BETWEEN SEA, SKY AND SPACE.

Frederique Constant launched its Highlife collection over 20 years ago. In 2020 it returns to the forefront of the watch industry through the Maison. Today, the flagship model, the Highlife Perpetual Calendar Manufacture, is being offered in blue-grey for the first time.

First launched in 1999, the Highlife collection has shaped the history of Frederique Constant. It embodies the values that have contributed to the Maison’s success: a refined design that retains the characteristics and high quality of workmanship of Swiss Haute Horlogerie, and an affordable price that makes the luxury of a “Swiss Made” watch accessible to a wider public.

The Highlife Perpetual Calendar Manufacture, the flagship of this collection, is equipped for the first time with a deep blue dial in blue-grey, the trend color of contemporary watchmaking and manifesto of a color harmony between sea, sky and space.

The new dial is in blue, grey and black and represents the fleeting, magical moment when the day draws to a close to make way for the starry sky. The perpetual calendar expresses this by displaying both the days and the phases of the moon. It is complemented by the display of the date, month and leap years, all on a single dial that makes it easy and intuitive to read.

This new, bold blue-grey guarantees perfect legibility thanks to the contrast of the white typography and the highly polished and luminescent indices and hands. The day is displayed at 9 o’clock, the months and leap years at 12 o’clock and the date at 3 o’clock. The whole thing is completed by a moon phase display at 6 o’clock. Discreet correction pushers in the case wall allow all the displays to be set using the crown. In the center of the dial: the guilloché motif of the earth, the aesthetic signature of the Highlife collection.

The 41 mm case is fitted with a three-link bracelet with alternating polished and satin-finished surfaces. The bracelet without lugs nestles gently and naturally against the wrist. As a special feature of the Highlife collection, the strap is interchangeable and can be replaced without tools with a navy blue, textured rubber strap with decorative stitching, which is supplied with the watch.

To the delight of all watch enthusiasts, the Manufacture FC-775 self-winding mechanical movement can be admired on the back of the Highlife Perpetual Calendar Manufacture, which is decorated with fine beading and Côtes de Genève.
