Swiss watch manufacturer Frederique Constant has introduced a new model to their Classics collection: the Classics Art of Porcelain. Limited to only 188 pieces, this unique watch sets itself apart from others in the collection with its handmade porcelain dial and large black roman numerals.
What speaks louder than its obvious beauty is the craftsmanship involved in creating the sleek porcelain dials. Frederique Constant went with the Zsolnay Porcelain Factory, a company that has been around for over two centuries. Established in 1800 by Miklós Zsolnay in Pécs, Hungary, and later taken over by his son, Vilmos Zsolnay. Vilmos led the factory to worldwide recognition through its innovative products at world fairs and international exhibitions, including the 187 World Fair in Vienna.
The Classics Art of Porcelain watch features a polished 3-parts stainless steel 40mm case, a porcelain dial with the words “Swiss made” at 6 o’clock, paying tribute to its Swiss origins, and the Roman numeral indexes around the face.

Driven by the FC-302 automatic calibre, with 25 jewels and a 42-hour power reserve, this watch features the hours and minutes functions. Its sapphire crystal case back allows owners to see the FC-302 in action. Lastly, the Classics Art of Porcelain is finished off with a black leather strap.
