Frédérique Constant Highlife Worldtimer Manufacture automatic watch brown dial leather strap 41 mm

Two stars united

Since its inception, Frederique Constant has drawn on the expertise of its Geneva-based manufacture. It is there, in the cradle of watchmaking, that the House's FC-718 Worldtimer caliber was designed, produced and assembled. Today, it is a movement of its time: modern, precise and reliable, but also tried and tested. Its prominence in the Highlife collection is a first and represents a major turning point for the Maison.

A simple, precise and intuitive caliber

The FC-718 self-winding in-house movement has a power reserve of 38 hours. It is visible through the case back, which is water-resistant to 50 meters. One can admire the typical Geneva finishing that Frederique Constant is so fond of, including the circular graining and the côtes de Genève.

Design

The Highlife Gents models have a 41mm case, available in a variety of materials. The absence of lugs offers more flexibility and allows the watch to rest naturally on the wrist. The integrated version is infinitely more complex to design than the lugs bracelets. The process requires perfect continuity between the lines of the case and the links, a smooth, even, but gradual transition to the clasp, and a natural flow that must be almost imperceptible.

An ingenious bracelet system

Frederique Constant launched the first models in the Highlife collection over 20 years ago. Their unique design was characterized by a special bracelet integrated into the case. Since then, the House has modernized this ingenious concept and energized the collection, equipped with the system that allows you to switch from a steel bracelet to a rubber version, between classic and sporty style in the blink of an eye!
