The Top 5 Frédérique Constant Watches in 2025

Frédérique Constant has always walked the fine line between Swiss luxury and sensibility — a brand that proves you can have elegance, innovation and impeccable finishing, without selling off your nan’s jewellery to afford it.

In 2025, their lineup continues to punch well above its weight, offering thoughtful complications and timeless aesthetics for collectors and newcomers alike.

Here are the top five Frédérique Constant watches of 2025 — from moonphases to tourbillons and everything in between.

1. Highlife Worldtimer Manufacture

Best for: The refined globetrotter who hates faff

The Classics Worldtimer is proof that good design doesn’t need to shout. With its warm grey dial, applied indices and Roman numerals, this model has a certain “old-world map room” charm about it. Crucially, it houses the same FC-718 movement found in the Highlife Worldtimer — which means no fiddly pushers or convoluted setting rituals. Everything is adjusted via the crown.

At 42mm, it wears confidently but not aggressively. And with Geneva stripes, perlage, and a date subdial that mimics a compass, it’s a watch that rewards a closer look — without screaming for attention. Our favourite is the green faced option photographed. Yummy!

RRP: £3995
Wrist appeal: James Bond if he’d gone into publishing.

2. Slimline Moonphase Date Manufacture

Best for: Romantic realists

This one’s for the dreamers — and those who like their watches slim enough to slide under a cuff but smart enough to carry a moonphase and date complication with aplomb. The new green dial option is a welcome refresh, offering subtle shimmer and a more contemporary lean.

Powered by FC’s own manufacture movement, it’s elegant, poetic, and practical — like a Jane Austen novel, but with better timekeeping.

RRP: £3,395
Wrist appeal: Elegance in orbit.

3. Classics Tourbillon Manufacture

Best for: Show-offs with standards

Tourbillons are the horological equivalent of supercars — typically expensive, occasionally over-the-top, and often reserved for people with gold-plated espresso machines. But Frédérique Constant's Classics Tourbillon keeps things refined.

It’s open-hearted, hand-finished, and mesmerising to watch. In 2025, it’s still the most affordable Swiss Tourbillon with this level of polish, and still turns heads in all the right ways.

RRP: £12,000+ if you can get hold of one
Wrist appeal: Boardroom bravado meets Geneva grace.

4. Runabout Automatic Limited Edition

Best for: Nautical types and weekend posers

The latest Runabout LE pays tribute to the golden age of pleasure boats — all mahogany, chrome and casual wealth. This year’s blue and brushed silver combo feels particularly current, and the engraved caseback makes it feel like a genuine collector’s piece (even if you’re more canal boat than Riviera yacht).

Inside beats the FC-303 movement, keeping everything ship-shape. It’s charming, a little nostalgic, and totally wearable.

RRP: £1,595
Wrist appeal: More “weekend in Whitstable” than Monaco Grand Prix, but in the best way.

5. Vintage Rally Healey Automatic Small Seconds

Best for: Brit‑car buffs and lovers of character

The show‑stopper you asked for: a limited‑edition nod to Austin‑Healey’s iconic racing heritage. With just 888 steel units made, this 40mm piece sports a racing‑green matte dial, red-tipped small‑seconds at 9 o’clock, and a date window at 3 o’clock. Inside beats the FC‑345 automatic (based on a Sellita SW‑200): 31 jewels, 28,800 vph, 38‑hour power reserve. The polished case, convex sapphire, engraved Healey NOJ 393 car‑back, and perforated rally strap complete the ensemble. Water‑resistant to a sensible 50 m, enough for motorway drizzle, not Bathurst buffetings.

RRP: £1,595
Wrist appeal: Charismatic nod to classic motorsport—without taking itself too seriously.

 

Final Thoughts

Frédérique Constant's 2025 range shows a brand at ease with its identity: one that values craftsmanship, class, and complications — but never forgets the wearer. Whether you're chasing time zones, gazing at the moon, or simply appreciating a good bit of Geneva gearwork, there's something here that deserves your wrist.

Because in a world of smartwatches and fashion fluff, it’s nice to know someone’s still making proper watches. Without the drama.
