Frederique Constant and Time+Tide are proud to present the Highlife Moonphase Date Manufacture – Onyx Moon, a limited-edition collaboration that brings a series of firsts to the brand’s celebrated Highlife collection.

Limited to just 100 pieces worldwide, the Onyx Moon embodies the two brands’ shared values of creativity, accessibility and entrepreneurship in the contemporary world of Swiss watchmaking.

This striking new model is the first Highlife to feature a Frederique Constant Manufacture Moonphase, the first to come with an integrated five-link bracelet, and the first Frederique Constant watch ever to have a dial without hour markers.

At the centre of the piece sits a natural onyx stone dial, polished to create a seemingly infinite surface – a deep, liquid black that absorbs light like the midnight sky. Suspended in darkness against this cosmic backdrop, the silvery disc of the moon – complete with craters – glows with hyperrealist texture and detail.

Like so many sparks across the void, subtle flashes of red mark out the 31st day of the month and the ‘GENEVE’ lettering beneath the brandmark, setting the composition aflame. The whole forms a dial that’s both poetic and precise – and a timepiece that captures the quiet theatre of the night sky.

As founder of Time+Tide Andrew McUtchen puts it: “The result is a watch that’s both minimalist and mesmerising. The onyx dial gives it a certain stillness, while the moon provides a sense of presence unlike anything else in the Highlife line. It’s a miniature piece of nighttime theatre for the wrist; a micro-drama of details – everything we all love about mechanical watchmaking in fact. What’s more, on a purely sensual level, it’s quite simply sexy. Black onyx, flashes of red, cool steel – it’s a piece that really stirs the emotions.”

Niels Eggerding, CEO of Frederique Constant, adds: “This collab reflects our shared passion for making fine watchmaking accessible without compromise. The Onyx Moon showcases the beauty of our Manufacture Moonphase calibre in its purest form. It’s been a pleasure to work with Time+Tide to create such a distinctive piece for collectors.”

Presented in a 39-millimetre stainless steel case that’s water resistant to 10ATM, the Highlife Moonphase Date Manufacture – Onyx Moon features the collection’s signature integrated design, reimagined for the first time to include a five-link bracelet that adds a refined, tactile dimension. The quick-release system enables the wearer to switch effortlessly between the bracelet, a black rubber strap and the calf leather strap with nubuck finishing (both also included), thus offering three personalities – elegant, sporty and everyday – in one watch.

In another first, the FC-716 Manufacture automatic movement has been chosen as the beating heart of this Highlife watch. Developed and assembled entirely in-house, it boasts an improved and truly impressive 72-hour power reserve thanks to a new mainspring alloy and a redesigned barrel. The date and moonphase displays offset each other perfectly at six o’clock, while the pad-printed moon features a realistic surface. Amazingly enough, all the functions are adjusted via the crown. Visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, the Côtes de Genève and perlage finishings reveal the meticulous craftsmanship of Frederique Constant’s Geneva atelier.
