A gorgeous piece. Hard to believe FC is only 35 years old. Their Slimline Monolithic Manufacture is one of my favourite innovations. They bring so much value in every watch and I'm excited to see what else they can bring to the table.
@watchadvisor I agree with the point made by @lovepotionsinc regarding the Monolithic. What I fail to understand is why there hasn’t been more coverage. As I understand it, FC have created an entirely new innovation. It’s comparable to Spring Drive in my view. Why do you think the Monolithic hasn’t drawn more attention ?
@@WatchAdvisoryes. I would rather not have the movement on display, but the Roman Numerals are about as good as you'll see anywhere. I own an "orient star elegant classic" - very similar, but the numerals are slightly narrowed compared to this.
I own 7 FC watches from a manufacturers PC to a smart watch and they are a great brand!!! I own two highlifes and those are such great work watches. This watch is just one more demonstration that they are making an effort in introducing reasonably priced quality innovative pieces 😊
I am a little confused about these newly released rose gold and stainless steel QP tourbillon Highlife watches. Didn't FC release another varient of the Highlife rose gold and stainless steel in the openworked form some years ago? I still see the QP tourbillon openworks throughout Chrono24, so would these new closed dial QP tourbillon Highlife watches be considered a "downgrade" compared to the openworked ones some years ago? The pricing of these new releases also seem much higher than what the other ones were selling for in the past. I suppose these may just be celebration piece for the new store opening, so perhaps the openworked QP tourbillon Highlife will still be the FC king
@@WatchAdvisor 🤣to be honest, i am a fan of Panerai, I start follow your channel since I saw the panerai manufacturing video, really let me to learn more about the Panerai, for now I had already become a paneristi. Now after perhaps I decide set a now goal of this brand 🤣 thanks for the video.
I wish they'd stop producing gold plated watches and quartz watches. I own the world timer high life. Crown action isn't great, only 50 meters of water resistance instead of a 100 meter, only 40 hours of power reserve. Those are the negatives for me, but it's a world timer and watch is handsome, I enjoy it. I know where they took their inspiration from and that's fine: case is a bit like Tudor Royal, the bracelet is like the Nautilus only with slightly broader polished links, it comes with a rubber and leather strap like the Vacheron Overseas etc. All good stuff.
Frederique Constant and sister brand Alpina a positioned to also provide watches in the entry price level. This is the access point for first buyers with a tiny wallet ... Why would you want to give up this?
@@WatchAdvisor brand loses credibility, what is it they are aiming for? I can buy an FC for 800 USD and 30,000 USD. Omega doesn't do this, Tudor definitely doesn't do this, even Oris doesn't do this, and those brands have earned a nice reputation of entry luxury watch and luxury watch. FC isn't entry luxury watch sometimes and it's luxury watch sometimes. Be consistent. I love what they're doing, bit there are things I believe they shouldn't be doing.
I bought a fc timegrapher digital. Total scam. Not working , no service, no tel nr. Where to call. Since then fc is blacklisted for me. Not serious company.
@Aleximd9244 Why are you complaining here? Who did you buy the watch from? Have you contacts the store if you bought it from them? The watch may still be in warranty - have you looked at that? Have you tried contacting FC via their website? Have tried trouble shooting etc. Ranting here does not help if you are unclear on the issue or tried other solutions first.
I have to admit it is a good looking watch
Not only good looking though… just think about what you get for the money…
An absolute beauty. Amazing what this brand has accomplished recently.
FC really is challenging the industry… and the brand delivers as we can all see…
What an incredible timepiece. How did I have no idea this existed???
Love your passion! Thanks for sharing!!! Please keep us posted… just in case… 😜

Nils wasn’t to precise about what’s next, but I am sure it will again be exciting!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and passion with us!

Absolutely amazing watch. I have the Highlife Chronograph and Classic line and love them. The Manufacture and Highlife line makes history👏

Thanks for sharing! These are definitely celebrating pieces....
45second ago 😂 I catch a fresh video😂

What i didn't understand is why there's not completed "F" in "Friday" on dial...
Good question! I'll find it out...
The dial/the watch was a prototype…
Thank you for replying...@@WatchAdvisor

I would purchase but its biggest flaw is that it needed to be 43mm minimum!
Everyone wants smaller watches though… 🤷🏽♂️
what? 43mm? 41mm is plenty

What exactly happened? Can you specify?
