The Classics Moneta Handwinding brings a new mechanical dimension to Frédérique Constant’s increasingly distinctive Moneta collection, pairing vintage-inspired aesthetics with a hand-wound movement developed by La Joux-Perret. Measuring 38.5mm, the watch is defined by the collection’s signature inner rehaut, featuring delicate fluting inspired by the edge of a coin—the detail that gives the Moneta its name. Its smoked salmon gradient dial fades into deep black at the periphery, framing polished applied hour markers, dauphine hands and a small-seconds display at 6 o’clock. Visible through the sapphire case back, the hand-wound calibre is finished with Côtes de Genève decoration and delivers an impressive 63-hour power reserve. Completing the neo-retro look is a black alligator leather strap with a small-scale pattern and vintage-inspired patina. Limited to just 999 pieces, the Classics Moneta Handwinding combines the design language of 1950s watchmaking with contemporary mechanical refinement, while remaining priced below €2,000.
