Geneva, November 2026. Twelve references across three lines constitute Frederique Constant’s holiday proposition, with edition sizes ranging from 88 to 999 pieces and complications covering perpetual calendars, worldtimers, moonphases, and GMT. The Geneva manufacture, founded in 1988 and home to 34 in-house calibres, draws on its full depth of catalogue for the selection.
Case, Setting and Finishing
At the sport end, the Highlife x PPL Automatic pairs a matte-grained blue dial with a Cancha Blue and Copa Gold perforated rubber strap, with an interchangeable stainless steel bracelet supplied alongside. The 31mm quartz Ladies edition follows the same dual-strap logic at a smaller scale. Both carry PPL branding and are listed for us.frederiqueconstant.com from November.
The Classics Manchette occupies the opposite end of the spectrum. Its seven-link sculptural cuff carries a Clou de Paris texture across the bracelet itself, with dial options ranging from malachite and turquoise stone to natural diamond pavé and yellow gold-tone executions. It reads as jewellery first, timepiece second.
Dial and Stone Artistry
The Classics Heart Beat Moonphase Date arrives in two executions: a salmon dial with stainless steel case and a midnight blue dial with yellow gold-plated case. Both carry Clous de Paris guilloché and the brand’s signature Heart Beat aperture at 12 o’clock, exposing the oscillating balance wheel. A pointer date and moonphase display at 6 o’clock complete each version, powered by the FC-335 automatic with a 38-hour power reserve.
The Double Heart Beat returns twenty years after its debut with a redesigned double-heart aperture, diamond indexes, and dial options in opal, malachite, or aventurine glass. The aventurine edition adds a diamond-set bezel. Interchangeable steel and leather straps ship with each piece.
Movement and Material Engineering
The Highlife Moonphase Date Manufacture uses the FC-716 automatic with a 72-hour power reserve, delivered in a 39mm case with either a rosé champagne or midnight blue sunray dial. The Classic Worldtimer — in both standard and 88-piece diamond-set limited forms — runs on the same 72-hour Manufacture calibre, displaying 24 time zones via a single crown. For collectors who prize hand-wound mechanics, the Moneta Handwinding’s La Joux-Perret movement offers 63 hours of autonomy through a sapphire caseback. Across the full selection, Frederique Constant Manufacture calibres underpin the range’s upper tier.
