  • Wei and Jeremiah take a closer look at Revolution's latest collaboration with Frederique Constant, a brand whose mission is to bring luxury to a wider audience. In 2021, Frederique Constant introduced the Slimline Monolithic, a watch that replaced all 26 components of the oscillator and escapement, instead employing a single silicon disc as the regulating organ which vibrated at 80 beats per second. This invention was nothing short of a quantum leap in the history of watchmaking and has the potential to redefine the architecture of watch movements.
    Together with Frederique Constant, we have taken this truly groundbreaking innovation and placed it in a watch with a classic aesthetic language from the 1940s. We are incredibly proud to present the Frederique Constant x Revolution Slimline Monolithic FP(S) that highlights the through line of watchmaking's past and future and at a price point that completely aligns with this independent watchmaker's noble mission.
    Priced at EUR 4,450, this is a limited numbered edition of 100 pieces and is available for purchase 6 April 2023, 10pm SGT | 4pm CET | 10am EST. Email shop@revolutionmagazines.com to register your interest.

    Stunning! Maybe one day Frederique Constant will get the respect it deserves as a brand.

    Ordered one of these beauties! I told myself I would own one of the monolithic watches - the tech is probably the most important advancement in mechanical watches in a very long time. I almost bought the first version, but the dial just didn't appeal to me. This one is a stunner.

    Another fab insight. What about Frederik Constant and their “new” silicon monolithic movement ? Why isn’t that getting much / any press ?
    It appears to be another groundbreaker, but… silence. 🤷‍♂️

    It's cool and all, however a few thing just don't gel: 1. Not a word on accuracy, and no advancement or else it would be published. 2. Everyone knows this monolithic escapement could be mass produced, and probably would be better for it, but FC only made a few hundred and now 100 pieces. Just like Zenith, artificial limited production. 3. Servicing post warranty. 4. The original was posted as "Coming soon" (still is) and then further down the FC page "Sold out." Yes, right. So to me it remains a nothing but a buzz in the background.

      You are totally correct! I was so excited to get the Zenith Defy Invertor I was ready not to buy my beloved Sub blusey to get that technology but after waiting for over 1,5 years I gave up. Let’s see how FC will go with this. Or if it’s the same flash in the pan just like Zenith?

    It's cool, but it's not a pleasing look at. In fact, it feels jarring and uncomfortable, like it's stuck.
