The Frederique Constant Flyback Chronograph Manufacture represents the brand's recent efforts to develop high quality in-house movements with complications at a very reasonable price point.While haute horologerie is a bit of a stretch,this movement,along with the in-house perpetual calendar found in the Manufacture Perpetual Calendar,is an impressive achievement for the brand and its technical team.
Frederique Constant Flyback飞返计时码表，代表品牌努力尝试在很合理的价格点上研发高质量、复杂的的自家机芯。高级制表技术得到了延伸，这个机芯以及在制造内部日历中的万年历，都是品牌及其技术团队令人印象深刻的成就。

 

The caliber FC-760 is a modular movement with a column wheel activated flyback chronograph complication.To reset and start a traditional chronograph,you have to first stop it with the top pusher and then reset it using the bottom pusher.The flyback functionality circumvents this and you can reset the hands to zero while it's still running.This is useful when you have to time successive intervals with minimal delay,like lap times on a race track for example.The other interesting feature of the flyback module,is the column wheel.
FC-760机芯是一款具有柱轮激活的回扫复杂的计时码表机芯。要重置和启动传统的计时码表，您必须先用顶部推杆停止，然后使用底部推杆重新设置。反激功能规避了这一点，您可以在手表仍然运行时将它重置为零。当您以最小的延迟以连续的间隔进行连续时间，例如赛道上的圈数时，这种方式很有用。反激组件的另一个有意思的特征是柱轮。
 

 

Generally considered to be superior to cam activation,a column wheel mechanism is also more expensive to manufacture,especially in this case as Frederique Constant uses a patented star-shaped column wheel which it claims provides a smoother operating feel while using fewer parts.I reckon that the motivation behind simplifying the mechanism is not just for bragging rights,but to also increase the robustness of the movement and make it easier to service and maintain,something modular chronographs are not well known for.
通常认为柱轮机构优于凸轮激活，柱轮机构的制造也更昂贵，特别是在这种情况下，由于康斯登使用获得专利的星形柱轮，其所声称的在使用较少部件时提供更平滑的操作感觉。我认为，简化机制的动机不仅仅是吹牛的权利，而且还增加了运动的坚固性，并使其更容易维护和维护，某种模块化计时码表并不为人所知。
 

 

Frederique Constant has also realized that good watchmaking is equal parts sound mechanics and refined design/finishing.The movement is well decorated with perlage,Geneva stripes,and heat-blued screws,which are not often seen at this price point.A rose-gold plated steel rotor tops off the entire movement,which is of course visible through a sapphire crystal case back.My only concern with the movement is its relatively low power reserve of 38 hours,but it's forgivable here considering the overall value.
康斯登也认识到，良好的制表是相同等级的零件结构和精致的设计/精加工。这个运动装饰精美，日常条纹和热蓝色螺丝，在这个价格点上经常看不到。一个玫瑰金镀钢转子顶部整个机芯，这当然可以通过蓝宝石水晶表壳背面看到。我唯一关心的是38小时的动力储备相对较低，但考虑到整体价值，这是可以原谅的。
 

 

While the movement is definitely where most of the interesting bits of the watch are,the dial and the rest of the watch aren't far off.The watch is immediately recognizable as a dressy chronograph suitable for daily wear.The refined dial,with baton indexes and lumed alpha hands,makes for a tasteful presentation.While the dial layout is similar to a three register chronograph,a closer look will reveal that the sub-dial at 6 o'clock is not an hour totalizer but a date display.I think this was a smart design choice as a date window would have definitely ruined the overall aesthetic of the watch,especially if they had placed it at 4:30 like we've seen in many other chronographs.
虽然机芯绝对是手表的大部分有趣的地方，表盘和手表的其余部分也一样有意思。这手表立即评为是适合日常穿着的正装计时码表。精致的表盘，棒形指针，让您感受到美观、优雅。而刻度盘上有三个计时表盘，仔细观察显示，6点钟的子表盘不是一个小时的累加器，而是一个日期显示。我认为这是一个聪明的设计选择，因为日期窗口肯定会破坏手表的整体美感，特别是如果将它放在4:30，就像我们在许多其他计时码表中看到的那样（普通）。
 

 

The dial is completed by a railway track chapter ring and a rather minuscule pulsometer scale.The addition of the pulsometer offers little utility and I can't help but feel that the watch would be just as good,if not better with it left off.The dial is offered in three variants;silver,dark gray,and silver with a hobnail texture.The hobnail textured dial is the black sheep of the group and comes with Roman numeral indexes instead of batons,Breguet hands,and no pulsometer scale.
表盘由铁路轨道圈设计和相当微小的脉搏计量表完成。脉搏计的添加提供了较少的实用性，我感觉作用不大，如果没有变得更好，这就要舍弃。表盘有三种型号：银色、深灰色和银色带有平头钉的纹理。平头钉的纹理表盘是系列中比较特别的款式，带有罗马数字指标而不是棒形时标，宝玑指针，无脉搏计。
 

 

All of this is housed in a 42mm case,offered either in stainless steel or rose-gold plated stainless steel options.The rectangular chronograph pushers and fluted crown help complete the dress watch look.While the bezel on the case is thin and leaves the dial in the limelight,the lugs are interestingly finished with a brushed top,polished sides,and for lack of a better way to describe it,have a perlage edge instead of the usual sharp edge.This lug design,with the thin but rounded case helps slim down the appearance of the watch,making it look smaller on the wrist than you might expect.The watch has a 50m water resistance rating,which can be seen as somewhat of a standard for dress watches.
所有这些都放置在42mm的表壳中，提供不锈钢或玫瑰金镀不锈钢的选择。长方形计时码表推拉器和有凹槽的表冠有助于打造正装手表的外形。虽然表壳上的表圈很薄，让表盘成为注目点，但表耳有趣地完成了一个拉丝的顶部，抛光的表耳面，缺乏更好的方式来描述它，就是具有圆润珍珠般的边缘而不是通常的锋利边缘。这种表耳设计，薄但圆形的外壳有助于减轻手表的外观，使其在手腕上看起来比您所期望的更轻、小。手表具有50米防水等级，可以看作是正装手表的一个标准。
 

 

While all available combinations of dial and case look good,my favorite is the stainless steel version with a dark gray dial.Unfortunately,the steel with dark gray dial and rose-gold with silver hobnail dial are not available within the US.All watches ship with an alligator leather strap and a rather unique looking deployant.I should mention here,that the same movement within a functionally similar watch is available from Alpina(which is owned by Frederique Constant),in the guise of the Alpina 4 Flyback Chronograph.However,the prices are not far off from each other,and this looks significantly better in my opinion.
虽然表盘和表壳的所有可用组合看起来都很好，但我最喜欢的是带有深灰色表盘的不锈钢版本。不幸的是，在美国境内没有提供带有深灰色表盘和玫瑰金镀银银色表盘的不锈钢版。所有手表都配有鳄鱼皮表带和相当独特的外观设计。我应该在这里提到，同一个机芯也运用在Alpina（由Frederique Constant所有）在功能类似手表中，就是艾沛勒Alpina 4 Flyback计时码表中。不过，价格相差并不遥远，看起来比我想象中要好。
 

 

I've never been the biggest fan of Frederique Constant's offerings in the past,mostly due to not feeling a real emotional response to many of them,but if the Flyback Chronograph Manufacture is a sign of things to come,then I will be paying close attention to them in the future.Sure,the design may not be revolutionary,but this watch isn't about innovative design.It's about the movement and offering watch enthusiasts a mechanically interesting piece in a classic,familiar aesthetic.It's a refreshing and welcome example of the kind of value proposition the watch world can use more of.The Frederique Constant Flyback Chronograph Manufacture is available at retailers and online for $3,995 in steel and $4,295 in rose-gold plated steel.
过去，我从来不是Frederique Constant产品的最大粉丝，主要是由于没有感觉到对他们真正的情感，但是如果Flyback计时码表制造是未来的一个标志，那么我会在未来密切的注意他们。当然，设计可能不是革命性的，但是这款手表也不是创新的设计。这是关于机芯提供给机械表手表爱好者增添有趣的经典的审美，手表世界可以使用更多的这种价值主张，这是一个令人耳目一新的令人愉快的例子。康斯登Frederique Constant飞返计时码表在零售商和在线获得$3,995钢铁和$4,295玫瑰镀金钢。
