Since entering the luxury watchmaking industry 37 years ago, Frederique Constant has maintained its goal of offering premium mechanical watches at affordable prices. At Watches and Wonders 2025, the Swiss brand doubled down on its commitment by introducing a new lineup of models, including stone-dial timepieces, perpetual calendars, and optimized in-house movements — all while keeping to the brand’s affordable price points.

Accessible luxury as a concept

Frederique Constant first built upon its legacy of accessible luxury for all by bridging the gap between classic Swiss craftsmanship and affordable pricing. Their Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture is far less expensive than other luxury watches of the same level. It’s a decisive and bold move for the brand and drives home its dedication to value without compromise, an integral component of its winning philosophy.

2025 highlights: Standout timepieces

This year’s collection introduces refined aesthetics and technical upgrades, ensuring Frederique Constant remains an international leader in entry-level luxury timepieces.

Extended power reserve models

Buoyed by last year’s success, Frederique Constant built upon that base by now offering 72-hour power reserves (up from 38 hours) in two key models:

  • Classic Date Manufacture
  • Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture

These upgrades provide greater convenience for the daily grind and are backed by an extended five-year warranty—a testament to the brand’s confidence in its skills in horology.

Exquisite stone dials

Frederique Constant has now moved crafting luxurious stone dials, elevating its now-iconic designs with natural elegance:

  • Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture with Malachite Dial – A striking green stone with unique organic patterns.
  • Classic Tourbillon Manufacture with Aventurine Dial – A deep blue, starry-sky effect that mesmerizes.

These limited editions remain popular with collectors due to their intricate balance of singular artistry and premium horology.

Expanding in-house calibers

One major milestone for Frederique Constant in 2025 is the expansion of its in-house movements to 34 calibers. This achievement supports their spirit of innovation and emphasis on accessible pricing.

Why Frederique Constant stands out in 2025

Perpetual Calendar: Luxury within reach

The Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture continues to be a standout. It offers a high complication at a fraction of the normal price. Its elegant design and self-adjusting date mechanism make it a bargain in the Swiss watchmaker market.

Enhanced durability and warranty

With this year’s edition boasting longer power reserves and a five-year warranty, Frederique Constant is one brand known for their quality and attention to details. It is a trusted name well-regarded for their reliability as well as longevity —prime factors for watch enthusiasts seeking value.

Stone dials: A touch of exclusivity

Introducing malachite and aventurine dials adds a luxurious yet natural aesthetic, appealing to watch enthusiasts who appreciate unique and precious materials.

The future of Frederique Constant

As the brand expands its in-house capabilities, consumers can expect:

  • More complications available at competitive prices
  • Further research and recovery of exotic materials
  • Continued focus on durability and precision

Frederique Constant’s 2025 collection proves that the Swiss name doesn’t necessarily come with a hefty price tag. By offering perpetual calendars, stone dials, and in-house movements at affordable prices, the brand remains a top destination for consumers that are discerning yet budget-conscious buyers. Swiss excellence is in abundance with this collection, but without the premium cost, making Frederique Constant’s Watches & Wonders 2025 collection impossible to ignore.

What sailors in the Race to Mackinac, America’s oldest freshwater race, wear on their wrists
The race from Chicago to Mackinac Island is a days-long battle against the Great Lakes. In that kind of contest, you need a watch as tough as the job.
Boat, Sailboat, Transportation

The Race to Mackinac has been run since 1898, when five boats set out from Chicago. Today it covers 333 statute miles up Lake Michigan, crosses into Lake Huron at the Straits of Mackinac, and finishes off Mackinac Island — and it is not an easy voyage. It is also not a gentle one. Sustained gales flattened big chunks of the fleet in 1911, 1937, and 1970, and after a deadly storm in 2011, the Mac's reputation for danger stopped being theoretical. The fastest boats finish absurdly quickly now, with an all-time record of 18 hours and 50 minutes set back in 1998, but most crews are out there for two or three nights. The sailors alternate, sleeping in shifts of four hours each, until they (hopefully) make land.

It might seem tough to imagine doing that once — now, try doing it two dozen more. For those who make the journey at least 25 times, the prize is entry into the Island Goats Sailing Society, founded in 1959 and now several hundred strong. Rack up 25 Chicago Macs and 25 from Port Huron, and you become a Double Goat. The nickname, as the story goes, comes from the aroma a crew carries after days at sea with no shower. All things considered, this is a tough, electric, occasionally dangerous race. The Chicago Yacht Club hosts the race annually in mid-July, and that's exactly where I went to look at watches.
