Frédérique Constant has been working on making luxury affordable since 1992 when the brand unveiled their first watch collection. 22 years on and the successful mission is still going strong, namely with the new Slimline Moonphase Manufacture model. The case is available in two colours, silver and navy, and features a moon phase and date display in the lower half at 6 o’ clock. Slim nickel hour and minute hands in the centre glide over twelve applied nickel indices (including a double). All these functions are controlled using the single crown at 3 o’ clock on the side of the steel case and are powered by a self-winding movement made by Frédérique Constant. It has a 42-hour power reserve. The strap with seven rows of steel links adds an extra touch of sophistication to the piece. Price: 3,190 CHF
