Boasting a white gold case measuring just 39mm, this limited-edition Classic Tourbillon Manufacture with aventurine dial—of which there are only 36—has already established itself as a high-flying mechanical marvel.
The Classic Tourbillon Manufacture aventurine features the self-winding FC-980-4 in-house caliber with hand-beveled chamfers, beading on the bridges, straight-grained flanks and a delicate mirror polish. With a silicon escapement, symbolizing performance and precision, this material protects the escapement from any running variations resulting from temperature changes or magnetization.
Worthy of its exceptional mechanics are the exterior features. A single-piece aventurine dial adorns this timepiece; thanks to the 100% hand-crafted process involved, no two dials are exactly alike, making each piece even more unique. The large cut-out at 6 o'clock reveals the precious escapement, whose bridge features the model's limited series number engraved in gold letters. This is the famous Heart Beat opening, which has been one of the Frederique Constant manufacturer's signature aesthetic details for 30 years.
As our special gift, you will receive our signature Frederique Constant x Wolf Brand Rocket Winder so that your Classic Tourbillon Manufacture timepiece with an aventurine dial will always be set and ready to go. The Rocket is the world’s smallest travel watch winder; small enough to fit inside any hotel safe, pop into your overnight hold-all or pack for an extended holiday away. The Rocket gives your watch the perfect wind anytime, anywhere.
