Frederique Constant Runabout
This was my first ever mechanical watch. I got it about 10 years ago. I had no idea about watches or movements or guilloche, or subdials or why on earth one might need a moon phase feature, but this thing captivated me. I still love it.
I realize the brand is not tremendously popular, but they make some fine watches and this watch still has one of the smoothest winds in my entire collection. The finishing is good and it keeps near perfect time. I don't wear it a lot (it's a 42mm which I find a little large), but I still have a soft spot for it.
It came in a nice wooden box with a powerboat in it.

Very nice watch. Has a classic look and I love that dial with the complications and texture. I like it!
Enjoy that watch!

Who cares about brand popularity? Frederique Constant have been well made watches and you have a beauty with a calendar and moon phase.
That is a beautiful watch. I too own an FC. In fact, it is on my wrist in my avatar.
Excellent time piece! This Swiss made automatic moon phase is a Banger! Frederique Constant is a well respected watch brand that will always hold it's value and true watch lovers will know you are wearing a classic!!
Nice looking watch!
