Moser & Cie.In 2009 Frédérique Constant launched the limited edition Runabout series designed to celebrate the legendary “Runabout” yachts of the roaring 20s, which can still be seen today on Lake Geneva.

And secondly, by an original imprint representing the official Riva Historical Society flag, which features on the sapphire crystal of the watch. Firstly, by the individual number engraved on each watch. The exclusive nature of these editions, each of which is strictly limited to 2,888 pieces, is indicated on the back of each watch in two places. This maritime hue is picked up in the topstitching on the version that comes on a black calfskin leather strap and adorns the strap on the second model, which is finished with grey topstitching. Two luminescent hands glide over a date window at 6 o’clock and are complemented by a large central seconds hand in blued steel, recalling the colour of the great Italian lakes. The Swiss origins of these timepieces are revealed through the guilloché dial – a traditional finish in Swiss Made Fine Watchmaking – either anthracite grey or silvered, depending on the edition. Housed in a 42 mm steel case, the two new Runabout RHS Chronograph Automatic models share a tricompax chronograph (12 o’clock – 6 o’clock – 9 o’clock) powered by the automatic FC-392 calibre, ensuring a power reserve of 46 hours. From 1962, it produced certain models with a powerful motor (2 x 185 bhp) for enjoying the heady exhilaration of water sports on Lake Iseo, birthplace of the Riva. The 2020 collaboration will see the return of a complication that hasn’t been available for some years: the chronograph. Borrowing certain hallmarks relating to yachting and escapism, the “Runabout” line expresses the fine craftsmanship and luxury common to both enterprises and their creations. Each piece draws inspiration from Riva’s heritage, imagery and universe. Since their alliance in 2009, Frederique Constant has created many limited edition timepieces to support the noble work of the Riva Historical Society. This year, Frederique Constant is introducing its new Runabout RHS Chronograph Automatic model in honour of this collaboration and available in two limited series each composed of 2,888 pieces. The Riva Historical Society preserves the famous Riva, the legendary yacht that embodies the easy-going Italian way of life from the 20s to the 60s.
The Frederique Constant Runabout collection is a culmination of a prestigious partnership between the Swiss watch making company and Riva Historical Society.
