Frederique Constant

Driven by the concept of 'accessible luxury', Peter and Aletta Stas founded Frédérique Constant in Geneva in 1988, aiming to offer luxury watches at affordable prices. The brand develops its own calibres in-house, including complications such as perpetual calendars and tourbillons, which are offered at comparatively moderate price points. The defining hallmark of the brand is the Heart Beat model (1994) with an aperture at 12 o'clock revealing the movement. The brand's core collections include the Classics line, which combines timeless elegance with features such as a date display or moon phase indicator; the Slimline Manufacture line, which features ultra-thin in-house movements; and the Highlife collection, which is characterised by its integrated bracelet and modern design.
