To celebrate its 35th anniversary, Swiss brand Frederique Constant unveils several new tourbillon watches. This Classic Tourbillon Manufacture watch was developed entirely in-house and is powered by the brand's FC-980 movement. The watch boasts a 39mm, 18-karat rose gold case and a rich black dial with tourbillon escapement at 6 o'clock. Classically elegant, the watch offers a small second hand on the tourbillon cage. The cage and the rim of the sapphire caseback are both engraved with the individual serial number of the watch. Just 150 pieces will be made.

Founded by Aletta and Peter Stas, the passion of their relationship and for entrepreneurship translates into their craft and pervades the Frederique Constant brand.Launched in 2007, the Vintage Rally line continues to be loved by all who are familiar with Fredrique Constant. The product of a partnership with the British car brand Austin-Healey, the collection couples their mechanical capabilities to produce state of the art timepieces.The brand's Tourbillon flaunts similar craftsmanship, building on its FC-980 caliber and adding a silicon escapement. The emblematic Heart Beat opening at 6 o'clock that debuted in its 2002 FC-910 watch can also be seen on the dial's aperture and many other Frederique Constant watches such as its 2021 Slimline Monolithic Manufacture collection.From its Chronograph to Smart Watches, the style and intricacy of the brand's timepieces live up to its 'Live your passion' slogan, its signature Heart Beat in particular, spurring one to follow theirs.
