 The founders of the brand announced the brand’s donation of 50.000 US$ to Gwyneth Paltrow’s charity of choice: DonorsChoose.org. For each Ladies Automatic sold, $50 is donated to this foundation. This action enables the DonorsChoose.org to support education and sports for underprivileged children in the USA.

 To celebrate this launch, guests enjoyed a gala dinner,

Surrounded by the emblematic couture masterpieces created by the legendary fashion designer: Azzedine Alaïa. The presented creations at the exhibition are symbols of the empowerment of women and mirror perfectly the passion, creativity and craftmanship invested into our Ladies Automatic watches. Overall, a perfect match for this unique event.

The brand’s iconic “Heart Beat” signature opening at 12 o’clock stands proudly on the decorated sunray dials. The four new colored Heart Beat dials are further enhanced by applied diamonds and Roman numeral indexes.

This emblematic “Heart Beat” aperture has been a renowned success for Frederique Constant over the years. It is a true expression of the brand’s interpretation of time.
