The prestigious Swiss watch manufacture
Frederique Constant presents its latest timekeeping creation: the
Maxime Heart Beat Moon and Date watch.
A worthy addition to the brand’s exceptional Maxime collection, the timepiece boasts the signature
Heart Beat exhibition window, found at 12 o’clock, a moon phase indicator and a date pointer.
The new Maxime assemblage is a clear proof of Frederique Constant’s creative approach towards development of its timepieces. Every watch reflects deep respect for traditions, at the same time being at the cutting edge of technology.
The case of the Frederique Constant watch, 42 mm in diameter, has brushed steel sides, nicely matching a polished bezel. The latter demonstrates either steel or pink-gold interpretation.
The moon phase indicator is in harmony with the guilloche work of the dial. The Maxime Heart Beat Moon and Date watch accommodates the FC-335 caliber, a complicated self-winding movement.
