Frederique Constant unveils new models of the Slimline Auto Heart Beat
The family-owned Geneva-based watch company adds the new Slimline Auto Heart Beat to its iconic Slimline collection, with three fascinating versions
This year, Frederique Constant introduces a fresh addition to the brand icon that displays unmistakable elegance primarily due to its pure lines and quality of design. The Slimline collection has been regarded as one of the slimmest models of the Frederique Constant brand. Now with the unveiling of the new Slimline Auto Heart Beat this 2016, the Swiss watch manufacturer introduces the three new versions of the renowned collection.
Boasting its 40mm case available in a polished stainless steel or a luxurious rose gold plated, these new timepiece models are visibly masculine, thus appearing stylishly on any man’s wrist. The eye-catching beauty of the watch comes from the mix of classical appeal and innovation, especially with the jewelled mechanism through the dial aperture at 12’ o’clock.
Meanwhile, in retrospect to 1994 when Frederique Constant developed the very first Heart Beat watch in 1994 by showing the mechanical movement which created a trend throughout the Horological industry, it is only fitting that the new Slimline Auto Heart Beat follows the same suit. The new models incorporate specific codes that enhance its unique character and its extreme simplicity with its thin polished baton-type hours markers, along with a supremely pure dial, either dark grey or silver. The overall design of the new Slimline Auto Heart Beat make them light, both visually and physically.
As Frederique Constant Slimline collection is synonymous of thin models, the Slimline Heart Beat houses the FC-312 caliber, an automatic movement that is one of the most slender in its category and drives the heart beat, hours and minutes functions. This movement beats at a frequency of 28,800 alt/h, has 25 jewels and a 42-hour power reserve. In order to protect the watch, the case is water-resistant down to 30 ATM.
The Slimline Auto heart Beat is wrapped with a delicate alligator strap, available in either black or brown, matching the colour of the case.
