That is ten times faster than most mechanical clocks. Thanks to its innovative design and smaller size, this revolutionary high-frequency silicon oscillator also fits into a traditional watch configuration. So in so doing, it is theoretically compatible with many all common timepieces.<\/p><h3>CONCEIVED IN DELFT<\/h3><p>The idea behind the monolithic oscillator originated three years ago during a meeting between Peter Stas, co-founder and former CEO of Frederique Constant, and Dr Nima Tolou, founder and CEO of Flexous, an innovative watch technology arm of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yesdelft.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YES!Delft<\/a><\/strong>, a Dutch tech incubator specialising in bendable or flexible mechanisms. After their meeting, the team at Frederique commissioned Constant Flexous to produce a flexible oscillating system. The technical objectives were clear: a size similar to that of a traditional balance, a power reserve of 80 hours and a design that would allow manufacture of significant quantities at a reasonable price.<\/p><h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12092 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Frederique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_Workshop_1_HD-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Frederique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_Workshop_1_HD-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Frederique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_Workshop_1_HD-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Frederique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_Workshop_1_HD-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Frederique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_Workshop_1_HD-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Frederique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_Workshop_1_HD-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Frederique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_Workshop_1_HD-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Frederique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_Workshop_1_HD-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Frederique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_Workshop_1_HD-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Frederique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_Workshop_1_HD-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>1 INSTEAD OF 26 PARTS<\/h3><p>In this monolithic oscillator, Frederique Constant replaces the 26 parts of a traditional regulator (such as balance spring, balance, anchor, anchor wheel et cetera) with a single part with two regulating weights. The oscillator is made of monocrystalline silicon, this material scraps the weakest points of a traditional balance spring. Monocrystalline silicon is 100% antimagnetic, resistant to temperature fluctuations, less sensitive to gravity and four times lighter than a conventional array. The absence of mechanical coupling also means less friction between and wear on the components. So less power is needed to drive the escapement wheel and oscillating system. Last but not least: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nl.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Silicium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">silicon<\/a><\/strong> need not be lubricated. This increases the long-term reliability of the escapement.<\/p><h3>SPEED-RESISTANT MOVEMENT<\/h3><p>Because a traditional paddlework cannot handle the breakneck speed of a 40 Hz regulator, Frederique Constant watchmakers designed a new basis for the movement - the automatic <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/frederiqueconstant.com\/collections\/new-arrivals\/products\/slimline-monolithic-manufacture-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">calibre FC-810<\/a><\/strong>. This calibre can operate at the speed of the new silicon oscillator and also offers a considerable power reserve of 80 hours.<\/p><h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12093 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Federique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6-_Hero_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_HD-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"788\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Federique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6-_Hero_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_HD-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Federique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6-_Hero_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_HD-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Federique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6-_Hero_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_HD-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Federique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6-_Hero_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_HD-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Federique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6-_Hero_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_HD-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Federique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6-_Hero_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_HD-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Federique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6-_Hero_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_HD-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Federique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6-_Hero_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_HD-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Federique_Constant_FC-810MC3S6-_Hero_Photo\u00a9Eric_Rossier_HD-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/>SLIMLINE MONOLITHIC MANUFACTURE<\/h3><p>Frederique Constant's Slimline Monolithic Manufacture, with three hands and date display, is the first model equipped with this pioneering movement.
