Celebrating 35 Years: Frederique Constant’s Limited Edition Watches with In-house Movements

However, for enthusiasts who prefer a more subtle appearance, the brand has also released a steel version with an attractive palette to compensate for the absence of a gold case. The dial is presented in a two-tone light and dark brown hue for a harmonious contrast, which is not a common combination. Delivered with a steel bracelet, as well as leather and rubber straps — all equipped with a quick-release system for easy changing — the result is a watch that is versatile for many occasions, making it a strong one-watch contender to bring on a trip.

Finally, the brand has also introduced a mid-size version of the Highlife, measuring at 34 mm and designed specifically for women. The new Highlife Ladies Automatic Sparkling distinguishes itself from the men’s version with a dial that’s textured and adorned with shiny dots, creating the impression of a starry night sky, particularly with the blue backdrop. Notably, the latest version features a lighter and more vibrant shade of blue than its earlier counterpart, echoing the Highlife’s casual-formal style.
