Presenting Frederique Constant’s skeleton Highlife

Limited editions with complimentary extra straps. Introducing Frederique Constant’s Highlife Automatic Skeleton Limited Edition The Highlife goes bare, with the Automatic Skeleton, available in steel and blue, and in a dark, monochromatic avatar as well—limited to 888 pieces each For over 30 years, Frederique Constant have been building timepieces that are classical and traditional while remaining timeless. Equipped with outstanding technical aspects, each timekeeper is the culmination of the brand’s rigorous research and development, passion for exquisite designs and obsession with flawless accuracy. However, what separates them from countless other luxury watchmakers is their philosophy of catering to not just an elite circle of connoisseurs but rather a larger section of watch enthusiasts who’d like to enjoy high-quality mechanical timepieces that are also quite accessible. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that Frederique Constant have become one of the foremost Swiss brands in ‘accessible luxury’, and have garnered an ardent following of admirers in a short span of time. Part of their fairly extensive portfolio of watches is the Highlife collection, which was first launched in 1999 and reintroduced last year. Characterised by its integrated strap or bracelet and a distinctive case design, the series consists of a wide range of models, including automatic chronometers, perpetual calendars and a world timer as well. Among this year’s additions to the collection is the Highlife Automatic Skeleton Limited Edition that offers an intricately designed and charismatic dial that lends you a glimpse of the movement beating inside. The sleek, streamlined case of the archetypal steel sport watch The Highlife Skeleton is available in plain steel—brushed and polished—or in steel or with a titanium PVD coating. The case design is the same as in earlier highlife models. This one too is set in a smooth and edgy barrel-shaped case, which features a narrow, polished bezel, and an unguarded pillbox crown. Thanks to its 41mm size, ergonomic design, and delicate contouring work along the case sides, the timepiece makes for comfortable wear and is an ideal companion for everyday use. Enhancing the wearable aspect of the watch is its integrated stainless steel bracelet, featuring ‘H-shaped’ links. MRP: ₹1,95,000 (steel and blue); ₹2,03,500 (steel with PVD) For more information, please call our Luxury Watch Helpline on [+91 8725028899](tel:08725028899), [+91 8725028883](tel:08725028883) [Click here to connect with us on WhatsApp]( The easy-change system of the interchangeable straps, with a complimentary extra option The bracelet comes along with an easy-change system, which allows the wearer to swap it with a rubber strap. The plain steel version is presented with a matching bracelet and a flexible and durable blue rubber strap, while the dark, monochromatic variant is offered with a PVD-coated bracelet and a rubber strap in grey, making it look stealthy and ultra-modern. In a market full to the brim with sporty watches with integrated bracelets, Frederique Constant have successfully created a timekeeper that offers great quality and feel that also doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket. Each attribute of the watch exhibits their skilful craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail and nothing seems like an afterthought. A skeletonised dial that reveals the beating heart of the Highlife Undoubtedly, the show-stealer of the new Highlife Automatic Skeleton is its dial that is finely crafted, perfectly legible, and nothing short of a visual treat for the eyes. Featuring a mesh with the familiar globe pattern seen across the Highlife collection, the display of the watch reveals several elements of the movement, including the mainspring barrel between five and six, the balance wheel at 12, and the winding mechanism at the three o’clock position. The fine finishing across the various elements of the display The dial is bereft of any complications and comes with a central, three-hand timekeeping system with polished hour and minute hands that also feature luminous inlays. Not only this, it also consists of a sun-brushed inner ring with a white, printed seconds track, in addition to the faceted, polished applied indexes filled with Super-LumiNova. The notable differences between the steel and grey versions are that the closed part of the dial in the former is in dark blue, with its hour indices and hands coated in a silver hue. On the other hand, the PVD model offers a dark grey ring, along with black indices and timekeeping hands.

Apart from being partially visible through the skeletonised dial, the movement can also be admired through the exhibition caseback, and it features a wonderful golden rotor and black-coated bridges. The FC-310 includes 26 jewels, runs at a frequency of 28,8000vph and offers a power reserve of 38 hours when fully wound. Although the movement doesn’t flaunt extravagant decorations or heavy mechanisms, it provides top-notch performance, great accuracy and is a perfect option for everyday use.
