#Frederique constant runabout chrono series#

This year, Frederique Constant is introducing its new Runabout RHS Chronograph Automatic model in honour of this collaboration and available in two limited series each composed of 2,888 pieces. The Riva Historical Society preserves the famous Riva, the legendary yacht that embodies the easy-going Italian way of life from the 20s to the 60s.

Through it, fans of fine watchmaking will be able to appreciate the FC-392 calibre in detail, the guarantor of a 55-hour power reserve, a real first in the collection вЂ“ until now the Frederique Constant Runabout timepieces offered a power reserve of only 46 hours.Д®ach piece will be presented in a special case with a miniature replica of a wooden RunaboutВ boat moored alongside the watch.The Frederique Constant Runabout collection is a culmination of a prestigious partnership between the Swiss watch making company and Riva Historical Society. And secondly, by an original imprint representing the official RHS flag, featured on the sapphire crystal of the watch. Firstly, by the individual number engraved on each watch. The exclusive nature of these editions, each limited to 888 pieces, is indicated on the back of each piece in two places. The second model offers the modernity and simplicity of a light, bright steel case, also repeated in the hands and hour marker contours. In a very chick sport approach, elegant and associated with the noble watchmaking of Geneva to which Frederique Constant remains attached, a first case is offered in plated pink gold, whose warm hue is repeated in the hands and contours of the hour markers. The two models are distinguished by their choice of materials. The whole is worn on a navy blue calfskin strap with off-white overstitching. At 6 oвЂ™clock a date window stands out, thus offering the piece perfect harmony with its stop-watch balanced against the signature of the Maison at 3 oвЂ™clock. To enjoy perfect readability, this guillochГ© centre, a real signature of the Runabout collection, is surrounded by a satin-finish hour circle to which luminescent Arabic numerals are applied superimposed by large, also luminescent, hands. With an anti-glare sapphire glass bezel, it features a guillochГ© pattern that will play with the reflections of light like sun on the waves. Blue of the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, blue of the sky and space: the Runabout Chronograph Automatic is an invitation to travel, to have your feet in the water and your head in the stars.Д®ach model shares a 42 mm polished case with two push-pieces to start, stop and reset the stop-watch. It was from this union that the collection was born, created in 2009 and since then, only offered in limited series.Д«lue, is the choice of Frederique Constant for these two new models, each in a limited edition of only 888 pieces. Marine, like this call from the ocean that recalls the original partnership between Frederique Constant and the RHS (Riva Historical Society), this association of amateurs and collectors of the famous Italian boat, an ode to the dolce vita, elegance and chic sport. Navy or marine blue, is the name of this deep blue hue that adorns the new dials of the Runabout Chronograph Automatic. Perfect timing for the two new Runabout Chronograph Automatic, adorned with a blue dial, complementing this emblematic Frederique Constant collection.

And no moment is more precious than the fine summer nights, warm and perfectly clear, on the waterвЂ™s edge, to observe the starry sky.
