezel - the new Worldtimer case combines elegance and dynamism, as well as a striking impression of slimness, despite housing a sophisticated complication.

Achieving the perfect case proportions and an optimal legibility of the world time city disk demonstrates the ingenuity of Frederique Constant's and Watch Angel's design and engineering. By inclining the city disk and removing the date, the redesigned three-piece dial prioritises clarity and the effortless readability of the 24 time zones. The result is a clean, contemporary aesthetic with a focus on functionality.

The day and night segments on the 24-hour disk add to the allure. They are divided by two half hemispheres: a polished sun for daytime and a polished-sandblasted crescent moon for night-time, beautifully blending form and function.

"Since our founding, we innovate by collaborating with best-in-class 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, CEO Frederique Constant

Masterful Simplicity and Craftsmanship

At the heart of this creation lies the in-house FC-718 caliber, composed of 139 intricately assembled components. Designed with effortless usability in mind, this precision movement allows all functions to be set solely via the crown—no additional pushers are required.

The craftsmanship of the movement is showcased through an extra-large open sapphire case back. It reveals exquisite decorations, such as the Côtes de Genève, the perlage, and blued screws—the hallmarks of Swiss horological excellence.
