Dubai Watch Week 2025: Frederique Constant x Bamford Watch Department Launch A Radical Take on the Highlife Chronograph

Since 2009, Bamford Watch Department has been rewriting the rules of contemporary watchmaking. The creative force behind the brand, George Bamford, has built a reputation for reinterpreting horological icons through a distinctly modern and often monochromatic lens. But until now, the British designer had never turned his attention to a Frederique Constant collection. 

The result is a collaborative reinterpretation of the Highlife Chronograph Automatic that blends Bamford’s signature boldness with Frederique Constant’s Swiss precision, unveiled exclusively at Dubai Watch Week. Featuring a crystal titanium case, in-yer-face contrast and ultimate readability, this irreverent and ambitious take on the Highlife Chronograph reveals a hidden side to the piece.
