To celebrate its first anniversary, Frederique Constant reimagines its boldest creation yet: the Classics Manchette, now unveiled in a radiant gold-toned iteration accented by a striking full-black onyx dial.
A watch that thrives on contrast, this latest expression pairs luminous gold with the raw, mineral depth of onyx, creating a look that is at once glamorous and defiant. The result is a timepiece that feels unapologetically chic, imbued with a glam-rock edge that refuses to fade quietly into the background. Elegant yet rebellious, refined yet provocative—this is the Classics Manchette at its most electrifying.
Rooted in the spirit of an era that celebrated freedom and individuality, the Classics Manchette spans generations with ease. It is not driven by complexity or convention, but by attitude. This is watchmaking as self-expression: light, daring, and worn as an accessory rather than a necessity. Less about tradition, more about rebellion.
True to its name, the Manchette embraces the wrist like a sculptural cuff. Its faceted bracelet, adorned throughout with the signature Clou de Paris motif, mirrors the square geometry of the dial for a strikingly cohesive silhouette. The design is sensual, architectural, and unmistakably bold, balancing Swiss-made elegance with a distinctly rock ’n’ roll sensibility.
The new gold-coloured case amplifies the watch’s provocative appeal, while the black onyx dial introduces a dramatic play of light and shadow. Its natural minerality offers vivid contrast, enhancing legibility while adding depth and texture to the monochrome design. Every glance reveals a different mood, a different shimmer.
With this latest release, Frederique Constant signals the beginning of a collection destined to spark conversation. A statement piece that feels both contemporary and timeless, the Classics Manchette in gold and onyx is already one to watch.
