Design DNA
The design DNA of the "Frederique Constant + Watch Angels Worldtimer Manufacture" is found in the exquisite elegance of its 3 piece dial and the half hemisphere sun and moon which devide night and day at midday and midnight - and in the subtle curves and sharp bevels of the perfectly balanced case which reflect the design codes of Frederique Constant.
All elements have been designed to make this a uniquely timeless, refined and contemporary elegant Geneva watchmaking timepiece.
A useful complication
A Worldtimer is not a creation of watchmakers for watchmakers, but a watch made to be routinely used in daily life.
This great horological invention intended for exploration and travel can be used to instantly read the exact time in the 24 world time zones, represented by 24 reference cities on the dial – with the added bonus of an immediate night or day indication.
With a World Timer the wearer can also immerse him- or herself in imaginary trips, or while connecting to people online across the globe.
"FC has come up with a new version of its WorldTimer with Watch Angels, and it’s a complete reinvention of the model that’s just dripping with Patek Philippe vibes.
The new case is a complete redesign and is far sleeker than before with more graceful curves, a mix of brushed and polished finishes and a more subtle, modern crown in place of the original’s old-school onion crown. It’s both better looking and more wearable.
This new WorldTimer reminds me of the elegant world-time watches Patek has released over the years, most notably the ref. 5230Pthat launched in 2022. That limited-edition watch — which originally retailed for around $75,000 and currently trades for about $55,000 — featured a platinum case and a blue dial with sun and moon indicators on its 24-hour ring.
This is easily the most beautiful and desirable WorldTimer Frederique Constant has ever made, and it finally gives the impressive Cal. FC-718 movement a worthy vessel."

The world is your oyster
Travelling professionals and global leaders or, simply, persons with families around the world, these are the obvious watch collectors that will be attracted by the prospects of owning a multiple time zone watch.
A World Timer is capable of showing multiple time zones around the world. The need for this type of watch has continuously increased since the last century as a result of globalisation.
FC-718. Accurate. Intuitive. Simple.
One can admire the renown in-house manufactured FC-718 mechanical self-winding movement with the typical Genevan finishes that Frederique Constant is so fond of, the "Côtes de Genève", the circular "Perlage" and the blued screws among them, through the oversized sapphire crystal display case back.
Highly user-friendly, its single crown can be used to set any function: hours, minutes, and the 24 cities disc that represents 24 world time zones.
No correctors or additional crowns come to crowd or clutter the elegant and refined case of this timepiece.
One of the most cherished models in the Frederique Constant "Manufacture Collection," the Worldtimer, has been reimagined with a fresh, future oriented, design identity crafted exclusively for the collectors' community.
This 40mm version introduces a smaller, refined, and elegant case while adopting a modern design direction, complementing the Maison’s highly successful 42mm model. This new iteration caters to the aesthetic preferences and wearability expectations of an important segment of the community, offering a versatile alternative to the classic larger size.
"Since our founding we innovate by collaborating with best-in-class manufacturers and partners. They are able to take us out of our comfort zone which is necessary for experimentation and innovation. The collaboration with Watch Angels situates itself within this framework and additionally brings us the feedback of a collector community further reinforcing our way of innovating which includes closely listening to the market".

Watchmaking excellence
The manufacturing process of a Frederique Constant "Manufacture" timepiece requires extensive manual labour and hi-tech machinery.
For this new Worldtimer two workshops produce the parts and each does what it comparatively does best. Frederique Constant manufactures the movement and Watch Angels manufactures the "habillage". The watch is assembled in the Frederique Constant Geneva workshops and all the details are executed mostly manually for the pure pleasure of high-quality watchmaking connoisseurs.
Comfortable
A concave case back, perfectly proprtioned and short lugs, as well as the 40mm case diamtere provide for a very comfortable wear and an unmistakable wrist stance.
Widely acclaimed
First presented in 2012 and widely acclaimed by the watchmaking community, the Classics Worldtimer Manufacture imposed itself in record-breaking time as one of Frederique Constant's most sold Manufacture timepieces and as a horological icon.
It is a special creation, dear to FREDERIQUE Constant’s history, which itself transcends borders. Now a must, it is celebrating its 13-year anniversary in 2025.
This new limited edition iteration comes to complement the 42mm Classics Worldtimer Manufacture. It introduces a smaller, refined and contemporary elegant case. It caters to the aesthetic preferences and wearability expectations of an important segment of the watch enthusiast community, offering a versatile alternative to the classic larger size.
Co-innovation
This timepiece has been co-designed, co-developed, and co-produced by Frederique Constant and Watch Angels. This method of collaboration is rare in the watch industry and it serves the purpose of leaving the comfort zone in the interest of experimentation and innovation.

Reviews
Extrêmement rare qu’une marque accepte de modifier à ce point le design de l’une de cette montre dans le cadre d’une collaboration. A notre connaissance, c’est même du jamais vu et cela illustre bien l’ouverture d’esprit de Frederique Constant qui, concrètement, a accepté qu’une entité externe, imagine un autre design relativement éloigné de celui d’origine ! Eh bien lui en a pris puisque cette montre s’avère très réussi. Cette nouvelle version -car il s’agit bel et bien d’une nouvelle montre- arbore un boîtier plus petit au design épuré et très élégant.
