FREDERIQUE CONSTANT CLASSICS PREMIÈRE: ELEGANCE THAT NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE

There are watches that follow trends and others that transcend them. The Classics Première belongs to the latter category. Inspired by more than two centuries of Genevan watchmaking tradition, this model embraces the classical codes that defined Swiss haute horlogerie and adapts them to today’s technical standards, where precision and reliability are as important as aesthetics.

The 38.5 mm case diameter and 10.67 mm thickness reflect a perfect balance between presence and discretion. It is available in stainless steel or rose gold plated, two interpretations that maintain sobriety as the central theme. With a 20 mm lug width and 5 ATM water resistance, the watch is designed to accompany daily life without losing its refined character.

A Dial with Depth and Character

The silver dial is one of the main highlights of the piece. Its design is divided into twoFlor Gil clearly defined sections. On the outer track, a sunray minute circle features Arabic numerals that add visual dynamism. On the hour ring, the hours appear in applied Roman numerals, reinforcing the model’s classical heritage. At the center, a fine embossed guilloché adds depth and texture, creating an elegant and sophisticated play of light.

Three central hands indicate hours, minutes, and seconds with clarity and balance. The applied indices complete a harmonious composition that combines tradition and modernity without excess.

Swiss Mechanics with 68 Hours of Autonomy

Inside beats the automatic FC-301 movement, based on the LJPG100 caliber by La Joux-Perret. This self winding mechanical movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, incorporates 24 jewels, and offers an impressive 68 hour power reserve. In practical terms, it can be taken off on Friday night and will continue running accurately on Monday morning.

The open caseback allows the movement to be admired in action. The crystal features a magnifying effect that enhances the finishing, including the traditional Côtes de Genève, a decorative detail that confirms the brand’s commitment to watchmaking craftsmanship.

Details That Reinforce Its Elegance

The watch is completed with a black calf leather strap embossed with a crocodile pattern, measuring 80 × 120 mm, secured by an 18 mm pin buckle. Every element has been carefully selected to maintain a coherent, sober, and timeless aesthetic.

The Classics Première demonstrates that what is truly classic never loses relevance. Its versatile size, balanced design, and high quality automatic movement make it an ideal piece for both formal settings and everyday wear. It is a contemporary interpretation of Genevan tradition, created for those who appreciate enduring elegance and Swiss mechanical excellence in its purest form.
