FREDERIQUE CONSTANT AND PRO PADEL LEAGUE UNVEIL OFFICIAL TIMEPIECES

NEW YORK (PERLA)— Frederique Constant reveals the Pro Padel League timepiece series, the Swiss watchmaker’s first dedicated watch release in association with the Pro Padel League (PPL). As the Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of the PPL, Frederique Constant brings the energy of professional padel to its contemporary Highlife collection through two co-branded models for men and women, each encapsulating the best of precision Swiss watchmaking and one of the world’s fastest-growing sports.

The complementary automatic and quartz timepieces make their debut following the official announcement of the partnership earlier this year, marking the Swiss watchmaker’s first partnership with a professional sports league.

This new Highlife collection takes on an energized PPL interpretation with a subtle yet sporty palette and performance-driven features. The 39mm Highlife x PPL Automatic Limited Edition offers a stainless steel 316L case with a combination of brushed and polished surfaces. The textural interplay continues on its matte-grained blue dial with applied indexes and date display at 3 o’clock, beneath an anti-reflective, convex sapphire crystal. Luminous dial detailing ensures strong legibility day or night. The sleek case houses the automatic FC-303 caliber, offering a robust 68-hour power reserve and water resistance up to 10 ATM.

A PPL Cancha Blue and Copa Gold rubber strap with perforated contrast detail alludes to the sport’s distinctive padel racket design. PPL branding also appears on the timepiece’s engraved, screw-down case back. A quick-release system allows an easy exchange of the PPL rubber strap for the model’s accompanying stainless steel bracelet, affirming its sport-ready yet sophisticated versatility in any setting.

The 31mm Highlife x PPL Quartz Limited Edition carries many signature design features through to a more compact proportion, notably the matte-grained blue dial, luminous detailing, date window, and pairing of both strap and stainless steel bracelet. Here, the PPL-branded rubber strap takes on a blue and soft white color. The wristwatch offers an impressive 60 months of battery life, powered by the FC-240 quartz movement, and up to 5 ATM water resistance, making it a chic and practical companion on and off the court.

“Frederique Constant’s partnership with the Pro Padel League positions the brand at the forefront of a dynamic new sporting culture,” said Jeffrey Cohen, President of Citizen Watch America. “As our signature sport watch collection, the Highlife is the right platform to translate the precision and energy of padel into a versatile and compelling timepiece that is distinctly Frederique Constant.”

“As a watch collector, I’ve long admired the craftsmanship behind Frederique Constant’s timepieces,” said Mike Dorfman, CEO of the Pro Padel League. “It’s been rewarding to help shape a padel-inspired series from the very beginning, and it’s a testament to how far the sport has come. The Pro Padel League couldn’t be more excited to introduce this collection to our fans and fellow collectors.”
