Frederique Constant was founded in 1988 by Dutch couple Aletta Francoise Frédérique Stas-Bax and Peter Constant Stas. The brand name is a tribute to both their great-grandparents – Frédérique Schreiner and Constant Stas. Each Frederique Constant watch is created in a beautiful area of Geneva called Plan-les-Ouates, Switzerland. The location, synonymous world-wide with expert watchmaking, houses their own watch manufacturing studios and testing development areas. It is in these studios that the components and movements, from which every watch is produced, are created.

Frederique Constant make their own calibre movements. The first of which was their patented Heart Beat calibre, which has a revolutionary bridge for the balance wheel on the front side of the movement. Since the Heart Beat, there have been many other calibre releases, each seeking to improve and make better, more reliable mechanical watches.

Positioned within the accessible luxury sector, the collection offers some exquisite pieces that are collectors essentials. The Frederique Constant style is traditional and effortlessly chic, ranging from diamond set dress watches to multi-functional chronograph pieces. The focus is on traditional watchmaking skills and as a result, has a heritage visual appeal. The Horological Smartwatch is a connected model with sleep and activity functions and is described as having a classic look with smart features. Other notable collections include the Slimline, Vintage Rally and Yacht Timer.
