Intro<\/h2>\n

Frederique Constant and Watch Angels joined forces to create an attractive one-off collab watch<\/strong>: the Frederique Constant x Watch Angels Worldtimer Manufacture Limited Edition. This limited edition celebrates one of the Swiss brand\u2019s most successful complications and in-house movements, the calibre FC-718, which powers the Classic<\/strong> and Highlife<\/strong> models.<\/p>\n

\"Frederique<\/p>\n

While Frederique Constant is a well-established name in\u00a0the industry, Watch Angels<\/strong> is still unknown to most people.<\/p>\n

It is a watch-community-enthusiast-based project fostering the creation of limited and exclusive watches linked to historic brands like Waltham, for example, or independent watchmakers.<\/p>\n

Frederique Constant is the first traditional brand to join the party since Watch Angels was founded.<\/p>\n

Frederique Constant x Watch Angels<\/h2>\n

The co-design project with Frederique Constant is the first of its kind<\/strong>. The Citizen Group-owned Swiss-Made brand works as a fully independent brand, as proven by other boutique projects like the Classic Perpetual Calendar made in collaboration with Speake Marine; however, this is different since the collab watch has undergone a complete redesign<\/strong> of the case and dial.<\/p>\n

Case and dial<\/h2>\n

Some pictures ahead of the reveal teased us with sketches depicting\u00a0an exclusive silhouette built on the in-house FC-718 calibre<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Around this test-and-tried movement, the designers engineered a new style, slimming the original case size down to 40.5 mm in diameter<\/strong>, with a more contemporary look and feel than a Classic original case.<\/p>\n

\"Frederique<\/p>\n

Featuring Slim and curved lugs and a reduced gap between the case and mechanical movement thanks to a smaller diameter, the watch offers more satin finishes than mirror-polished bevels, boasting a product identity halfway between a<\/strong> Classic and a Highlife<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Frederique<\/p>\n

Uncluttered lines define a cleaner\u00a0and fully\u00a0symmetric\u00a0case<\/strong>, with no date counter and a raised two-tone cities\u2019 ring. The dial has a sun and a moon to split between day and night.<\/p>\n

The outcome is a cleaner and easier-to-read dial, the most challenging target when designing a world timer.<\/p>\n
