Founded in the not-too-distant 1988, Frederique Constant has quickly established itself as one of the leading budget watch brands. What’s more, the manufacturer has made absolutely no compromises, instead consistently staying as close to the edge of innovation as humanly possible. The watch on offer here proves that beyond all doubt.
The Hybrid Manufacture represents the clashing of two horological breeds: the masterfully constructed in-house mechanical movement and, for lack of a better term, the smartwatch. However, instead of looking like a phone haphazardly strapped to your wrist, this timepiece borrows only the best from the smartwatch genre, allowing its wearer access to a wide array of health metrics via a smartphone app. Even better, it grants the user a window into the movement’s own health – more commonly known as accuracy – through the Calibre Analytics tool. Best of all is the fact that one could never tell that this watch was anything other than a classical mechanical timepiece if they didn’t know any better.
Inside, proudly showcased by the display caseback, the 33-jewel in-house calibre FC-750 is ticking confidently at 28.800 vph, backed by a power reserve of 42 hours. The built-in module responsible for the smart features is rechargeable and boasts a 7-day battery life.
