Frédérique Constant Classics Manchette yellow gold PVD quartz onyx dial steel bracelet 25.7 x 20 mm

A jewellery watch inspired by the 1980s

With the Classics Manchette, Frédérique Constant revisits an iconic model inspired by a creation launched in the early 2000s, itself rooted in the bold style of the 1980s.

Going against the traditional codes of watchmaking, this piece offers a different vision: that of a watch designed first and foremost as a piece of jewellery. More than a timekeeping instrument, it becomes a true fashion accessory — expressive, confident and free-spirited.

The Manchette thus embodies a more liberated approach to watchmaking, where style takes precedence and boldness becomes a defining statement.

A sculptural cuff with Clous de Paris pattern

A strong signature of the model, the cuff bracelet is composed of seven rigid links forming a flexible, enveloping structure around the wrist.

Entirely decorated with the Clous de Paris pattern, it plays with light through the alternation of polished and brushed surfaces, creating a dynamic and precious visual effect.

This integrated construction transforms the watch into a true design object, where the case and bracelet become one, in an almost jewellery-like approach.

An onyx dial, deep and minimalist

At the heart of this creation lies a square dial made of genuine black onyx, a natural stone with deep and intense reflections.

Free from indexes or unnecessary complications, it focuses on the essentials with two gold-tone hands, ensuring a simple and elegant reading of time.

As each dial is naturally unique, the watch becomes a personal piece, where the mineral material brings character and individuality.

A reliable and discreet quartz movement

The Classics Manchette is powered by the FC-200 quartz calibre, known for its precision and reliability.

This technical choice prioritizes slimness and practicality, with a battery life of up to approximately 5 years without replacement.

Discreet and effortless, this movement perfectly complements the spirit of the watch: a piece designed for everyday wear, without compromising on comfort.

A statement piece between fashion and watchmaking

With its bold design, the Classics Manchette is aimed at women looking for a distinctive watch capable of expressing a strong style.

Blending retro influences, glam-rock aesthetics and contemporary execution, it is worn like a true piece of jewellery, from everyday moments to more formal occasions.

More than a watch, it is a statement of style — a piece that draws attention and expresses personality.
