Frederique Constant has been on an upward trajectory over the last few years. With clean aesthetics, improved movements, and elevated complications, the brand has created a penchant for broad appeal.
Recently, they released the Classics Moneta Solarmetre - a solar quartz watch that retains the classy design language familiar with FC.
According to the specs, the FC-120 movement provides up to ten months of reserve in total darkness, restarts in ten seconds upon exposure to light, and requires just one minute of ambient illumination to sustain a full day of operation.
What are your thoughts? Is solar the next wave of innovation?
