The Watch

Founded in 1988 by Peter and Aletta Stas, Frédérique Constant is a pioneering Swiss watchmaking brand committed to developing in-house movements that marry traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation. Its timepieces stand out for their elegant, timeless aesthetic, spanning sport models to the most refined dress watches. Driven by a passion for horology, the brand consistently delivers highly sophisticated timepieces that reflect its expertise and dedication to the craft. Discover the Ladies' Quartz FC-240MPWD2NH22B watch from the Highlife collection, designed for women of taste. This model features a round case crafted from brushed and polished 316L stainless steel with rose ionic plating (1 micron), giving it a striking two-tone look. Solid and well-proportioned, it measures 31 mm in diameter and 7.30 mm thick. It is fitted with a robust convex sapphire crystal that shields the dial from shocks, enhanced with an anti-reflective coating for improved visibility and a scratch-resistant treatment to preserve its appearance. At 3 o'clock, a 2-O-Ring crown allows easy adjustment of all internal functions. It is silver-toned with a notched design for easy handling. This timepiece offers 5 ATM water resistance, secured by a screwed and engraved caseback, and weighs 96.40 g.

The Dial

This dial exudes timeless charm, adding an elegant dimension to the timepiece. Its mother-of-pearl base is adorned with carefully placed hour markers for easy reading. At the center, three hands plated in 5N rose gold bring a warm, eye-catching rose-toned hue. The slender seconds hand tracks the seconds, the long hand the minutes, and the short hand the hours. Together, they sweep over a minute track along the edge, framed by alternating baton indexes and 8 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 0.04 ct - a glamorous touch that also marks the hours with clarity. For added functionality, a date window sits at 3 o'clock, and the Swiss Made label appears near 6 o'clock, guaranteeing the reliability of this model. Finally, the brand name is signed beneath the 12 o'clock index.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Swiss quartz movement manufactured in-house - the FC-240 caliber, based on the Ronda 705. This mechanism ensures precise operation of the hands as well as the date function. It also resists vibrations and runs on a battery with an estimated autonomy of approximately 5 years.

The Strap

This bracelet adds a sophisticated finishing touch to your watch. Crafted from 316L stainless steel with 5N rose gold plating, it achieves a refined two-tone look. Built for durability, it features links that are both brushed and polished, creating a captivating interplay of reflections. It measures 19.50 mm in lug width and 158 mm in length, ensuring comfortable wear for any occasion. It will elevate every outfit and complement any style. It is fitted with a 15 mm push-button fold-over clasp for easy handling, and its quick-release system lets you switch up your look in seconds.

Water Resistance

With water resistance of 50 meters - or 5 ATM in watchmaking terms - this is a timepiece that can handle water, but isn't built for prolonged exposure. You can wear it in the shower from time to time, but to preserve the movement's quality and precision, our team of watch specialists strongly advises keeping it away from H₂O in the bath, pool, or ocean. In short: no swimming, no diving, and no extended contact with water.
