Although Frederique Constant is barely celebrating its 25th anniversary on its showcase collection, the watch company is already well known throughout the watch community for its stellar and sleek designs. One in particular, the 41-mm Chronograph Automatic, has already charted a name for itself and is a modern option for those looking for a luxurious and new style. Besides the intricate details in the dial, the watch’s functionality is perfect for day-to-day activities. While containing a mechanical chronograph, this watch can track hours, minutes, seconds, and the date. On its own, the 41-mm Chronograph Automatic is a wonderful addition to any collection; the upcoming celebration calls for two special editions of this sports watch that’ll complete any watch lineup. Each of these new variations is meant to invoke a different meaning of luxury to this sporty watch. 

Rose gold Chronograph Automatic watches

For the celebration, Frederique Constant has released two new variations of the Chronograph Automatic watches, sure to dazzle every watch lover. The first of the variations is a rose gold edition that gives a unique touch to your collection. Instead of the typical silver or gold materials, the rose gold variation gives you a small pop of color that’s different from most.

Along with this rose gold plated case, the watch has a rich midnight blue dial for a strong contrast. The rose gold case comes in a matte with a globe pattern embossed on it to give it another level of detail unique to Frederique Constant. To match the midnight blue dial, this new rose gold piece comes with calf leather with a nubuck finish and crocodile pattern. With all the perks of a luxe gold watch, this rose gold Chronograph Automatic watch is an eye-catching timepiece. While not a limited edition piece, there’s no doubt that this rose gold watch is bound to stun more than one. 

1888-piece Chronograph Automatic

On the other hand, Frederique Constant has also released a limited edition piece that gives another aura of luxury. With 1888 pieces in a steel case with an opaline dial and green counters. The green accents on this limited edition piece give the Chronograph Automatic watch a much more sporty look. With a casual style mixed with an elegant and detailed dial, this limited edition is meant to be a statement option. 

As with the rose gold plated option, this 1888-piece watch gives the option of interchangeable straps that can best suit your everyday style. The green strap included in this limited edition is a luxurious calf leather with nubuck finishing and a crocodile pattern. Powering this watch is the FC-391 calibre with a 60-power reserve. While giving a completely different style than the sleek Highline Chronograph Automatic, this sporty 1888 piece is an ode to a rich watchmaking history that will be a stellar limited edition piece to wear.

Bremont Terra Nova Bronze collection

In 2024, Bremont captured everyone’s attention with the stainless steel Terra Nova collection, field watches that had been inspired by military pocket watches from the early 20th century. Well, the brand reimagined those models, and the end result was the bronze collection. As the name hints, the new kid on the block is manufactured from high-quality bronze, so the front face looks quite different.

Just like the stainless steel collection, the latest bronze series is made up of three watches. Apart from the casing, everything that was featured on the previous models, from the dial design to the measurements, was passed down to these new bronze watches.

This is what we know about Rolex reportedly shutting down Carl F. Bucherer
Carl F. Bucherer waves goodbye to the industry

A brand that was managed by Rolex has reportedly gone under, according to Swiss newspaper Bilanz. Two years after purchasing one of the most well-known watch brands of all time, Carl F. Bucherer, everyone who worked for the brand was notified that it would shutter.

Carl F. Bucherer first launched 137 years ago, making it a storied watch brand (and one that's older than Rolex itself — Rolex was founded in 1905). CFB was birthed in 1888 and was run by the same family for almost one hundred years. Think of it as one of the few Swiss family-owned watch brands that made it to the 21st century. Apart from offering high-quality watches, it will go down in the history books as a pioneering Swiss watch brand.
