Frederique Constant’s CEO shares how our Time+Tide Highlife Onyx Moon Limited Edition came together
Time+TideAs of writing this, our Frederique Constant x Time+Tide Highlife Manufacture Moonphase Date ‘Onyx Moon’ is now available for purchase – so you’d better act fast if you want one! Still on the fence? Well, in our latest video, Andrew and Frederique Constant CEO Niels Eggerding tell the story of how the limited-edition collaboration came together.
Together, they trace the origins of this partnership from a chance meeting three years prior to the launch of the watch, emphasising the shared vision and mutual push for innovation – leading to many premieres and first-ever elements in a Highlife watch.
These include the first Highlife with an onyx dial, the first Highlife dial with no hour indices, and the first Highlife driven by the brand’s manufacture moonphase movement (the in-house calibre FC-716, which boasts a 72-hour power reserve within a compact 39mm case – another first-ever for the Highlife). The watch also features a distinctive Jubilee-style five-link bracelet, yet another first for the Highlife line.
