Highlife Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Manufacture 'The Elements Collection'

Frederique Constant Highlife Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Manufacture 'The Elements Collection' FC-975BRG4NH6B

This watch is part of the Elements collection.

To mark its 37th anniversary in 2025, Frederique Constant Manufacture is unveiling a collector's box set of just 37 pieces for the first time. This set consists exclusively of Manufacture pieces in strictly limited editions and embodies the essence of our watchmaking expertise.

Attention, collectors! The Highlife Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Manufacture is the onlypiece in The Elements set that doesn’t belong to the Classic collection; the only non-mineraldial; the only watch to offer two of the biggest complications in Haute Horlogeriesimultaneously, the tourbillon and perpetual calendar; the only design with a steel braceletand two additional interchangeable options (in leather and rubber).

Modern, streamlined and vibrant, the Highlife model has been the star of the Manufacture’scollections since its return. Its high-octane design reflects a young and streetwisewatchmaking, without compromising on technical excellence or finish. With a steel 41-millimetre case and a sapphire caseback, it strikes a balance between the perpetual calendarand tourbillon – both the manufacture’s own. These traditional complications are given thecontemporary treatment. The openwork dial magnifies its technical nature and reveals theminerality of its self-winding FC-975 calibre, a jewel in the manufacture’s crown.

The central hour and minute markers are polished by hand and finished with a luminescentmaterial; the seconds marker sits on the tourbillon bridge. Tucked inside the movement itself,the perpetual calendar features typically Genevan techniques: a satin finish, perlage, bluedscrews and black polishing. Each tourbillon, from the 37 offered only as part of The Elementsset, will be individually numbered.
