Make the Connect

Frederique Constant pioneered a new watch category by combining traditional horology with ultra-tech modern smartwatches to launch the Hybrid Manufacture, an unusual mixture of a classical automatic movement and a smartwatch module

At first glance, one might think that the Frederique Constant Hybrid Manufacture is just another Swiss watch. Quite the opposite! Thanks to a classic and beautiful case and dial, the Hybrid can be worn easily, adding elegance to any wrist. But behind this timeless appearance lies a mechanical calibre with great connected functionalities. The Frederique Constant Hybrid Manufacture is an unusual mixture of a classical automatic movement and a smartwatch module. 

What makes the Hybrid Manufacture stanD out? 

• Automatic with date adjustable by crown and connected counter adjustable by pusher.
• A connected module allowing different actions such as activity tracking, defining your objective like number of steps per day, quality and quantity of sleep, dynamic coaching (getting suggestions, tips and information tailored for your personal activities and goals) and a worldtimer (second time zone or local time in a 24-hour format). 
• A calibre analytics functionality that measures rate, amplitude and beat error of the manufacture automatic movement. All the results are communicated to the Hybrid App via Bluetooth and can be seen in the form of graphics over time.

The watch 

The Frederique Constant Hybrid Manufacture comes with three new models and two dial versions. A silvered dial for the polished stainless steel and rose gold-plated version and a navy blue dial in the steel rose gold-plated watch. The Hybrid family is fitted with FC-750V4H6 automatic Manufacture Hybrid calibre and a 38-hour power reserve plus a 7+ days battery life for the connected module that can be linked to its Hybrid’s companion application available both on Google Play and Apple Store.
