Limited Edition of 718 numbered pieces.

Available exclusively at watchangels.ch through March 13, 2025 and select retailers from October.

A new case and dial 

With its subtle curves and sharp bevels - combined with vertically brushed lugs, a horizontally brushed case profile and a polished bezel - the new Worldtimer case combines elegance and dynamism, as well as a striking impression of slimness, despite housing a sophisticated complication.

Achieving the perfect case proportions and an optimal legibility of the world time city disk demonstrates the ingenuity of Frederique Constant's and Watch Angel's design and engineering. By inclining the city disk and removing the date, the redesigned three-piece dial prioritises clarity and the effortless readability of the 24 time zones. The result is a clean, contemporary aesthetic with a focus on functionality. The day and night segments on the 24-hour disk add to the allure. They are divided by two half hemispheres: a polished sun for daytime and a polished-sandblasted crescent moon for night-time, beautifully blending form and function.

A new take on a beloved classic 

One of the most cherished models in the Frederique Constant "Manufacture Collection", the FC-718 Worldtimer, has been reimagined with a new design identity and crafted exclusively for the collector's community.  

This new version introduces a smaller case featuring a streamlined and dynamically elegant design which comes to complement the maison’s highly successful 42mm classic model: a new and refined iteration which caters to the aesthetic preferences and wearability expectations of an important segment of the watch enthusiast community, offering a versatile alternative to the classic larger size.

Masterful Simplicity and Craftsmanship

At the heart of this creation lies the FC-718 in-house caliber, composed of 139 intricately assembled components. Designed with effortless usability in mind, this precision movement allows all functions to be set solely via the crown—no additional pushers are required. 

The craftsmanship of the movement is showcased through an extra-large open sapphire case back. It reveals exquisite decorations, such as the Côtes de Genève, the perlage, and blued screws—the hallmarks of Swiss horological excellence. This new Frederique Constant Worldtimer Manufacture in 40mm reflects the Maison’s commitment to innovation, timeless elegance, and the desires of the collector community.
