Frédérique Constant Highlife Ladies quartz blue dial with diamonds steel bracelet 31 mm

An iconic collection

Born in 1999, the Highlife collection has marked the history of Geneva-based Frédérique Constant. Since its launch, it has embodied the values that have contributed to the brand's success: a faithful design inspired by fine Swiss watchmaking, a high degree of finishing and particular care to offer the fairest price for affordable luxury. Back in 2020, it's more modern than ever! After several urban, sporty, jewelled or adventurous variations, the brand is opening up to a new universe by playing the glamour chic card.

Seventies design

This Highlife Ladies Quartz features a curved 31 mm-diameter case with a wide range of finishes alternating between satin-finished and polished surfaces. The same is true of the bezel, entirely mirror-polished to emphasize the harmony of its perfect circle. It is echoed by the blue dial with its sunray finish and diamond hour-markers.The delicate curved case also benefits from a satin finish whose angle hugs every line of the Highlife's design, all the way to the edge of the case middle where a steel bracelet unfurls. The latter alternates two satin-brushed links with a polished central link, a remarkable piece of finishing that testifies to the affection of the Frédérique Constant manufacture. This very chic bracelet has its shock counterpart in the form of a second bracelet (supplied) in rubber and buckle. It will either reinforce the modern, urban spirit of steel, or play for balance against chic, sporty rubber.

In brief

• A sporty-chic steel watch with an integrated bracelet and a very '70s look
