Introducing: The Frederique Constant Manufacture Perpetual Calendar, A Full Perpetual Calendar Under $10,000
If we had to pick one trend that seems to most characterize Baselworld 2016, it'd probably be the pursuit of better value for consumers – or at least, the attempt to create for consumers the impression that watches can offer better value, relative to the competition. One of the most notable manifestations of this direction was the Manufacture Perpetual Calendar – a full perpetual calendar, developed and made in-house, by Frederique Constant, which will cost under CHF 10,000 at launch.
