Frederique Constant, a Swiss brand known for its affordable luxury watches with manufacture movements, expands its offerings in several collections with new dial colors. In its Classic Worldtimer Manufacture series, the brand unveils a new color dimension: forest green. Additionally, in its Classic Slimline Ladies, it adds a burst of pastels with two new dials, and brights in its Highlife Ladies Automatic series.
Frederique Constant Classic Worldtimer Manufacture
Joining the existing trio of daytime white, nighttime black, and ocean blue, this new addition to the Classic Worldtimer Manufacture series captures the natural beauty of Earth’s forests and mountains. Available in two limited editions—718 pieces in stainless steel and 36 in 18-karat rose gold—this release elevates the iconic worldtimer with a rich, harmonious hue.
The 42mm case houses a stunning sunburst dial featuring a world map. The continents, depicted in high-relief polished detail, contrast beautifully with the green oceans, creating an eye-catching landscape. The green dial subtly shifts in tone depending on the light, enhancing the intricacy of the design.
Crafted with both form and function in mind, the watch includes a 24-hour disc displaying 24 global cities, paired with a lighter and darker green for daytime and nighttime hours. This intuitive design eliminates the need for a separate day-night indicator. The date window at 6 o’clock is surrounded by elegant guilloché work and a matte ring for clarity.
Powered by the in-house Manufacture caliber, the Classic Worldtimer allows users to easily adjust the time and worldtimer function through the crown. This user-friendly mechanism is visible through the sapphire caseback, revealing traditional Swiss finishing techniques like Côtes de Genève patterns. The watch retails for $4,695 in stainless steel and $18,995 in 18-karat rose gold.
Frederique Constant Highlife and Slimline
In addition to the forest green dial introduced to the Classic Worldtimer, the brand is releasing bold new colors for its Highlife Ladies Automatic and Classics Slimline Ladies lines.
The Highlife Ladies Automatic presents two vibrant dials: lavender and tangerine. These timepieces, with their 34mm stainless steel cases, feature the Highlife collection’s signature globe motif and come with an additional white rubber strap for versatility. The hands and hour markers are coated with luminescent material for easy readability, while the dual colorways offer a fresh, contemporary look designed to suit an active lifestyle.These boldly beautiful renditions with stainless steel bracelet retail for $2,095.
In the Classics Slimline Ladies, Frederique Constant emphasizes timeless elegance with two new stainless steel models. The 30mm watches feature opaline dials in mink or pink, adorned with 10 diamond indexes and a Roman numeral at 12 o’clock. The bezel, set with 68 diamonds, adds to the allure, while a flexible steel bracelet provides a comfortable and refined fit. These pieces celebrate understated femininity and the enduring appeal of classic Swiss watchmaking. They retail for $2,995.
