Frederique Constant Classic Tourbillon Meteorite Manufacture Watch

Swiss watchmaker Frederique Constant is commemorating its 35th anniversary in grand style with the introduction of the Classic Tourbillon Meteorite Manufacture. This exquisite timepiece, limited to just 35 pieces, represents the brand's most exclusive offering to date. Notably, it also marks the 15th anniversary of Frederique Constant's iconic Tourbillon calibre, adding an extra layer of significance to the release.

Crafted from platinum, the Classic Tourbillon Meteorite Manufacture showcases a dial made from a genuine meteorite, making it a rarity in the world of tourbillon watches. Each piece undergoes meticulous hand-finishing by two skilled watchmakers who have been specially chosen to demonstrate the brand's unparalleled craftsmanship.

The true beauty of this watch lies within its movement, which showcases exceptional hand-finishing—a first for Frederique Constant. The tourbillon, a creation of Frederique Constant dating back to 2008, is elegantly displayed at the 6 o'clock position, connecting the timepiece to its rich heritage.

What sets this watch apart is its meteorite dial, which is not just a name but an actual piece of space. Originating from Gibeon, Namibia, each dial is crafted with precision, showcasing the rare combination of superior craftsmanship and natural wonder.

While the Classic Tourbillon Meteorite Manufacture is limited to 35 pieces, each watch possesses unique characteristics due to the natural variations in the meteorite dials. The finishing of the dial and movement with ruthenium ensures a visually appealing and harmonious aesthetic, while the rhodium-plated engravings stand out prominently against the backdrop.

With its 39mm platinum case, the Classic Tourbillon Meteorite Manufacture pays homage to Frederique Constant's illustrious history while paving the way for future innovations. Availability is expected to be limited, with inquiries likely to be directed through the watchmaker's official website.
