Frederique Constant - FC-760MC4H6

The watch offers the FC-760 caliber. This is a movement which took six years to get right. It’s a fly-back, meaning you can reset the chronograph hand without stopping it first, useful for timing laps, for example, or any two events that follow each other instantly. Developing a chronograph is never easy, and it's something to be applauded for sure, but it's worth noting despite the dial's looks (more on that later) this is a two-register chronograph that only times up to 30 minutes.

It’s an automatic chronograph, originally developed by Frederique Constant’s prodigious technical director, Pim Koeslag, and entrusted to Alpina (a sister brand) before making its full debut in an actual FC collection, still with the same modular construction and surprisingly short components list. But this time it is cosmetically enhanced, which is a good thing since it is fully exposed, gold rotor and all, through a sapphire caseback.
