To mark its first birthday, the Classics Manchette now comes in a gold-coloured version. The glam-rock icon by Frederique Constant sports a full-black onyx dial, a precious feature that lends the watch exquisitely stark contrast. Beautiful yet rebellious. More elegant and glamorous than ever thanks to its gold colour, and with a radical touch provided by its mineral dial. In a word: electrifying!

An iconic watch from an era that allowed itself to be daring, it embodies a watchmaking style that is uninhibited and free. We’re not talking about complication or exclusivity here.

On the contrary, we’re talking about lightness and impertinence. Not about essentials, but about accessories. Not tradition, but rebellion. It’s a zeitgeist and a vision of life and fashion that Frederique Constant revived with a flourish in the early 2000s.

The Manchette is now back in the collection under the name Classics Manchette. Above all, it is a bracelet that tells the time. Supple and loose, it is made up of seven links. Firmly fastened to the wrist to withstand the tumult of the dance floor, it has an integrated, invisible folding clasp.

The Classics Manchette spans generations with rebellious spirit. An iconic timepiece from an era that embraced being bold, it embodies uninhibited, free-spirited watchmaking. It's not about complexity or exclusivity. It's about lightness. Accessory rather than essential. Rebellion rather than tradition. The Classics Manchette from the Geneva-based manufacturer offers a sexy, glam-rock spin on the "wristwatch", in its most literal sense.

A cuff-like strap with the faceted "Clou de Paris" motif repeated throughout, whose square shape matches that of the dial. A bold timepiece that rewrites the rules and balances "Swiss Made" elegance with unprecedented rock'n'roll style.

The new watch unveiled today is designed to bring a touch of provocative radiance to the collection. Against the new gold colour, the full-black onyx dial offers vivid, piercing contrast with its raw minerality. The striking interplay of light and shadow makes it easier to read the hour and minute hands on the monochrome dial.

The character of this watch lies in its spectacular seven-link bracelet, adorned with the iconic Clous de Paris motif. Crafted from stainless steel with a luxurious polished yellow gold PVD coating, this brushed and polished bracelet captures the light for an irresistible sun-like glow. With its ultra-slim case, it fits the wrist like a second skin, offering exceptional comfort without sacrificing presence.

At the centre of this timepiece is a dial of rare elegance, crafted from genuine black onyx stone. This deep, intense black mineral creates a striking contrast with the yellow gold hands, offering perfect readability under anti-reflective sapphire crystal. Each dial is unique, making your watch a personal collector’s item.

Beyond its bold aesthetic and the variety of its dials, each variation of the Classics Manchette shares a reliable, high-performance beating heart: the FC-200 quartz calibre.

This technical choice ensures constant horological precision and a remarkable battery life of 60 months, i.e. five full years during which the watch will accompany its wearer without requiring a battery change. This longevity, far from being a mere detail, is in keeping with Frederique Constant’s philosophy of offering elegant, practical timepieces for everyday wear. 

 The starting point of a collection on everyone's lips. That's a promise!
