Frederique Constant Highlife Worldtimer Manufacture

One watch, three looks, 24 time zones; the Highlife Worldtimer Manufacture is ready to explore the world of today – and tomorrow !

TWO STARS UNITED
Since its creation, Frederique Constant has capitalised on the expertise of its Geneva-based manufacture. It's here, in the birthplace of watchmaking, that the brand's Worldtimer FC-718 calibre was designed, produced and assembled. It has become a movement of its time : modern, precise and reliable, not to mention tried and tested. Being featured at the forefront of the Highlife collection is a first and represents a major turning point for the Brand.

SIMPLE, ACCURATE, INTUITIVE
The self-winding FC-718 mechanical movement has a power reserve of 38 hours. It is visible through the case back. The case is water-resistant up to 50 metres. One can admire the typical Genevan finishes that Frederique Constant is so fond of, perlage and circular Côtes de Genève among them.

DESIGN
The Highlife Gents models have a 41 mm case, available in various materials. The lack of horns allows for greater flexibility and helps the watch sit naturally on the wrist. The integrated design is infinitely more complicated to conceive than any strap with horns. The process requires perfect continuity between the lines of the case and the links, a smooth, regular but gradual transition to the clasp and natural fluidity that should be almost imperceptible.

AN INGENIOUS STRAP SYSTEM
Frederique Constant launched the first models in the Highlife collection over 20 years ago. Their unique design was characterised by the special strap built into the case. Since, the Brand has updated the ingenious concept and reinvigorated the collection, featuring the system which makes it possible to switch between a steel bracelet or rubber strap, alternating from classic to sporty on a whim !
