Yes, it was, at least by scrolling through the sales volumes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to rumors, the new watch collection exceeded any business expectations, and even more so considering how industry and market have been affected by the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you own a watch brand, you won\u2019t miss a luxury sports watch in your catalog; here is a shortlist of some manufacturers joining the party in the last two years or so: <strong>Chopard<\/strong>, <strong>H. Moser &amp; Cie.<\/strong>, <strong>Czapek Gen\u00e8ve<\/strong> to cite a few. Also, we can\u2019t forget how much <strong>Bulgari<\/strong> has invested with their <strong>Octo Finissimo<\/strong> lineup so far.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"frederique-constant-highlife-heart-beat-6\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/frederique-constant-highlife-heart-beat-6.bcdbb014c77b.jpg\" alt=\"frederique-constant-highlife-heart-beat-6\">The aforementioned brings me to introduce the <strong>2021 Highlife<\/strong>\u2018s design codes; <strong>Frederique Constant<\/strong>\u2018s designers sketched a seventies-inspired timepiece in steel, showcasing an edgy and men-oriented watch; the new <strong>Highlife<\/strong> is an excellent addition to the current and somehow too classic <strong>Frederique Constant<\/strong> catalog.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although the Swiss brand is the youngest ambassador of the Swiss Made industry, the <strong>Highlife 2021<\/strong> prides itself on a 20-year old forerunner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When it first appeared, the original <strong>Highlife<\/strong> introduced the <em>\u201cHeart Beat\u201d<\/em> concept, i.e., an opening onto the dial to showcase the regulating organ, but <strong>Frederique Constant<\/strong> never filed such a solution for a patent. As a result, most luxury brands borrowed both name and idea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"frederique-constant-highlife-perpetual-calendar-manufacture-1\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/frederique-constant-highlife-perpetual-calendar-manufacture-.1edc60520f54.jpg\" alt=\"frederique-constant-highlife-perpetual-calendar-manufacture-1\">If you\u2019re placing old and new on a desk, it is hard to find any similarity, the <em>\u201cHeart Beat\u201d<\/em> excluded in just a single case. With that said, the <strong>2021 Frederique Constant Highlife<\/strong> debuts an entirely different product philosophy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I would not say I liked the old one at all, while I find the new one much more attractive, and even more so while looking at the top end, which includes the stunning <strong>Frederique Constant Highlife Perpetual Calendar Manufacture<\/strong>, the talking piece of the collection.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" id=\"case-and-bracelet-design\">Case and bracelet design<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The case is <strong>41 mm<\/strong> across, crown excluded. What is different across the board is the thickness. The base offering, including the <strong>Frederique Constant High Life Heart Beat<\/strong> and the <strong>Frederique Constant Highlife Automatic COSC<\/strong>, shares the same case thickness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first-page news, from a connoisseur\u2019s perspective, is the perpetual calendar version. Stopping at <strong>12 mm<\/strong> and <strong>12<\/strong>,<strong>65 mm<\/strong>, respectively, the new <strong>Frederique Constant Highlife<\/strong> wristwatches were conceived with enhanced comfort in mind, despite the full steel perpetual calendar weighing too much, a kind of a letdown in this class of products where comfort holds the first place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"frederique-constant-highlife-perpetual-calendar-manufacture-2\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/frederique-constant-highlife-perpetual-calendar-manufacture-2.53f0175719ca.jpg\" alt=\"frederique-constant-highlife-perpetual-calendar-manufacture-2\">The <strong>H-link bracelet<\/strong> is top-notch quality and comes with a quick-release system so that you can swap it with a choice of various strap options to customize it while approaching the summer season, for instance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Please bear in mind that the new <strong>Highlife<\/strong> is water-resistant to up to 5 atmospheres and comes standard with a non-screw down crown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I hope engineers at <strong>Frederique Constant <\/strong>will soon raise product specifications that are standard in this category of products; take a look at what <strong>Bulgari<\/strong> did with their <strong>Octo Finissimo S<\/strong>, whose water resistance is now rated at 10 atm and the crown is screwed down.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"frederique-constant-highlife-perpetual-calendar-manufacture-1\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/frederique-constant-highlife-perpetual-calendar-manufacture-1.2a7cf445ecf7.jpg\" alt=\"frederique-constant-highlife-perpetual-calendar-manufacture-1\">The case design has a tonneau shape with an integrated bracelet showcasing polished and brushed links. I love the thin polished bezel extending to the case profile\u2019s edge and the extensive brushed surfaces on either top and low ends. Conversely, I do not like how intrusive are the calendar\u2019s correctors, especially when considering the terrific job done to design a case this sleek and clean.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" id=\"the-dial\">The dial<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The engraved globe pattern on the <strong>Frederique Constant Highlife<\/strong> dial is a winner since it seamlessly blends with the case and bracelet\u2019s overall design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"frederique-constant-highlife-cosc-8\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/frederique-constant-highlife-cosc-8.b308e667b1db.jpg\" alt=\"frederique-constant-highlife-cosc-8\">It also helps the time-only variants look more upscale, given the lack of any unique mechanical complication, and stands out across similar sports watches in steel. When paired with the rose gold plated case, the pattern works well, but it\u2019s less effective on a <strong>Heart Beat<\/strong> instead. The dark dials are, no doubt, the most attractive, from my standpoint.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" id=\"the-frederique-constant-highlife-perpetual-calendar-manufacture\">The Frederique Constant Highlife Perpetual Calendar Manufacture<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Perpetual Calendar<\/strong> is the highlight; its watchmaking complication is among the most admired by watch aficionados and comes with the in-house designed and manufactured <strong>FC-775 caliber<\/strong>, a <strong>4 Hertz<\/strong> mechanical movement featuring <strong>perlage<\/strong> and <strong>C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve<\/strong> decorations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It gives this timepiece lure and appeal and equips variants in steel or two-tone and is a welcome addition to the brand\u2019s offering of refined timepieces, including the <strong>Frederique Constant Classic<\/strong> <strong>Worldtimer Manufacture<\/strong> and <strong>Frederique Constant Manufacture Slimline Power Reserve,<\/strong> for example.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"frederique-constant-highlife-perpetual-calendar-manufacture-3\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/frederique-constant-highlife-perpetual-calendar-manufacture-3.01f3e8c698f3.jpg\" alt=\"frederique-constant-highlife-perpetual-calendar-manufacture-3\">The caliber guarantees <strong>38 hours of power reserve<\/strong> when fully wound. I hope the brand\u2019s engineers will soon increase the total power reserve while placing the correctors somewhere else on the case; here is how to turn a very good watch into an excellent watchmaking piece.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019m also wondering if <strong>Frederique Constant<\/strong> is undertaking a thinner edition of this caliber; they could easily extend their value proposition to thin or ultra-thin timepieces with yet again an attractive value proposition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"frederique-constant-highlife-cosc-5\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/frederique-constant-highlife-cosc-5.84287744e05c.jpg\" alt=\"frederique-constant-highlife-cosc-5\">In contrast, I find the base models less attractive; to my surprise, they both house outsourced calibers belonging to the <strong>FC-300 series<\/strong> instead of their in-house platform, which I reckon it\u2019s a step back from an expectation\u2019s perspective; the only reason I find is that they\u2019re geared towards attracting new buyers who are approaching the brand.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" id=\"the-new-frederique-constant-highlife-collection-price-and-final-thoughts\">The new Frederique Constant Highlife collection: price and final thoughts<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Frederique Constant <\/strong>nailed it with the new <strong>Highlife<\/strong>; since I first came across product images and details back in <strong>2020<\/strong>, I realized how attractive the new product range is.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Among its pros, I\u2019ll place the design on top; it is not as mainstream as elsewhere and in line with successful products like the <strong>Worldtimer Manufacture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What makes this timepiece a winner is that the designers took inspiration from existing sources of inspiration, namely belonging to the seventies and the eighties, but skilfully combined them all to make the <strong>Highlife<\/strong> quite an unseen and remarkable product. It was perceived as something utterly new, yet not disruptive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When I look at the current offering instead, I guess the brand should rapidly close the gap between the entry-level models, whose base price starts at <strong>1,690 Euros<\/strong>, and the top-of-the-range variants <strong>8,290 Euros<\/strong> with the in-house perpetual calendar. Again, my suggestion is to start with a <strong>Frederique Constant Highlife Power Reserve<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 10px; height: auto; width: auto; margin: 0 auto; position: relative; display: table;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">(Photo credit: Horbiter\u00ae)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Gaetano C @Horbiter\u00ae<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is the Frederique Constant Highlife collection what the Swiss Made accessible luxury brand was missing in its product portfolio?
