Frederique Constant x Bamford: The Highlife Chronograph as a Bold Statement
Frederique Constant and Bamford Watch Department have introduced a limited edition of the Highlife Chronograph Automatic, restricted to just 100 pieces. This timepiece uniquely blends Swiss precision with British avant-garde design, featuring a striking 41-mm crystallized titanium case that is both technically sophisticated and visually arresting. The watch showcases turquoise accents on a luminescent black dial, enhancing its modern aesthetic while maintaining a classic Swiss soul through the FC-391 automatic chronograph movement, which boasts a 60-hour power reserve. The Highlife Chronograph Automatic Bamford Special stands out not only for its distinctive appearance but also for its versatility, as it comes with three interchangeable straps: black rubber, turquoise rubber, and black nubuck calf leather. The quick-change system allows for easy swapping, catering to a modern lifestyle. Priced at CHF4,495 (approximately $5,600), this watch exemplifies a bold departure from tradition, as emphasized by Frederique Constant's CEO, who highlights the collaboration with Bamford as a daring step into new design territory.
