Looking again in the image gallery, at some of these watches by Frederique Constant featured here, one can appreciate the simplicity, elegance, and quality in each timepiece. This is often what one has in mind when one uses the phrase, “Swiss Made”.
About the Brand
Frederique Constant was established in its current form in 1988. Aletta Bax and Peter Stas launched their first collection in 1992, comprising six models fitted with Swiss movements and assembled by a watchmaker in Geneva. Frederique Constant is involved in all the stages of watch production, from initial design to final assembly. A strong emphasis is placed on watch design to keep abreast of trends and customer preferences. Frédérique Constant uses cutting-edge computer software, principally computer-aided design software, to assist in the watch design and development process.
Our mission is not to restrict the interest in Frederique Constant watches 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.
The name ‘Frederique Constant’ has been created from two names
- Frederique: Frederique Schreiner 1881-1969
- Constant: Constant Stas 1880-1967
The current Managing Director of Frederique Constant S.A., Peter Stas, is a 4th generation descendant of Mr. Constant Stas, who founded his company in 1904, making printed clock dials for the watch industry.
Heritage
Already in the early 18th century, Geneva became known as a major center for the creation and production of fine timepieces. Since then, the Genevan watchmakers have risen to unparalleled heights in the Art of Horology. The first users of timekeepers were astronomers who were responsible for the most significant inventions: the pendulum clock and the watch balance spring.
