MANCHETTE

CLASSICS ELEGANCE MANCHETTE:

A fresh spark to a dazzling glam-rock piece 

Originally launched in 2002, the Manchette is now back with a sexy, glam-rock take on what must surely count as a definitive cuff watch: a graceful bracelet embossed with a square Clou de Paris pattern that’s echoed on the dial (also square), available in four different versions to suit your every whim: one jewel-set piece, two mineral alternatives in malachite and onyx, and a fourth version in matte steel.

ELEGANT & SOPHISTICATED

And now, the Manchette returns to the collection under the name Classics Manchette. It’s perhaps best seen as a bracelet (with seven flexible, flowing links) that just happens to show the time. Securely fastened around the wrist to make sure it can withstand all the antics of the dance floor; it features an integrated (and therefore invisible) deployment clasp. 

80's Rebellion

The Manchette reprises one of the defining accessories of the Eighties. The cuff watch epitomized an era of ‘anything goes’, embodying a carefree, untrammeled watchmaking style. Here, a light-hearted, cheeky style is in. It isn’t about tradition; it’s about rebellion. It’s a distinctive zeitgeist, lifestyle and fashion sense that Frederique Constant revived with brio in the early 2000s.  

ONE PATTERN, FOUR DIALS

Style takes precedence: a ‘Clou de Paris’ pattern clads the entire piece in a myriad of sparkling, polished squares, with a brushed finish at the top of each link. At the center nestles a discreet dial with just two hands gliding over it to denote hours and minutes. Each timepiece is powered by the same quartz FC-200 caliber boasting a battery life of 60 months – five full years of glam-rock splendor on the wrist. Time to be bold.
