Beaubleu Unveils Seconde Française: A Contemporary Tribute to French Horological Artistry

Beaubleu Unveils Seconde Française: A Contemporary Tribute to French Horological Artistry

Limited to 888 Pieces, the Seconde Française Collection Marries Timeless Design with French Craftsmanship

Beaubleu, the Parisian watchmaker renowned for its poetic approach to timekeeping, proudly introduces the Seconde Française collection. This latest release reimagines the classic sector dial through a modern lens, encapsulating the essence of French elegance and innovation.

Founded in 2017 by designer Nicolas Ducoudert-Pham, Beaubleu has consistently challenged traditional watchmaking norms. The Seconde Française collection continues this legacy, featuring the brand's signature circular hands and a mesmerizing floating second hand that appears to levitate above the dial—a testament to Beaubleu's commitment to blending artistry with horological precision.

Distinctive Design Meets French Craftsmanship

The Seconde Française collection comprises two distinct references:

  • Reference 19.24: A nod to vintage aesthetics, this model showcases a grained or enamel-like dial adorned with fine railway scales and 18th-century-style Indo-Arab numerals. Available in four captivating hues—Midnight Blue, Ivory White, Imperial Green, and Anthracite Gray—each piece exudes timeless charm.
  • Reference 20.24: Embracing a minimalist and contemporary design, this variant features a 3D-effect dial with embossed indices, devoid of numerals, creating a sleek and modern appearance. Offered in Pearl Gray and Salmon, the dial's monochromatic palette is complemented by luminous circular hands.

Both models are housed in a 39mm stainless steel case, measuring 10.2mm in thickness, and are water-resistant up to 50 meters. The hidden crown at 3 o'clock ensures a seamless silhouette, while the double-domed sapphire crystal adds depth and clarity to the dial.

Powered by French Precision

At the heart of the Seconde Française collection lies the France Ébauches FE 233-60 automatic movement, a testament to Beaubleu's dedication to French watchmaking excellence. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering a 46-hour power reserve, this movement is visible through the transparent case back, revealing the intricately designed oscillating weight and balance bridge.
