IT’S A SQUARE THAT’S NOT A SQUARE

The Classics Carrée style evokes the Art Déco spirit of the ‘20s and ‘30s, with straight, taut lines and elaborate shapes that break away from the conventional circle.

The rectangular case houses a dial with an equally rectangular minute track, and a small independent seconds hand at 6 o’clock. This is offset from the main dial by a slight recess. The hour markers—written in Roman numerals— run parallel to the sector-dial minute track, a typical feature of watches during the Interwar Years.

Fineness of the wrist, fineness of the watch: the slimline gents small seconds is one of the most emblematic watches of frédérique constant, designed in the purest traditional swiss watchmaking spirit.

100% steel (case and strap), a quartz movement, two years of battery life, a silver-finish dial with two central hands and a small off-centre seconds hand above over the «sector dial» minute track, and large Roman numerals.
