In celebration of its 35th company anniversary and 15th anniversary of its in-house tourbillon movement in 2023, Frederique Constant<\/a><\/strong> introduces the Manufacture Classic Tourbillon Meteorite<\/strong>, following a pink gold and stainless steel execution earlier released this year. <\/p>\n

As the name suggests, the haute horlogerie<\/em> complication features a rare meteorite dial that creates a beautiful, \u201cout-of-this world\u201d stage for the large and meticulously finished minute-tourbillon that gracefully rotates at 6 o\u2019clock. Its not only a beautiful sight to behold but also is a testament to the craftsmanship of Frederique Constant\u2019s artisans. Chiseling a meteorite dial, full of metals and only 0.5mm thick, requires exceptional skills. In order to maintain its beauty and enhance its natural grey glints, it is coated by a thin layer of ruthenium.<\/p>\n

The Manufacture Classic Tourbillon Meteorite is presented in a platinum case with a diameter of 39mm. The exhibition case back shows the in-house automatic caliber FC-980, first introduced in 2008. <\/p>\n

This movement demonstrating the technical prowess of the Geneva-based manufactory is distinguished by a particularly high degree of traditional hand-finishing decorations, featuring beveled and polished edges along with perlage<\/em>. To ensure visual coherence with the color way of the meteorite dial, the movement also sports a ruthenium finish, very rare for Frederique Constant.<\/p>\n

Limited to just 15 pieces, the Manufacture Classic Tourbillon Meteorite is priced at $44,995.<\/p>\n
