Frederique Constant: True luxury for a broader audience

Frederique Constant is a Swiss manufacturer of luxury wristwatches, in business since 1988 and currently, a part of Citizen Holdings (since 2016). The brand is a brilliant example of the idea that its in-house calibers can be as original as its aesthetics and for that, things do not need to get too expensive.

Frederique Constant watches are tad bigger comparatively and sports some very unique designs and concepts, the epitome of which is the Frederique Constant Horological Smartwatch Collection. Smart features put into classic-looking timepieces, testifying that Frederique Constant is always in pursuit of advancements, both in engineering procedures and its related technical aspects.

For the Frederique Constant smartwatch, they combine hand-made timepieces from the brand and modern smartwatch technology without using a digital screen. They use sensor data collection engines to show daily activities and sleep cycles in an analog format.

Their offerings check all the boxes cited as hallmarks of a good brand, one among which is the use of very fine and traditional finishes. Guilloche dials and the Cotes de Genève are common to all. They hold a few patents on authentic designs and use of new materials (e.g. silicon for escapement wheels).

Apart from the smartwatch, Frederique Constant presents a wide range of watches to choose from, both for men and women. Some of the brand’s best collections include the Classic Collection with clean lines and classic looks; watches that go almost everywhere and anywhere. That bit of technical oomph is also not missing here; the Frederique Constant Moon has it in forms of a Heart Beat and Moon phase indicators with a date-pointer feature. This is different from the Frederique Constant hybrid mentioned at first; there’s no point in comparing the frederique constant classic with other Frederique Constant watches; not even the Frederique Constant Worldtimer!
