Frédérique Constant launches Classics Art Déco Oval, a feminine collection comprising nine models radiating a distinctively retro charm. Created in the 1920s style, the watches feature oval cases with fluted casebands and mirror-polished bezels, available in steel, yellow gold-plated steel and diamond-set steel versions. The silver-toned dials bearing Arabic or Roman numerals and swept over by hollow-tipped hands are enhanced by delicate central guilloché motifs, and some with mother-of-pearl inlays around the rim. These dainty models may be secured to the wrist with a metal bracelet matching the case or a grey or brown satin strap. Driven by a quartz movement, these glamorous creations are, as one has come to expect from Frédérique Constant, available at extremely affordable prices. Women who fall under their spell will thus be able to afford several versions procuring a pleasurable sense of variety.
