Frederique Constant Welcomes Women To The Highlife

After revealing its Highlife models last September, Frederique Constant adds a new collection dedicated to women – the Highlife Ladies Automatic Heart Beat.

Combining 30 years of watchmaking expertise with a deep-rooted desire to create a dedicated timepiece for the 21st century woman, Frederique Constant offers the Highlife Ladies Automatic Heart Beat. Featuring the collection's signature strap that has been built into the case, the Highlife Ladies Automatic makes an instant impression when it comes to choosing the correct watch for your wrist. The Highlife collection from Frederique Constant is not a completely new timepiece. It was first introduced back in 1999. The year 2020 saw the revival of the iconic design by giving the hsitorical watch a modern twist.

About the watch:

Crafted in a 34mm brushed and polished stainless steel and rose gold-plated case, the watch houses modern curves that provides utmost comfort on the wrist. The font convex sapphire crystal and the see-through caseback offers an elegant aesthetic that is hard to find in a watch of this caliber. The silver dial is home to the engraved globe decoration and the 12 o' clock position revealing the window to the mechanical heart – a signature Frederique Constant feature. Beating at the heart of the Highlife Ladies Automatic Heart Beat is the FC-310 caliber automatic movement that clocks in a power reserve of 38 hours and offers the hours, minutes and seconds function.
