HIGHLIFE
EDITION CARON
Discover the Frederique Constant Highlife ‘Edition Caron’. The Highlife, with its comfortable strap that seems to flow from the case, is one of the most successful collections of the Dutch-Swiss watch house Frederique Constant.
In the Edition Caron, top chef Alain Caron has put his own spin on the Highlife. For example, the cream-coloured dial contains a relief whirlwind after a drawing by Alain. The shape symbolizes the peak hustle and bustle that prevails in a top-level kitchen. In the middle of it, the resting point, is the chef. Also very special are the hour indexes from 6 to 11 o’clock, which are executed in pistachio green. These are the hours when Caron pampers his guests: the highlight of the day! On the matted glass back, creative jack-of-all-trades Caron wished to have a drawing he once made: the kiss.

ALAIN CARON
Creative, Chaotic and Culinary. Voilà, Alain Caron’s 3 C’s. The ‘Dutch Frenchman’, a well-known chef and jury member in dozens of Dutch TV programmes, including MasterChef, BinnensteBuiten and De Keuringsdienst van Waarde, is not only a restaurateur with four restaurants and author of numerous cookbooks, he also has a Michelin Bib Gourmand to his name.
In close collaboration with Adriaan Reijersen of Reijersen Juweliers in Oudewater, and Frederique Constant, Alain and his sons David and Tom created an eye-catching watch, with ‘a French touch’. The Frederique Constant Highlife Edition Caron is available in a 34mm and a 39mm version and represents Caron’s love for both French cuisine and his Dutch ‘homeland’.
FREDERIQUE
CONSTANT
FREDERIQUE CONSTANT
The Swiss-based watch brand Frederique Constant was founded in 1988 by the Dutch couple Peter and Aletta Stas. Their desire was to make luxurious, Swiss quality watches that were accessible to everyone. That this was a successful vision is shown by the Manufacture designation that has been on the facade of the ultra-modern production facility in Plan-les-Ouates, a suburb of Geneva, since 2019. In a Manufacture, everything from the initial sketch and development to final assembly, finishing and quality control is done in-house. The high level of work has already resulted in 31 in-house calibers. The Highlife collection has been Frederique Constant’s most emblematic collection since 1999.

REIJERSEN JUWELIERS
Who says Reijersen Juweliers, says hospitality. Moreover, few jewelers in the world can boast such an impressive creative history as this jeweler, which is located in Oudewater. Special limited editions, special events, valuable collaborations, director Adriaan Reijersen and his team are up for anything. A so-called gourmet jeweler, both in terms of unique jewelry and watch collections, as well as in the field of culinary treats and hospitality. The self-coined term ‘jeweler-gastronomer’ fits Reijersen Juweliers as a glove. Adriaan Reijersen: ‘Jewelry and watches that are made with attention and dedication have many similarities with gastronomy. Both are about craftsmanship and passion, innovation and tradition. But also about luxury, beauty, daring and individuality.’
