Heritage & Detailing
The Runabout collection was launched by Frederique Constant in 2009 as a tribute to the classic wooden yachts of the 1920s, vessels prized for their highly polished wood, gleaming chrome and glistening glass. In 2013, Frederique Constant formalised a partnership with the Riva Historical Society, an organisation founded in Milan in 1998 to preserve the legendary runabout boats designed by Carlo Riva, uniting the watchmaking heritage of Lake Geneva with the boatbuilding heritage of Italy’s Lake Iseo.
In keeping with that partnership, every Runabout timepiece is presented alongside a miniature replica of one of these iconic wooden yachts, moored beside the watch in its display box — a tangible link between watchmaking and nautical craftsmanship rather than a standard accessory. As a numbered limited edition of only 888 pieces, this particular reference is a genuinely scarce example of that pairing.
