The Watch

Frédérique Constant is a watchmaking brand that seamlessly blends tradition and modernity. Its watches are celebrated for their quality, precision, and refined aesthetics. The house stands out for creating timepieces that are as durable as they are sophisticated, and is renowned for its in-house movements and watchmaking innovations. It continues to craft precise, timeless models - such as this superb Carrée Small Seconds Watch FC-235S2CD6. From the Classics collection, it features a rectangular case weighing 31.50 g, crafted in silver-toned 316L stainless steel with a polished finish. The bezel is set with 158 diamonds totaling 1.185 carats, adding a touch of sophistication to this timepiece. Measuring 36 mm in length, 25 mm in width, and 5.85 mm in thickness, it is perfectly proportioned for women's wrists. A flat sapphire crystal protects the dial from scratches and impacts, while its anti-reflective treatment ensures effortless legibility. The ridged crown at 3 o'clock allows easy hand-setting to your preference. Finally, the screw-down caseback delivers water resistance of 3 ATM.

The Dial

This watch boasts a silver dial with a clean aesthetic complemented by a matte finish. At its center, two black brass hands track the hours and minutes, sweeping over printed indexes featuring alternating Roman numerals and batons in relief, encircled by a minute track. A small seconds sub-dial sits at 6 o'clock. A second minute track adds a further layer of detail at the center of the dial. The brand name is signed at 12 o'clock, with the place of manufacture noted near 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This timepiece is powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement - specifically, the FC-235 caliber, built on a Ronda 1064 base. It is fitted with 6 jewels to minimize friction and runs on a battery with an autonomy of 25 months.

The Strap

This beautiful calfskin leather strap is a perfect complement for both women's and men's wrists. In black with a crocodile-pattern finish and tone-on-tone stitching, it fastens with a stainless steel pin buckle 16 mm wide. The strap has a lug width of 18 mm and a total length of 170 mm.

Water Resistance

This watch offers water resistance of 3 atmospheres, or 30 meters. This is a dress watch, not a diving companion! Perfect for social settings and formal occasions, water is not its strong suit. It can handle rain, splashes, or the odd dishwashing moment - but nothing more. We strongly advise against showering or bathing while wearing it, and even more so against swimming or diving.
