For the upcoming edition of the Only Watch charity auction, Frédérique Constant has prepared a special version of its famed Double Heart ladies’ model. This refined women’s watch with an automatic movement has a characteristic double heart shaped aperture on the top of the dial which reveals the movement’s balance wheel. In order to make it different from the other similar models, the watchmaker has created a unique version with a case paved with diamonds and additional decorations. However, this is not the whole story, since Fredrique Constant offers its watch with full-cut diamonds ornaments accompanied with a three piece jewelry set which consists of a bracelet, a pendant and a pair of earrings.

Frédérique Constant first introduced its Heart Beat models in the mid 1990s when mechanical watches were making a comeback. In order to make a clear distinction between its mechanical watches and a less refined quartz models, the Swiss watchmaker opted to make an aperture on the dial which will reveal its balance wheel. This allowed the wearer to see how the balance wheel turns both ways on its axes as it is controlled by a hairspring which intermittently coils and uncoils. Unlike the initial models from the series which had round shaped apertures on their dials, the watch offered at the Only Watch 2013 will feature an opening in the shape of a double heart. This feminine trait (which in this instance has an additional meaning which symbolizes the compassion and solidarity with the children affected with Duchene muscular dystrophy) was previously seen in several of the model’s iterations which were intended for the ladies.
