The Yacht Timer series dating back to the late 1990s, was created in partnership with Herbert Derksen of Tack and Gybe International (TNG). This collaboration resulted in a ground-breaking regatta timer that integrated the newly established racing regulations for yacht competitions, establishing a new benchmark in the world of sailing timepieces. The Yacht Timer series has developed throughout the years, reflecting Frederique Constant's commitment to designing practical and exquisite watches.
The Craftsmanship Of The Yacht Timer Series
The Yacht Timer collection has a visually appealing and practical design. The Regatta Countdown and Yacht Timer GMT have detailed dial work demonstrating the brand's commitment to detail. The Regatta Countdown, with its coloured indication disks, creates a dynamic visual experience with each minute of the countdown. The Yacht Timer GMT, on the other hand, emanates refinement through contrasting colours, such as the rose gold accents and red-tipped GMT hand, which offer a luxury look to this sporty timepiece. The hobnail finish on the dials adds to the collection's style, elevating its overall attractiveness.
A Peek Into the Features
The Regatta Countdown with its automated movement drives a visually and acoustically appealing countdown function. Meanwhile, The Yacht Timer GMT is a practical and beautiful option for tracking various time zones, making it suitable for long-distance travel. Both versions are housed in solid stainless steel or rose gold-plated casings, with sapphire crystals providing durability and water resistance up to 10 ATM. These characteristics and Frederique Constant’s distinctive artistry make the Yacht Timer line a standout addition to any watch collector's repertoire. Driven by the FC-350 movement, the Yacht Timer's GMT function utilises an in-house module positioned on the dial side. This automatic movement provides a 38-hour power reserve, operates at a frequency of 28,800vph, and includes a date display at three o’clock.
