Celestial Elegance
Frederique Constant and Time & Tide are proud to unveil a limited-edition collaboration, the Highlife Moonphase Date Manufacture – Onyx Moon. This piece embodies the shared values of creativity, accessibility, and entrepreneurial spirit. Limited to just 100 pieces for the world, the Onyx Moon is a reinvention of the celebrated Highlife collection. It marks several “firsts” for the collection, notably the integration of a Manufacture moon phase, a five-link integrated bracelet, and the complete absence of indices on the dial. It is a true miniature nocturnal theatre, rich in detail, capturing the theatricality of a starry night.

Onyx Dial, Midnight Sky
At the heart of this watch unfolds a dial made of natural black onyx. Polished, it offers a perfectly smooth surface, a deep and uniform black that absorbs all light, evoking the image of a midnight sky. Above this cosmic canvas, the silver-coloured moon disc, depicted with its craters, shines with striking realism. Small touches of red highlight the 31st day of the month and the word “GENEVE” below the brand name, lending a flamboyant character to the composition. This onyx dial confers a particular serenity to the piece.

Limited Edition Signature
The case of this limited edition is made of polished stainless steel, composed of three parts. It has a diameter of 39 mm and a height of 12.79 mm. The dial is protected by an anti-reflective convex sapphire crystal. The watch is water-resistant up to 10 ATM. It is fitted with a folding buckle with push-buttons. The “1 OUT OF 100” engraving on the case back underscores the exclusive nature of this edition.

Precision and Ingenuity
The Highlife Moonphase Date Manufacture – Onyx Moon is powered by the FC-716 automatic self-winding Manufacture Movement. Entirely developed and assembled in-house, this in-house calibre boasts an impressive 72-hour power reserve. The movement is decorated with Perlage and Côtes de Genève finishes. The decentralised date display by hand and the moon phase perfectly balance the composition at 6 o’clock. Furthermore, all functions are adjustable via the single crown. The artisanal care taken in decorating the calibre is visible through an engraved and see-through sapphire crystal case back.

This choice offers three distinct personalities to the watch – elegant, sporty, or contemporary – lending the timepiece a refined and tactile dimension.
