In what can only be described as a union of innovation and craft, Watch Angels and Frederique Constant have come together to breathe new life into the Worldtimer watch. This exclusive design has been created for the discerning collectors who value a blend of the traditional and the modern. This collaboration was the hot topic of a recent SUPERLATIVE Podcast where Guido Benedini of Watch Angels and Niels Eggerding of Frederique Constant sat down with host Ariel Adams to spill the beans on this much-anticipated timepiece. Throughout the conversation, Guido and Niels emphasised the role played by the watch enthusiasts in the design process. This revolutionary customer-focused approach allowed the creators to imbibe invaluable feedback into the design, while carefully balancing it against market dynamics. Their strategy led to the creation of a truly unique Worldtimer that boasts a meticulously crafted FC-718 movement and carved an esteemed position for itself in the luxury watch market. Moreover, the discussion also threw light on several important aspects of the luxury watch industry, from designing a collector’s piece to setting the pricing in an ever-competitive market. The duo explored how understanding market demand and managing collaboration dynamics in the watchmaking industry is critical to the success of any timepiece. Finally, in an industry where competition is fierce and customers are discerning, offering unique, desirable timepieces is a necessity. And this collaboration has done exactly that - created a timepiece that not just tells time, but narrates a story of collaboration, input, and unique design.
