“Only Watch 2023” - Frederique Constant x Christiaan van der Klaauw Tourbillon Planetarium

Frederique Constant and Christiaan van der Klaauw, two prominent Dutch watchmaking houses, commemorate their 20-year horological partnership with a remarkable collaborative creation, the "Tourbillon Planetarium Only Watch 2023."

At its core, this masterpiece boasts Frederique Constant's renowned Manufacture Tourbillon, a meticulously crafted and hand-assembled marvel originating from their Geneva workshops. This high-end tourbillon is nestled within a bespoke 42mm Classic case, specially designed for this unique collaboration.

The crowning jewel of this timepiece is the world's smallest planetarium, a creation of Dutch watchmaking virtuoso Christiaan van der Klaauw. Known for their expertise in astronomical complications, this remarkable feature showcases six planets orbiting the Sun in real-time. Notably, Saturn's orbit, taking nearly 30 years to complete, is a testament to the precision and artistry behind this collaboration.

Additionally, a groundbreaking innovation in Frederique Constant's history is introduced within this exclusive piece: a combined date and month display using hands on a single counter. This practical and elegant addition enhances the watch's functionality while maintaining its aesthetic allure.
