Swiss watch manufacturer Frederique Constant known for its unique and classical watches is delighted to present you a new model within its successful Vintage Rally Collection: the Healey Chronograph Automatic.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Frederique Constant has been for many years involved in various forms of motor-sports, especially with vintage car rallies, as the brand is a long-standing and faithful partner of the famous Austin Healey car brand. Lately we were very honoured to welcome 4 original Austin Healey cars from the Southern Counties Club to our Manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates. The four drivers came from the United Kingdom with their beautifully conserved vintage Healey cars.<\/p>\n

Driving for a tour of Switzerland and Italy, they were curious about the partnership of the watch manufacturer and the car-maker. They were impressed by our working facilities and capabilities. It was a perfect occasion for us to show to real Austin Healey enthusiasts our new Vintage Rally Healey Chronograph \u2013 and they loved it. Their passion for these vintage cars mirroring our passion for watches was intense.<\/p>\n

Both car-maker and watchmaker have in common the engineering, the innovation and the artistic impression. Mechanical genius never ceases to excite and delight, especially when that marvel is a perfectly tuned engine in a fast-moving machine. Whilst beautifully crafted sports cars are an absolute fascination, so are timepieces.<\/p>\n

Both are high-precision machines meant for ultimate use and pleasure. With this in mind, our designers created the Vintage Rally Healey chronograph, a timepiece with a motorsports heritage that combines timeless contemporary design with sporty elegance.<\/p>\n
