To celebrate its first birthday, the Frederique Constant Classics Manchette embraces gold and onyx in a chic, eye-catching new iteration.

FREE-SPIRITED
WATCHMAKING

The Classics Manchette is an iconic timepiece from an era that embraced being bold. It's not about complexity or exclusivity. It's about lightness. Accessory rather than essential. Rebellion rather than tradition.

 

A GLAM-ROCK
SPIN

The cuff-like bracelet features a faceted "Clou de Paris" motif . A bold timepiece that rewrites the rules of "Swiss Made" elegance with unprecedented rock'n'roll style.

 

A PROVOCATIVE
RADIANCE

The Classics Manchette now comes in a gilded version and sports a full-black onyx dial. Beautiful yet rebellious. More elegant and glamorous than ever. In a word: electrifying!

 

AN ONYX
DIAL

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.
