Brand Story
Frederique Constant combines genuine Swiss manufacturing technology with comparatively affordable prices. The brand positions itself between classic entry-level luxury brands and the considerably more expensive haute horlogerie manufacturers.
1 In-House Movements
Although the brand was founded only in 1988, it develops and produces numerous in-house movements ("Manufacture Calibres").
These include:
- automatic three-hand movements
- World time complications
- Perpetual calendars
- Tourbillons
- Monolith oscillator (a modern silicon escapement)
Many competitors in the same price range primarily use standard movements from suppliers.
2 Exceptional Value for Money
Frederique Constant offers features that are often considerably more expensive at other brands. This is one of the main reasons for the brand's popularity.
3 Classic Design
The watches are deliberately designed to be timeless:
- Roman numerals
- guilloché dials
- Breguet hands
- elegant dress watch proportions.
4 Swiss Manufacturing
The brand is based in Plan-les-Ouates and manufactures its watches to "Swiss Made" standards. Since 2016, Frederique Constant has been part of the Japanese Citizen Watch Co.. This gives it financial stability while allowing it to remain based in Switzerland and continue developing its own models.
5 Technical Innovation
Notable for a relatively young brand are innovations such as:
- Silicon components in the movement
- the Monolithic Oscillator, which replaces the balance wheel and hairspring with a single silicon component
- Hybrid and smartwatch models in a classic design
