Description

uFollowing the worldwide and ongoing success of the unique Healey timepieces dedicated to the amateurs of the mythical British sports car that carries the same name, Frdrique Constant now presents its latest: the Runabout. An elegant duo of automatic chronographs with a design perfectly adapted to the fascinating and nostalgic, teak-wooden luxurious motor yachts of the 1920\s, created to celebrate the brand\s involvement in the annual ‘Hlice Classique\. A sophisticated event honouring the classical Runabout yachts and organized by the on Lake Geneva, Switzerland. In-line with the brand\s codes, this outstanding timepiece with its classical yet contemporary design features meticulous finishing and detailing. Presented in steel or in rose gold plated, the rounded case with a diameter of 43mm is hand-polished and exposes a finely decorated dial with a Pav de Paris guilloch decoration. The applied and polished indexes, following the material used for the case, guarantee clear readability. As a delicate hint to the maritime theme, a boat\s propeller is engraved on the case back and a ‘porthole\offers a glimpse of the movement. To emphasize on the special value of this timepiece, it is delivered in a gift box that offers a miniature duplicate of a legendary Runabout yacht. With this new model, Frdrique Constant again capitalizes on its key brand values, offering high quality timepieces in the Accessible Luxury-segment. After its slogan Live your Passion, Frdrique Constant dedicates this new watch to the passionate sailors, fascinated by the style and grace of the famous Runabout yachts…
