Burgundy for a Perpetual Calendar

@frederiqueconstant provides its attainable Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture with a new look: a sunray-brushed burgundy dial that adds warmer character to the 2025-updated model.

The 40mm steel case keeps its rounded bezel, softened lugs, and fluted onion crown. Water resistance is 50m.

The burgundy dial features the applied, diamond-cut indices , and time is indicated by the polished hands. The calendar displays remain classically arranged: day at 9 o’clock, date at 3, and month and leap year at 12. A moonphase display with a midnight-blue, star-decorated sky completes the layout.

The in-house automatic FC-776 combines a perpetual calendar module with a base movement, delivering a 72-hour power reserve. Through the sapphire caseback, the decorated movement reveals perlage, fan-shaped Côtes de Genève and a gold-plated rotor.

Limited to 100 pieces, CHF 10,295.

Des jolies montres à tarif contenu.. oui ça existe encore !

Deux marques sœurs. Deux personnalités qui n’ont visiblement pas grandi dans la même manufacture.. et pourtant.

Chez Frédérique Constant, on sort la belle chemise : cadrans travaillés, petite seconde, phase de lune, proportions classiques… 🌙 j’adore cette neo vintage Moneta qui rappelle une pièce de monnaie.

Chez Alpina, on ouvre la fenêtre du cockpit : plus sport, plus coloré, plus décontracté et plus maritime avec la route du rhum qui ouvre sa 13e édition.

Et au milieu de tout ça, quelques jolies surprises.

Ma préférée ?
La Moneta de FC qui présente une montre vintage. Des efforts de design quand d’autres tombent dans le vintage naphtaline avec les ennuyeux index faussement patinés et un design sorti des archives sans effort aucun. Ici FC a bien bossé !!

Et l’anecdote WTF vient d’Alpina : sa nouvelle Startimer Pilot Solarmetre peut tenir jusqu’à 10 mois dans l’obscurité totale après une charge complète.
Tu peux donc l’oublier dans un tiroir jusqu’à l’été prochain. Elle, au moins, ne t’en voudra pas. 😂

Deux visions très différentes de la montre suisse accessible.

Et franchement… il y en a une dans ce carrousel que j’aurais volontiers “oubliée” à mon poignet. 👀

Laquelle tu choisis ?

Smaller, Smarter and More Useful

@frederiqueconstant brings moonphase and date functions to a more compact Highlife, pairing its sporty tonneau-shaped case with a cleaner dial design. Measuring 39mm wide and 12.82mm thick, the stainless-steel case combines brushed and polished surfaces, offers 100m water resistance and a quick-change system for both bracelet and strap.

The Manufacture FC-716 automatic calibre beats at 28,800vph and provides 72 hours of power reserve.

The blue and rosé champagne dials feature a sunray finish and leave out the collection’s usual globe motif, while the combined moonphase and date display at 6 o’clock brings a more classical touch, with a realistic moon against a starry sky and a peripheral date scale.

Delivered with a five-link steel bracelet and blue Saffiano calfskin strap, the Highlife Moonphase Date Manufacture is priced at CHF 4,495.

❤️ MES COUPS DE CŒUR DES GENEVA WATCH DAYS 🇨🇭

J’en ai essayé beaucoup.. vraiment beaucoup.
Mais ces montres m’ont vraiment marqué, dans l’ordre croissant de wahou:

💜 Speake Marin Piccadilly —même si les couleurs sont inspirées de maisons londoniennes, pour moi c’est The Provençale, une cigale à l’accent british.

🎨 Oris × Gonzo — du Muppet, de la couleur et du second degré : Gonzo n’avait clairement rien à faire sur une montre… donc évidemment j’adore.

🌅 Schwarz Etienne 1902 Petite Seconde “Heure Dorée” — un cadran qui capture cette lumière de fin de journée où tout devient instantanément plus beau.

🔔 Leroy Répétition Minutes — inspirée des montres à tact : minimaliste en apparence qui cache « juste » une répétition minute..

🩵 Frédérique Constant — ce cadran a simplement de la gueule. C’est beau .cest bien fait. C’est pas cher.

🌇 AWAKE Sunset — un coucher de soleil au poignet. Et contrairement au vrai, celui-là tu peux le regarder toute la journée.

🤪 M.A.D.3 — une montre qui rassemble 2 légendes de l’horlogerie @calabrese.vincent et @maxbusser

🇯🇵 Naoya Hida — discrète de loin, obsessionnelle de près : le Japon dans ce qu’il sait faire de plus méticuleux. Une CLAQUE DE BONHEUR, c’est nippon ni mauvais c’est juste parfait.

🧬 Genus — ici, on ne se contente plus d’afficher l’heure : on la met en mouvement.. en émail. Bravo @matteo_stauffacher

🇨🇭 legarde — une nouvelle marque qui débarque et qui fait BOOM 🤯

Et puis il y a ELLE. ❤️

🏆 Girard-Perregaux Laureato Tourbillon

Le bracelet intégré.
Le tourbillon à 6 h.
Et surtout ce cadran tapisserie réalisé en OR qui prend complètement vie avec la lumière.

Sur le papier, j’aurais peut-être choisi autre chose.

Au poignet : game over.

C’est celle que j’ai eu le plus de mal à rendre.
Et ça, en horlogerie, c’est généralement un très mauvais signe pour le compte bancaire. 😂

👉 Tu peux en voler UNE dans cette sélection. Tu prends laquelle ?

Day four and the final day of Geneva Watch Days 2026 🇨🇭
A packed final stretch of meetings, new releases, familiar faces and plenty of watch nerdery before wrapping up another memorable edition in Geneva 🙌

#genevawatchdays #tidssonen

First up: espresso with a resurrected giant. ☕️✨ At Ultima Quai Wilson, the mighty Universal Genève held court

Stepping out of the elevator felt less like arriving at a watch appointment and more like walking into a 1960s couture maison. 🕰️🇨🇭 A fitting setting for the revival of such a legendary name. ✨

They’ve really nailed the relaunch. 👌✨
Just look at this hardstone-dial Polerouter.

Before you ask: the proportions are spot on, and the bracelet feels more like jewelry than horology. ✨

Of course, the Microtor is back as well. 🔄⌚️ The new UG-110 is a proper modern interpretation of the original concept: a 3.8 mm-thick, 4Hz micro-rotor calibre with a generous 72-hour power reserve. The movement is developed for Universal Genève and produced in Fleurier by Swiss specialist LTM (Le Temps Manufactures)🇨🇭

My personal favorite: the reissue of the Nina Rindt. 🐼❤️ A faithful revival of the legendary “Nina Rindt” Compax, with its unmistakable reverse-panda layout, pump pushers and clean, beautifully balanced dial and case proportions

Also available in precious metals, with this absolutely stunning dial. ✨

The legendary Cabriolet is back. 🔄✨ First introduced in 1933 as the Ideo, its reversible case is pure Art Deco ingenuity. The new version draws heavily on the work of French artist and type designer A. M. Cassandre

Flip it over and you get an entirely different side of the watch.

The revival is powered by Universal Genève’s new UG-111 manufacture calibre, a slim hand-wound movement with a 72-hour power reserve. ⚙️🇨🇭

Next up: back to Beau-Rivage for the novelties from MB&F. 🚀⌚️

The M.A.D.3 is here! And what a way to bring it to life — with a jump-hour display where the hour disc rotates into position, while the minutes continue to sweep around the dial. ⏱️✨

And there’s a nice twist to the two colours: the pink edition is reserved for the MB&F Tribe, while the blue edition is available through a public raffle

A Turquoise Seastrong

Route du Rhum is a transatlantic single-handed yacht race held every four years, and in 2026 @alpinawatches celebrates the nautical spirit with the compact Seastrong Diver Extreme Automatic Route du Rhum edition.

Based on the 39mm model introduced in 2024, it replaces the original’s bright orange accents with a turquoise-and-black colour scheme inspired by the Atlantic and the famous sailing race. The stainless-steel case combines brushed and polished surfaces with a carbon-fibre compass bezel. Water resistance is 300m.

The turquoise dial is quite distinctive, featuring a grained surface engraved with a representation of Atlantic Ocean currents. Silver-coloured applied markers and luminous hands provide contrast, while a red-tipped seconds hand and red-highlighted date add small but effective accents.

The automatic AL-525 calibre, based on the Sellita SW200-1, beats at 28,800vph and provides 38 hours of power reserve.
Limited to 313 pieces, CHF 2,195.

A Compact Highlife with Moonphase and Date

@frederiqueconstant latest Highlife brings two classic complications to the collection in a more compact and versatile package. Measuring 39mm across and 12.82mm thick, the stainless steel case retains the sporty tonneau-shaped architecture of the Highlife, with brushed and polished surfaces, 100m water resistance and an interchangeable bracelet and strap system.
The dial is available in blue or rosé champagne, both with a sunray finish and no traditional Highlife globe pattern. At 6 o’clock, a combined moon phase and date display adds visual interest, with a realistic moon set against a starry blue sky and a peripheral date scale.

The watch is powered by the FC-716, Frederique Constant’s in-house automatic calibre, beating at 28,800vph and offering a useful 72-hour power reserve. The movement is visible through the sapphire caseback, with fan-shaped Côtes de Genève on its bridges.

Presented with both a five-link steel bracelet and blue Saffiano calfskin strap, the Highlife Moonphase Date Manufacture is priced at CHF 4,495.

A Mechanical Moneta

@frederiqueconstant new Classics Moneta Handwinding brings a mechanical movement to the retro-inspired model, following the 37mm quartz Moneta Moonphase introduced in 2024.

The new version is slightly larger, measuring 38.5mm x 10.13mm. The polished steel case features the distinctive coin-edge bezel positioned beneath the convex sapphire crystal. The grained salmon-coloured dial has a contemporary gradient effect and a recessed small seconds at 6 o’clock.

The watch is powered by calibre FC-435, a manual-winding customised version of the La Joux-Perret G100, operating at 28,800vph and delivering a 63-hour power reserve. Visible through the caseback, the movement features Côtes de Genève decoration.
999 pieces, CHF 1,995.

🌍 1 montre. 24 fuseaux horaires. Et soudain… Genève paraît toute petite.

Paris pour le café ☕️
Le Caire pour déjeuner 🐪
Sydney pour l’apéro 🦘
New York pour finir la journée 🗽

Non, je n’ai pas trouvé le bouton « téléportation ».

Mais j’ai au poignet une complication qui s’en approche dangereusement : la Frederique Constant Classic Worldtimer Manufacture.

Et contrairement à ce que son cadran spectaculaire pourrait laisser croire, son fonctionnement est presque déconcertant de simplicité.

🌍 24 villes = 24 fuseaux horaires
☀️🌙 un disque jour/nuit pour savoir immédiatement qui dort pendant que tu bosses
👑 le tout se règle depuis une seule couronne, sans poussoir supplémentaire
⚙️ et derrière : un calibre manufacture automatique FC-718

Le plus beau ?

Une fois réglée, tu peux lire l’heure dans les 24 fuseaux d’un seul regard.

Et ça, c’est toute la magie d’une vraie Worldtimer : elle ne te donne pas seulement l’heure ailleurs… elle met littéralement le monde au poignet.

✅Cette Frederique Constant Worldtimer est une super proposition avec un rapport qualité/prix/complication imbattable, moins de CHF 5000.
Cette montre ma toujours beaucoup plu et tenté mais les 42mm de l’ancienne version m’ont toujours rebuté.
❌Cette version 2026 est quasi parfaite.. SAUF l’épaisseur qui est le gros défaut. Pourquoi réduire la taille et pas l’épaisseur ? Incompréhensible.🤯

💡 FUN FACT 1
Le principe de la Worldtimer moderne est indissociable de Louis Cottier, horloger genevois qui développa dans les années 1930 un ingénieux système permettant d’afficher simultanément les heures du monde. Ses mécanismes équiperont notamment des pièces de Patek Philippe et Vacheron Constantin.

Alors maintenant, question cruciale :

👇 Si cette montre pouvait vraiment te téléporter… quelle serait ta PREMIÈRE destination ?

Moi, j’hésite encore entre Sydney… et Le Caire. 😏

Enregistre ce post pour enfin expliquer à ton pote la différence entre GMT et Worldtimer — et abonne-toi à @helvetic_tac pour d’autres histoires horlogères qui font voyager. ⌚️🌍
