Frederique Constant

Gene

Frederique Constant was established in its current form in 1988 by Aletta Bax and Peter Stas. The brand is involved in all the stages of watch production, from initial design to final assembly. Strong emphasis is placed on watch design to keep abreast of trends and customer preferences.

 

Frederique Constant’s mission is not to restrict the interest in their brand to a limited and elitist circle of connoisseurs but rather to a broader selection of appreciative enthusiasts who want to enjoy high quality classical watches at sensible prices.
