Frederique Constant adds a new chapter to its rectangular classic with the first-ever Moonphase for the Classics Carrée Automatic. The elegant steel case, now well established at 42.3 by 30 mm, frames a choice of silver or navy blue chevron guilloché dials, each finished with a soft sunray sheen. At six o’clock, the Moonphase display brings a calm symmetry to the dial, perfectly counterbalancing the “Frederique Constant Genève” signature at twelve. Both models are set on calfskin straps with matching stitching.
The Moonphase display shows the moon’s slow passage across the night sky, a small rotating disc painted with stars and a silvery moon. It’s a traditional complication that feels at home here, quietly linking timekeeping to the heavens.
Rooted in Art Deco geometry, the Carrée Moonphase balances proportion and detail with confidence. Polished steel surfaces, faceted markers, and a precise railway minute track keep the aesthetic crisp and period-correct. Beneath, the FC-333 automatic calibre beats steadily, visible through the sapphire caseback and offering 38 hours of reserve.
