If we judge objectively, it is these hours that can be called the most interesting premiere of the year. Interesting not new complications, design, or even a new name, but as a reasonable investment of funds. By the ratio of price, quality and aesthetics, classic models from the updated line of Slimline Manufacture are almost out of competition.
For the Geneva Manufactory of Frederique Constant this year was rich in joyful events. In the spring, the company noted the decade of the cult model Heart Beat Manufacture, presented a number of sensational novelties, the report on the first half of the year showed record sales results. Apparently, an independent company, founded by spouses Peter and Aletta Stas in 1988, excellent prospects for the future. The secret is simple. Peter Stas knows how to make a watch that people will always want to wear.
For example, it is obvious that, no matter how the tastes change, each respectable business person in the wardrobe must have at least one classic model in an ultra-thin case. And as if predicting this request, Frederique Constant in 2014 creates three new items, equipped with FC-710 manufactory calibers – with an auto-winding and a convenient 42-hour stroke. Through the sapphire glass on the back cover, a filigree performed swelling and circular engraving “Geneva Waves” are visible.
The model of the current size of 42 mm is presented in three versions: with a gold coating of the housing and a blue dial and a strap or with a silver dial and a black strap, as well as in a steel case with a silver dial and a black strap. The classic dial without unnecessary decorations complements the stylish shooting calendar at the mark “6 hours”, and all the arrows are polished manually and adjusted by one clockwork.
It is immediately clear that the value of these watches, the work invested in them, skill and Swiss technologies far exceed their price.
Peter Stas, President and Owner of Frederique Constant Manufactory:
“Our goal is to create impeccable watches available to a wide range of connoisseurs of high-quality hour mechanics. The Frederique Constant Slimline Manufacture 2014 collection is another big step towards achieving these goals. These three models have all the design and technical advantages that we could get, developing a watch of this class on our own manufactory. ”
