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.
