The Watch

Born in Switzerland, Frédérique Constant is a watchmaking maison founded in 1988 by Peter and Aletta Stas. It brings together artisanal expertise and technical innovation to create high-quality watches with distinctive designs. A pioneer in the development of in-house movements, the brand embodies mastery and passion for watchmaking. Every model is the result of a meticulous process, reflecting the harmony between horological tradition and modernity. From sporty to sophisticated, each timepiece is elegant, robust, and well-equipped - a perfect balance. They are the embodiment of refinement and watchmaking artistry, including the Ladies Quartz FC-240LND2NH26B Watch from the Highlife collection, designed to grace women's wrists with elegance every day. It features a round case with a 31 mm diameter and 7.30 mm thickness, crafted in 316L stainless steel. Carefully brushed and polished for a flawless, elegant appearance that complements any style. A 2-O-ring crown at 3 o'clock handles the various function adjustments. Silver-toned, it features a knurled finish for easy manipulation. A convex sapphire crystal protects the dial from everyday knocks. Its anti-reflective coating guarantees uncompromising legibility, while its scratch-resistant treatment preserves its pristine aesthetic. This model weighs 96.40 g and features an engraved, screw-down case back ensuring 5 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

This model showcases the art of watchmaking at its finest through its captivating blue dial. Enhanced with a sunray finish, its perimeter features baton indices alongside 8 diamond indices sparkling at 0.04 ct. These gemstones create a mesmerizing play of light, marking the hours with undeniable elegance. A finely drawn minute track accompanies them, all swept by three gray hands anchored at the center. The slim seconds hand counts the seconds, the long hand the minutes, and the short hand the hours. The latter two feature a SuperLuminova C1 treatment, also applied to the indices, ensuring optimal visibility even in the dark. A date window at 3 o'clock adds a practical touch, while the Swiss Made label at 6 o'clock speaks to the watch's reliability. The brand's name is signed just below the double index at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This watch is powered by an in-house quartz movement - specifically the FC-240 caliber based on the Ronda 705 - which drives the precise display of the hands and the date function. This Swiss mechanism is engineered to resist vibrations and is powered by a battery with an autonomy of approximately 5 years.

The Strap

With its timeless design, this silver bracelet will elevate your style. Crafted in 316L stainless steel with brushed and polished links, it adds a touch of brilliance for any occasion. Every catch of the light brings an extra spark to your look, whether you're at a meeting or out for a casual evening. It is interchangeable and features a lug width of 19.50 mm and a length of 158 mm for comfortable everyday wear. Its 15 mm deployment clasp with push-buttons makes it effortless to put on and take off.

Water Resistance

At 50 meters water resistance - or 5 ATM in watchmaking terms - this timepiece handles everyday splashes with ease but isn't built for prolonged water exposure. Feel free to shower with it on occasion, but to preserve the precision and longevity of the movement, our watch specialists strongly advise keeping it away from baths, pools, and the sea. In short: no swimming, no diving, and no extended contact with water.
