Frederique Constant Launches a Special Edition for the Middle East
The Arabic culture has been a precursor in the fields of mathematics, algebra and astronomy. For them, not only did the stars and the moon tell a story, but they dictated their daily lives. They used the stars and the moon to create the lunar calendar, which is still followed today. Nighttime and all its celestial movements hold the most important meaning in a Muslim's life and this is why Frederique Constant designed this watch with a midnight blue dial and incorporating a moonphase at 6 o'clock.
The Arabic Heritage Edition features Eastern Arabic numerals on the dial. The system was adopted by Arab mathematicians in Baghdad and passed on to the Arabs farther west. After one of his visits to the Maghreb region, Fibonacci later adapted these symbols to the numerals used today in western society.
