The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2023 - Issue 34

bitewatches a sunburst grey dial enhanced by a central guilloché disc surrounded by di- amonds, also in a rose gold case. The third is more assertive with a yellow gold-plated case, an all-grey dial sporting a grey guilloché finish in the centre and sunburst around the edges, with a matching steel strap with a satin finish and deployment clasp. Other celebratory timepieces include the Highlife Automatic collection of COSC, Heart Beat, Skeleton, Chronograph, Worldtimer and Perpetual Calen- dar designed for everyday use. This collection is based on fundamentals ac- quired from Frédérique Constant’s lengthy experience with a new case design, interchangeable straps and a delicate globe decoration on the dial. The black, blue or silver dial with a matte or sunray globe pattern embossed in the centre is enclosed in a 41 mm stainless steel or rose gold case. The Automatic Skeleton in a titanium case features a grey dial and a sunray finish. The other dials have applied indexes and the hours, minutes, seconds and date at 3 o’clock or Heart Beat at 12 o’clock. An FC-303 calibre powers the COSC, FC-310 in the Heart Beat and Skeleton, FC-391 in the Chronograph, FC-718 in the Worldtimer and FC-775 in the Perpetual Calendar, all worn with brown calf leather with crocodile pattern and pin buckle or stainless steel and folding buckle with push buttons. The Highlife Ladies Automatic perfectly balances classic, sporty and modern. It has similar features to the Highlife Automatic collection except for the addi- tional green, pink and white dial options and lacquered/glittered with applied indexes at 6/9/12 o’clock and eight diamonds at 1/2/4/5/7/8/10/11 o’clock. En- closed in a 34 mm stainless steel, yellow or rose gold case, the Highlife is pow- ered by an FC-303 or FC-310 automatic movement. Ladies Automatic Small Seconds has a silver or blue dial, mother-of-pearl and guilloché or embossed finishing, and printed Roman numerals. These classic, elegant, sophisticated watches in a delicate 36 mm stainless steel case feature an off-centre small seconds hand at 9 o'clock and a date counter at 6 o’clock. The automatic FC-318 movement with 31 jewels and a power reserve of 38 hours fuel these timepieces. Frédérique Constant watches are available at stores in Asia, Australia, Canada, Sierra Leone, South America, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, the Unit- ed Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States. https://frederiqueconstant.com Images courtesy of Profile Public Relations
