Frederique Constant’s Worldtimer has long been a favorite among collectors, and now, thanks to a partnership with Watch Angels, it’s getting a refined, limited-edition upgrade. First introduced in 2012, the Classics Worldtimer Manufacture quickly became a standout for its accessible take on the worldtime complication. Over the years, it has seen numerous iterations, but this latest version—crafted in collaboration with Watch Angels—might be the best yet.
This Frederique Constant edition sports a 40mm stainless steel case with a slightly thicker 13.4mm profile, making it a comfortable yet substantial presence on the wrist. Water-resistant up to 50 meters, it features a brushed and polished finish, a convex sapphire crystal, and an exhibition caseback showcasing the automatic FC-718 movement. Unlike previous models, this version ditches the date subdial for a cleaner, more legible layout. The deep blue dial is a masterclass in refinement, with a sunburst-finished center, applied rhodium hour indices, and a two-tone 24-hour disc adorned with a gold sun and silver moon for effortless readability.
The FC-718 movement powers this elegant timepiece, maintaining its 28,800 vibrations per hour and a 38-hour power reserve. The gold-toned openworked rotor and Geneva-striped finishing elevate its visual appeal, making it a standout for any collector. Limited to 718 pieces, the Watch Angels x Frederique Constant Worldtimer Manufacture is available exclusively via subscription for $4,890. With its timeless design and functional upgrades, this worldtimer is poised to be an instant classic.
