How much does a Manufacture Slimline Moonphase cost?

The Manufacture Slimline Moonphase is one of the most impressive watches from Frédérique Constant. The 42-mm version is powered by the automatic in-house caliber FC-705. The women's model is a bit smaller at 39 mm in diameter, and its diamond-set bezel and dial give it a feminine touch. The Manufacture Slimline Moonphase Ladies is powered by the caliber FC-703. The power reserve of both the FC-705 and FC-703 is 42 hours. With a thickness of 11 mm, these classic dress watches are pleasantly slim. Their design is simple and elegant, and thanks to the thin bezel, large dial, and thin hands, the watch appears larger than it actually is. The date hand and moon phase displays are at six o'clock.

The men's version of the Manufacture Slimline Moonphase is available in stainless steel, gold-plated steel, or 18-karat rose gold. The dial is available in silver, blue, brown, or ivory, and thin indices are used as hour markers.

Are there alternatives with in-house calibers?

Frédérique Constant is unique amongst Swiss watch brands. It's one of the few that offer in-house calibers at affordable prices. Alpina has similar prices, although their chronographs, diving watches, and pilot's watches are more directed towards lovers of sports watches.

If you want a simple watch with an in-house caliber, then it's worth taking a look at the offerings from the German brand Nomos. They feature striking yet simple timepieces inspired by the Bauhaus movement. The company is based in Glashütte, only a few meters away from A. Lange & Söhne, one of the most famous German watch manufacturers.

One of the most popular models from the German manufacturer is the Tangente. This timepiece's dial is very clear. It features a small seconds at six o'clock. With a thickness of less than 7 mm, the wristwatch is very slim. Currently, the Tangente is available with a diameter of 33 mm, 35 mm, or 38 mm. The manual caliber Alpha is the movement powering these timepieces. If you prefer an automatic watch, then the Tangente Neomatik is a better choice. The particularly slim 3.2-mm in-house caliber DUW 3001 with Nomos's own patented Swing System powers the Neomatik version.

Pre-owned Tangentes are available for less than 1,000 euros, while you should plan on spending at least 1,200 euros for a new one. The Neomatik version of this classic Nomos timepiece costs 2,400 euros new.
