The Highlife Ladies Automatic Heart Beat line revisits the Maison’s iconic design revealing the inner workings of the movement, and brings it into the 21st century with an understated and minimalist design, as modern and unique as ever.
ICONIC HEART BEAT APERTURE
The Highlife Ladies Automatic Heart Beat models capture the legacy of the Manufacture and carry it toward new creative horizons. At 12 o’clock, the pieces proudly display the window on their mechanical heart, made famous by Frederique Constant. Known as the “Heart Beat”, it lets you see the beating heart of the watch, its mechanical movement. It also reveals some essential components of Swiss Made precision.
AUTOMATIC HEART BEAT
You can look straight into the inner workings of the automatic Heart Beat FC-310 caliber with power reserve of 38 hours and admire it from both front and back through the sapphire crystal. Hours, minutes, and seconds are the functions offered by the FC-310.
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!
DESIGN
The Highlife Ladies Automatic models have a 34 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.
A SOPHISTICATED DIAL, MEANINGFUL & UNIFYING DECORATION
All new models in the Highlife collection have a decorated dial. In the interests of unifying the collection, each one features the same globe motif. Symbolising the Earth, the harmony, the perfection of the circle, it is also the icon of a new generation that shares the same ideal for saving the planet, sustainable and sensible living. An ethic in perfect harmony with that of Frederique Constant, which has always championed quality, reliable watches that are both transferable and accessible to as many people as possible.
