Featuring a Lustrous Black Mother-of-Pearl Dial
This limited edition model features a black mother-of-pearl dial. Its natural iridescence, showcasing a spectrum of colors, lends elegance and sophistication to the wrist. As expected, it is equipped with the "Heart Beat" at 12 o'clock and the original "Skeleton Date" mechanism at 6 o'clock.
This design fully embodies the pride of Frederique Constant, the brand that pioneered the mechanism to view the movement from the dial side for the first time in the world. Furthermore, the rectangular case, designed to contour the wrist, offers a surprisingly natural fit and comfortable wear.
Frederique Constant handles everything from design conception to final assembly in-house at its Geneva, Switzerland headquarters. As proof of this, the dial proudly displays "GENEVE," a designation that can only be used by a select few brands certified by the canton, signifying production in Geneva, the traditional home of watchmaking.
The "Carré Heart Beat & Date Automatic" series, which allows you to enjoy the pulse of the balance wheel—the heart of the movement—from the dial side, now welcomes a new model that exudes refined sophistication.
