Frederique Constant Highlife Perpetual Calendar Manufacture

History

More than two decades before, Frederique Constant had the epiphany of creating a timepiece pierced through the Swiss watchmaking industry. The Frederique Constant Highlife collection was launched in 1999 with its integrated bracelet and a masculine persona. After years of hiatus, the collection was revived again in 2020. The Highlife from the 90s featured an easily detachable integrated bracelet and the modern Highlife carried forward that tradition to this day. This easily detachable bracelet can be clubbed with various straps such as steel and leather.

The Highlife

Bringing in a wide range of variations, the Highlife collection holds timeless elegance and minimalistic characteristics. One such example of minimalism and elegance is the Highlife Automatic Skeleton. Exposing the FC-310 automatic movement inside, the Highlife Skeleton is available in limited numbers. Another series of timepieces that reflect the mechanical acumen of the brand is the Highlife Automatic COSC. A series of timepieces equipped with the COSC-certified FC-303 automatic calibre that offers a power reserve of approximately 38 hours. The Highlife collection also has a heartbeat variant called the Highlife Heart Beat Automatic which features a heartbeat window at the 12 o'clock marker. Expanding further, the collection features a chronograph iteration called the Highlife Chronograph Automatic. The series is fitted with a 30-minute counter, a 12-hour counter, and a seconds counter fixed at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock markers.

Highlife For Women

Celebrating the feminine side of the brand, the collection also features timepieces for women under the Automatic Sparkling, the Automatic, and the Automatic Heart Beat. The Highlife Automatic Sparkling series is an elegant representation of a starry sky with sparkling decoration, diamond-studded indexes and a bezel. The Highlife Automatic Heart Beat is equipped with a heartbeat window on the 12 o'clock marker.
