Frederique Constant 40Hz movement

Post by Noush »

Found on Monochrome Watches channel. Anyone seen this?

A new manufacture movement with 40Hz beat rate, yes 80 ticks per second. Rather smooth second hand sweep then :)
Rather cool development and 80 hour power reserve.
Not keen personally on Open Hearts but I understand why they've done it this way.
LE release in the first instance and this is what it looks like -

I watched the YouTube video (part of it at least). Keith Stone would be impressed by how smooth it is.

Kind of pricey though at nearly $5k, but it’s also an LE. What’s the accuracy on it? Their website doesn’t say it’s a chronometer.

It is pretty cool though. Basically 288,000vph if my math is correct?
