A Short History of the Frédérique Constant Heart Beat
Introduced in 1994, the Heart Beat collection quickly became Frédérique Constant’s most recognisable line. The signature open-heart aperture was designed to display the beating balance wheel, symbolising the watch’s mechanical soul. Later, the Manufacture series brought in-house calibres, representing a significant milestone for the young brand as it entered the world of true Swiss movement production. The Heart Beat Manufacture models embody this philosophy, combining classical design codes such as guilloché dials and Roman numerals with modern complications like moonphase displays, while showcasing the maison’s technical independence.
