Frederique Constant: a legendary box set. Only 37 worldwide.
Since 1988, Frederique Constant has distinguished itself by its commitment to offering accessible watchmaking luxury without compromising on quality or complications. For 2025, the Manufacture raises the bar by creating a strictly limited edition box set of only 37 pieces, dedicated to the most demanding collectors who wish to capture the essence of the Manufacture at a precise historical moment. The theme of the year is the mineral. Lapis lazuli, turquoise, heliotrope, and onyx are the stars, embellished by a majestic Quantième Perpétuel Tourbillon with a perforated burgundy dial that reveals the underlying mechanism. A balanced fusion of technical excellence and pure aesthetics.
Frederique Constant’s intention is clear: to emphasize the uniqueness of each box set. The use of natural stone dials not only responds to the growing demand from collectors for these noble materials but also guarantees that no two dials are identical. Each stone is hand-cut, making each of the five references, in fact, a unique piece in the world.
1. Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture: The Charm of Turquoise
Watchmaking as the daughter of astronomy. The Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture (Calibre FC-716 with a 72-hour power reserve) appears for the very first time with a splendid turquoise dial. Its black mineral fibers create a fascinating marble accent, offering a minimalist canvas for reading the date and the poetic moon phase. Only 716 total pieces, initially available only in The Elements box set.
2. Classic Worldtimer Manufacture: The Infinite Blue of Lapis Lazuli
Frederique Constant’s famous Worldtimer (Calibre FC-718), known for its easy readability and adjustment entirely via the crown, is dressed in lapis lazuli. All shades of blue are expressed in harmony on the 42mm stainless steel case, recalling a celestial vault that is the very raison d'être of the Worldtimer. The lapis lazuli model will initially and exclusively be offered in this box set.
3. Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture: The Rarity of Heliotrope
A true rarity in the watchmaking landscape: the Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture (Calibre FC-776, now with a 72-hour power reserve) boasts a heliotrope dial. This mineral, with its inclusions of black, green, and even red, creates a mineral mosaic of surprising vibrancy. Not only is it the most affordable Swiss Made QP, but in this extremely limited version (only 37 pieces), it achieves unparalleled preciousness.
4. Classic Tourbillon Manufacture: The Depth of Black Onyx
To best highlight the most prestigious of complications, the Classic Tourbillon Manufacture (just 39 mm) adopts a dial in intense and pure black onyx. This immaculate background ensures the gaze remains focused on the tourbillon at 6 o'clock, secured by a hand-beveled and polished bridge. Sobriety, elegance, and the highest technical skill in just 37 pieces.
5. Highlife Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Manufacture: The Perforated Contemporary
The piece that breaks the mold is the Highlife Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Manufacture. It is the only non-Classic model, the only one with a steel bracelet (and two additional interchangeable straps), and the only one to combine the two grand complications in a contemporary approach. Its perforated dial, in a rich burgundy tone, unveils the mineral nature and the typical Genevan finishes of the automatic Calibre FC-975.
Conclusion: An Investment in History
"The Elements Collection" box set is not simply a purchase; it is an investment in a piece of Frederique Constant Manufacture history. With only 37 box sets available globally, it represents the opportunity to own five masterpieces that combine the excellence of in-house movements with the unrepeatable beauty of mineral dials. Don't miss the chance to secure a piece of this collection destined to become a legend.
