In an elegant fusion of technical prowess and delicate artistry, Frederique Constant introduces a new chapter in its Tourbillon Manufacture collection—featuring, for the first time ever, a dial crafted from natural mother-of-pearl. This soft, iridescent surface, glowing in hues of grey and blue, adds a deeply emotive layer to the brand’s signature complication. Encased in a refined 39 mm case of 18-carat white gold, this exclusive release is limited to just 36 numbered pieces—a luminous embodiment of contrast between mechanical mastery and organic elegance.
While tourbillons and mother-of-pearl rarely share the same stage, Frederique Constant brings them together in perfect harmony. The dial’s shifting iridescence beautifully enhances the polished hour markers, the sparkle of blued screws, and the intricate openworked tourbillon featuring a silicon escapement. The result is a dazzling display of fine watchmaking and refined design.
“The art of watchmaking is our passion, innovation is our mission, and the tourbillon is one of its finest interpretations,” notes watchmaker Romain Valette of Frederique Constant.
A Dial Unlike Any Other
This debut marks a significant milestone—the introduction of natural mother-of-pearl into the Tourbillon Manufacture line. Each dial is naturally unique, offering subtle, ever-changing reflections that echo the rhythmic dance of the tourbillon. The soft, glowing tones bring a celestial quality to the watch’s precision.
Framing this extraordinary dial is a highly polished 39 mm case in 18-carat white gold, complemented by a pale blue alligator leather strap with a folding clasp. A minimalistic aesthetic is preserved through the subtle “Frederique Constant – Genève – Swiss Made” inscription, ensuring the dial and tourbillon remain the visual focal points.
Powering this elegant timepiece is the in-house FC-980 calibre, visible through both the dial and sapphire caseback. Equipped with a silicon escapement to improve resistance to magnetism and thermal shifts, the movement offers a 38-hour power reserve and is meticulously hand-finished at the Geneva Manufacture—affirming Frederique Constant’s dedication to traditional Haute Horlogerie.
With just 36 pieces released globally, this radiant new Tourbillon model marks a bold evolution in the Frederique Constant legacy, where innovation and timeless design meet in perfect harmony.
