Frederique Constant Highlife Automatic

Since the announcement of their partnership in June 2022, Frederique Constant and French musician and producer The Avener have been working on future hits together: two limited-edition timepieces of 432 pieces each, co-designed by the Artist.

FREDERIQUE CONSTANT X THE AVENER: EXCLUSIVE LIMITED EDITION
This piece is evocative of The Avener’s nighttime sets, with a black strap, black DLC* case, black dial, luminous black coating, and a date window with a black background. Only the hands and hour markers stand out to mark the time. The sound wave pattern here is concentric, radiating out from the centre in a nod to the sunburst finish much beloved of the Geneva-based Manufacture, here symbolically repurposed by The Avener in the form of an electro finish from which only the frequency display emerges in glossy relief.

*DLC stands for Diamond-like Carbon: a chemical process is used to deposit material based on a carbon composite similar to diamond on the surface of the watch, resulting in a full matt black aspect that also protects the watch from scratches and impacts during everyday wear. As a coating, DLC is thus technical, functional – and stylish, too.
