Frederique Constant has used Watches & Wonders 2026 to unveil major updates to two of its most recognisable collections, introducing a redesigned Classic Worldtimer Manufacture alongside two fresh interpretations of the stylish Classics Manchette.
\nThe Geneva-based watchmaker continues its pursuit of accessible luxury watchmaking with a combination of in-house innovation, refined aesthetics and contemporary versatility, reinforcing its reputation for offering Swiss-made complications at compelling price points.<\/p>\n

A New Chapter for the Classic Worldtimer Manufacture<\/strong>
\nFirst launched in 2012, the Classic Worldtimer Manufacture has become one of Frederique Constant’s signature timepieces. Combining an elegant design with an in-house world-time complication, the model has earned a loyal following among travellers and collectors alike.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For 2026, the watch receives its most comprehensive update yet. At its heart is the new Manufacture FC-719 calibre, the 35th in-house movement developed by Frederique Constant since the company’s founding in 1988.<\/p>\n

Designed and assembled within the brand’s manufacture, the new movement retains the user-friendly world-time functionality of its predecessor while delivering significant technical improvements.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Most notably, the power reserve has been extended from 38 hours to an impressive 72 hours, providing a full three days of autonomy. Despite the larger mainspring and enhanced performance, the movement is housed within a more compact 40mm case, making it one of the most optimised world-time watches in its category.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The complication remains one of the model’s key attractions. The watch simultaneously displays the time across all 24 global time zones, with a two-tone day-and-night indicator allowing users to instantly distinguish between daylight and nighttime hours around the world. Frederique Constant has also removed the date display, creating a cleaner dial layout that improves readability and places greater emphasis on the world-time function.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Visible through the sapphire caseback, the FC-719 movement features traditional decorative finishes including C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve, circular graining, snailing and satin-brushed surfaces, underscoring the Maison’s commitment to fine watchmaking craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

Three Distinct New Versions<\/strong>
\nLeading the collection is a limited-edition gem-set version produced in just 88 individually numbered pieces, a nod to Frederique Constant’s founding year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The watch features a bezel set with 70 diamonds and 12 diamond hour markers, totalling 0.785 carats. Its striking dial combines a light blue sunburst ocean with raised grey continents, creating impressive depth and visual contrast. The limited edition is supplied with two interchangeable alligator straps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The second model continues the collection’s classic aesthetic with navy-blue oceans, grey relief continents and luminous applied indexes. This version debuts a new five-link stainless steel bracelet featuring alternating satin-brushed and polished surfaces, offering a contemporary take on the traditional worldtimer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Completing the trio is a sophisticated gradient-blue dial variant paired with taupe relief continents and a white city ring. The subtle colour transitions create an elegant play of light, while an interchangeable alligator strap enhances its versatility.<\/p>\n

Classics Manchette Returns with a Glamorous Twist<\/strong>
\nAlongside the Worldtimer updates, Frederique Constant has expanded its growing Classics Manchette collection with two bold new designs that blend jewellery-inspired elegance with contemporary fashion influences.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first model pairs a gold-tone bracelet featuring the collection’s signature Clou de Paris pattern with a vibrant turquoise stone dial. Each dial is unique, ensuring no two watches are exactly alike. The striking combination of gold and turquoise delivers a glamorous, fashion-forward aesthetic reminiscent of red-carpet jewellery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For those seeking a more understated look, the second version features a stainless steel bracelet and a mint-green sunray-brushed dial. While softer and more versatile, it retains the distinctive personality of the Manchette collection, offering a fresh and modern take on everyday luxury.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Both models continue the collection’s slim profile and minimalist dial design, demonstrating Frederique Constant’s ability to merge watchmaking with contemporary style.<\/p>\n

Combining Heritage and Innovation<\/strong>
\nThe latest releases highlight Frederique Constant’s dual focus on technical watchmaking and elegant design.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The upgraded Classic Worldtimer Manufacture demonstrates the brand’s growing expertise in developing practical in-house complications, while the expanded Classics Manchette collection showcases its flair for creating fashion-conscious timepieces with Swiss watchmaking credentials.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With improved performance, refreshed aesthetics and a wider range of options for different tastes, Frederique Constant’s Watches & Wonders 2026 novelties strengthen two collections that continue to define the brand’s modern identity.<\/p>\n

The Classic Worldtimer Manufacture starts at SGD 8,720, while the diamond-set limited edition is priced at SGD 13,950. The new Classics Manchette models are priced from SGD 2,260 for the stainless steel version and SGD 3,480 for the gold-tone turquoise edition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
