Frederique Constant Genève teams up with Cohiba cigars for an extraordinary limited edition

New York City – August 5th, 2010 – Frederique Constant is excited to introduce a new, passionate initiative, exclusively for the United States of America: the Frederique Constant for Cohiba Limited Edition timepieces.

Two companies specializing in refined products that are an expression of pure passion –exclusive cigars and luxury wristwatches- have jointly developed two exceptional watches that reflect the style and atmosphere of the Cohiba brand.

With its smooth case inspired by ‘Toro’ shaped cigars, the warm, ivory colored dial, the tobacco brown Roman numerals and the hand-sewn tobacco brown Crococalf strap, these watches form a tribute to the high-profile cigar brand that achieved ‘cult’ status under discerning connoisseurs the world over.

Presented in a luxurious giftbox that doubles as a humidor, and produced in a very limited edition of 188 numbered pieces in steel and 188 pieces in rose gold plated, these watches are already ‘smoking hot’ before their launch!

Frederique Constant and Cohiba will be launching these exclusive timepieces during a dedicated event on September 22nd, 2010 at Club Macanudo in New York City.  In the setting of New York City’s premier cigar bar, restaurant and lounge, VIP guests will discover for the first time the result of this exciting and unique partnership.
