The Frederique Constant Highlife Automatic Skeleton
Laid bare through skilful skeletonisation, strong lines reveal the inner workings of the Swiss Made FC-310 movement inside
Open Open 29 Oct, 2021
Frederique Constant is a brand known for its focus on accessible luxury and rational watchmaking. The brand adds a new, bolder and even more modern watch to its growing collection with the new Highlife Automatic Skeleton.
The Highlife Automatic Skeleton lets you journey to the centre of the Earth. Laid bare through skilful skeletonisation, strong lines reveal the inner workings of the Swiss Made FC-310 movement inside. The Highlife Automatic Skeleton is much more than just a new reference within the Highlife collection. It’s a sign of the brand’s evolution and a witness to Frédérique Constant’s quarter-century of growth. It’s the latest chapter in the story of a small family watchmaker, which started out using ETA base movements and became a 100% integrated manufacture, a pillar of affordable Swiss Made engineering, and a powerhouse of new ideas that have been regularly admired and copied.
The new Highlife Automatic Skeleton watches are not part of the Highlife collection, but will be available as two series of 888 pieces each. The first incorporates the Highlife collection’s much-loved colour combination: steel case and strap with blue dial. The piece comes with a second interchangeable strap in navy blue rubber, accentuating its sporty look.
The second variation is a first; a steel version with anthracite grey titanium PVD coating – again supplied with a strap in the same material, as well as another in rubber of the same shade. In the 41mm case containing an automatic movement with a power reserve of 38 hours, the Frederique Constant Highlife Automatic Skeleton exhibits a beautifully crafted, mysterious and modern look, on which it is already building for the future.
Frédérique Constant continues to pursue its philosophy of offering more for less – the logical extension of its policy of making Swiss Made watchmaking as affordable as possible.
