Frederique Constant Tourbillon Watch – FC-980GR3H6

The Frederique Constant Classic Manufacture Tourbillon embodies the pinnacle of Swiss watchmaking excellence, combining historic horological innovation with modern craftsmanship. The tourbillon—first invented in the late 18th century and patented in 1801—was designed to counteract the effects of gravity on the movement’s escapement, ensuring an ideal running rate and enhanced accuracy.

This masterpiece delivers a guaranteed 38-hour accuracy period, maintained by the precision-engineered FC-980 automatic movement. The central seconds hand features a stop-seconds function, allowing precise time setting, while the tourbillon mechanism is prominently showcased through a large aperture at 6 o’clock. This design offers an immersive view of the intricate escapement in action, complemented by a rear sapphire crystal window for an additional perspective on the movement’s complexity.
