Mineral and invigorating. Bright and elegant. Unmistakably sensual. Turquoise is the essential shade of the season. It gleams against sun‑kissed skin, evoking clear lagoons and faraway horizons. Worn close to the body, it suits a sarong, bikini, airy dress or crop top. Yet turquoise is also the gemstone that inspired the colour itself. Since antiquity, it has been associated with protective virtues, fostering uplifting energy and inner harmony.

Frederique Constant has placed it at the heart of their daring Manchette line. First introduced in 2012 with a nine‑link bracelet, this distinctive creation is making a striking return to the watchmaking world in 2025. A refreshed style, a renewed spirit: the Manchette now features seven articulated, gilded links embellished with Geneva’s iconic Clou de Paris motif. A summer statement piece that channels glam‑rock flair, chic attitude and bold impact like never before. At the centre lies a genuine turquoise fragment. The stone glows with countless tones. Carved from natural rock, each Turquoise Manchette dial is inherently unique, ensuring no two watches ever look the same. A dance of shades and reflections: coherent, yet never identical. Its intricate ocean‑like brilliance blends endless blues, carried by a supple bracelet designed to rest directly on the skin. The season’s essential accessory, the ultimate wrist adornment – is it a watch, or a bracelet? Whatever the answer, with its fearless and magnetic personality, the Manchette commands attention.
