The World's Most Affordable Automatic Perpetual Calendar Watch: Frederique Constant Highlife

Today we revisit a brand that has achieved an impressive amount of horological marvels in a short period of time. Hailing from the heartland of Swiss watchmakers, Frederique Constant has managed to offer some of the most compelling, classy, tastefully designed, and affordable luxury timepieces, compared to their contemporaries. How have they done this? And what is the secret to their success? Today we answer these questions with a look at a new version for 2022 of their Highlife Perpetual Calendar watch (ref. FC-775BL4NH6B). In this review, I analyze this watch's design, influences, positives and negatives, and how it typifies everything this brand is capable of. I also explore Frederique Constant's short but fascinating history of innovation, and the price point of its Highlife Perpetual Calendar, as it's currently the most affordable Swiss automatic perpetual calendar you can buy new on the market today.

I love the idea of perpetual calendar watches and I want one. However, the realization that the watch will keep track of my remaining days on earth and remind me of that every time I glance at it kind of freaks me out. At 56 years old, this would start to become an issue. Or perhaps I should get one and truly embrace the Momento Mori ethos. I am torn. Thanks for the review. --Michael

[@theurbangentry]

Absolutely brilliantly profound comment Michael, I think if Marcus Aurelius was alive today and ever had a watch, it would be this! I love that you mention the Moment Mori aspect, thank you my friend. Pinned in your honor. Best regards, TGV

[@lucianofinardi7222]

Get one Michael. The pleasure of owning it will make you forget about the future and enjoy the beauty of the present time.

[@Satz50]

I agree, I have been obsessed with this recently. I love the idea of foresight a analogue clock gives and with having the month and date is even better. Forward thinking. As most of these watches are way out of my budget. I was thinking of either getting a digital watch and getting a calendar face and also maybe building some sort off app to express the idea for my phone desktop

[@Alwayslate-gv9vw]

Scary thought - Ron

[@turdferguson7686]

perhaps look at the watch think about how another person created this amazing timepiece that can transcend a normal persons life and know that while you will eventually pass on and no longer need it, the watch can keep on ticking so long as somebody else takes it up and wears it as well. perhaps your son, or a nephew or anybody you find fitting to carry on such a beautifully built piece of machinery that can carry on long past most of us will. remembering we will all die shouldnt cause us to forget that many will outlive us and carry on as if we were never even here. passing on a nice timepiece like this can let somebody remember us a little better for a while though, and i dont find that sad or gloom at all. quite the opposite. part of why i think spending so much on a watch is worth it. the opportunity to pass it on to a loved one who can then remember you every day or for special occasions or whatever the case may be.

[@watcharc9569]

I feel like "younger" brands like this are instrumental for the future of our hobby. They are 100% traditional watchmakers, however they tend to be much more daring, whilst keeping the traditional designs and characteristics we love. And Frederique Constat are definitely no exception. Great video as always.

I must say: FC was almost *entirely* off my radar until watching this. Quite well-done all around, and the way it hugs the wrist…can't say I'm that big on perp-cals (other than my Casio Edifice, but that's a whole 'nother ball of wax), but this is solidly good, especially at the asking price, which those who don't "get" mech perpetuals won't fully understand. Thanks again for spotlighting this, and hats off to FC for recognizing your astute take on horological matters.

[@raven_of_zoso455]

I've kept an eye on FC for a while now, and despite they are rarely mentioned, I do find it odd because they really have a lot of proper qualities you won't find by many others in the same price range. And ever since I discovered them, I kinda looked at them as the Patek alternative for us mortals. And on paper you get pretty much the same, with a long, respective history as well. Worst thing is, I've heard people calling the Highlife series an overpriced Nautilus homage, and frankly I find such statements as just pure snobbery, and to call this an homage there is a lot of other quality Swiss brands to throw under that same bus, none of which deserves it. FC is definitely on my list over watches I want to own, and the worldtimer is the one which had me drooling the most since it's release. The perpetual calendar is also nice, but I feel they need to just tweak and refine it just a tad before I would consider one. However, put next to a Royal Oak PC this is practically a steal, regardless of the superior refinement and artisan craftmanship that goes through and through on the Royal Oak. And the fact that FC seem to be very open to expose themselves among reviewers like yourself shows they got nothing to hide in regards to quality and finishing. Is it worth the bucks? In my opinion it absolutely is. Thanks for another good video, TGV! Good health to you and Hugo.

[@theurbangentry]

🤣🤣🤣 This honestly feels nothing like a Nautilus, it's far more classy! Haha, thank you for sharing that. I completely agree, nothing but snobbery. So true about it's value next to a AP. Excellent comment. Best regards, TGV

[@duckmcf]

I love it. Sure the various micro buttons and pin & collar links aren’t great, but I love a watch that has no seconds hand. Back when Panerai was a thing, their two hand watches freed my mind from the trivialities of accuracy. It really is liberating once you get used to it.

[@wristray8775]

I have a FC chrono, got it pretty cheap. No complaints. Its good that they allowed Citizen holdings to take over. Now we see some very advanced watches at acceptable prices.

[@dainluke]

I absolutely love this brand. I recently picked up a Yacht Timer Regatta from a really nice dude in my local area who hadn't used it because of his new GS. Honestly the nicest unboxing experience ever and they provide so much quality. Their booklet alone makes you feel like they value you as an owner.

Nice-looking watch and a great review. Very fair and honest. Personally, I would not buy a perp calendar watch--because I have a sneaking suspicion that it would be in the "shop" getting serviced very frequently. Unfortunately, there's no J.D. Power or Consumer Reports for watches, providing real-world data on reliability.

[@christeder]

Enjoyable! All these pieces in harmony. I looked Tissot and Certina moonphase until I stumbled upon another family member of the highlife series called Heart Beat (FC-310N4NH6B). + Looked other Frederique's and been looking before. There was a decent discount as well, but I didn't want to rush. It's great to see it in person before ordering online. But it looks stunning and elegant. The only downside with these Highlife watches is that they glow in the dark. I'm not a big fan of that, but I believe I can get used to it. The Highlife is youthful, but the FC-710MC4H4 seems like a timeless piece, love the Roman numerals.

[@dnbrg74]

Hi TGV. I get it now. I understand moon phase. You had me at the intro with the visual and the music. I looked up that part by Ian Post as well. I never really thought I wanted or needed moon phase, but I was being too practical, and also dismissive of it being merely a disc with stars and a moon printed on it. It has a usefulness, sure, but I think it is far overshadowed by the romanticism. That is what I get out of it. I’m keen to get one in my hands now and have an up close look and feel. And in terms of FC as a brand, I kind of dismissed it being part of Citizen group. Not being snobby, Seiko and Citizen are my jam, but I wrongfully assumed FC being relatively young, weren’t the real deal. I learned a lot about the brand in this video, and I humbly admit I may have been wrong - worthy of consideration. Gratefully more open minded on two fronts here. Thanks & kind regards, Dean.

[@AdrianCiubotariu]

Thanks for making me aware of the escapement - always looked at FC as "another swiss brand with good watches". I also like the Breguet inspired dials - keep with the tradition of the one who updated the escarpment all those years ago

[@heikowallauer]

Good morning TGV, Once again a very beautifully curated video about a very beautiful watch. Many greetings!

[@DinoBurke]

I almost purchased this watch a few months ago. The only reason I decided to go with the Tudor Royal is because of the poor water resistance. I also looked at I think the High Life and again disappointed due to the 50m of water resistance. Darn beautiful watch though.

[@jeremycorrao]

Not typically my style of watch but the dial is beautiful. Like you said, a nice slender seconds hands would have been nice. Cheers!

[@oOoScarecrow31oOo]

Great timing as I'm really considering putting on my list the FC Worldtimer Highlife... me too ! I had some concerns about the 41 mm diameter for my small wrist but it seems to be OK. That blue colour might not be the perfect match for Marc 😅 but I like it: nice blue and under the radar. 👌 This case design with integrated bracelet is nice and clean and with the additional strap it's not a problem at all. Maybe with their more classic designs they should go smaller. I've also heard that there were some concerns about customer service. 😬 Bottom line this Highlife collection looks like a good value for money... and this Worldtimer is playing footsie with me. 😎

[@oOoScarecrow31oOo]

Definitely keeping an eye on the brand with their new in-house tech releases. 👍

[@duncanhamilton5841]

I've owned the 3 hand Highlife COSC for a couple of years now. At £1200-something I too was also disappointed with the bracelet pin/collar. The lack of half links is also a gripe, as I'm right between links at the moment. Consequently it is mostly on the rubber strap at the moment, which fortunately is really nice and suits the watch. On the rubber it can be worn with just about anything north of your jimmy-jams. Only other thing of note is the case and bracelet centres are real scratch magnets. It's a keeper, and has a permanent place in the watch box - right up until (if) they put the 40hz monolithic movement in a production Highlife, and then I'd trade up. They apparently did a one-off for a charity auction, so it can be done.

[@larrylabarbera9561]

I bought one F.C. for my son, it looked nice for awhile, but the black finish started to wear off, and that was the beginning of the end. It started coming off at an alarming rate until it was unwearable. It now resides in his junk pile of watches. I also have a question, didn't they used to give these as prizes on game shows. Maybe I'm thinking of Lucian Piccard?

[@MisterKnightly]

The concept is ingenious & they are very brave to offer a perpetual calendar in this price range, my concern with so many offerings is mechanical accuracy limitations. Even a movement running close to flat (+\- 1sec) is still 5 or 6 minutes off by a years end. I’m not going to wear a watch that’s 6 minutes off, which means I have to re-set the time which means The perpetual calendar is unfortunately, kind of pointless-
