Frederique Constant Classics Collection
They say that style is in a constant stage of change, but Frederique Constant, as the namesake suggests, offers a different maxim: that the beauty of watchmaking is timeless, and that an ode to the past is the truest appreciation of horology. Within Frederique Constant's diverse offerings is a collection that sings this very song loudest: the Frederique Constant Classics collection.
About Frederique Constant Classics Watches
Imagine a brand that, in just a few decades, has managed to establish itself as a significant player in the Swiss watch industry. Now imagine that same brand innovating with in-house movements, modern materials, and avante-garde styling. Enter Frederique Constant.
The storied brand's Classics collection is one of its earliest releases, with its initial introduction occurring in the early 1990s. By 1994, Frederique Constant released its first Heart Beat timepiece, with the aperture at 12 o'clock becoming a signature staple of both the brand and the Classics collection. Similar open-heart designs can be found in Frederique Constant's much sportier Highlife collection.
Frederique Constant Classics History
Founded by Aletta and Peter Stas in 1988, with their first collection released in 1992, Frederique Constant is a relatively new player in the Swiss watch game. Though they had humble beginnings, they continuously innovated and released watches that punched far above their weight in terms of price to quality.
They were, and are, well known for watches that draw inspiration from some of the titans of the Swiss Watch industry who focus on classic designs and dress pieces. Arguably, their most iconic collection, which draws the most inspiration from the aforementioned brands, is the Classics Collection.
With everything from Roman numerals, Guilloché dials, Breguet hands, and slim designs that are easy to fit under a cuff, the Frederique Constant Classics collection is an appropriate accompaniment to a black tie event, while also maintaining the ability to wear nicely with jeans and a t-shirt.
How Much Do Frederique Constant Classics Watches Cost?
Frederique Constant watches are considered "entry-level" Swiss luxury timepieces.

The vast majority of Frederique Constant offerings, however, fall between $1500 and $3500. No matter what your budget is, Frederique Constant is a reputable brand that offers real Swiss luxury at an attainable price.

What's Unique About Frederique Constant Classics Watches?
These are not your grandfather's dress watch, and we mean that-literally. Frederique Constant's inception began with an ode to traditional watchmaking, but crafted with contemporary materials, movements, and colors, Frederique Constant has paved the way for the "return" of classic timepieces at an accessible price point. From moonphase complications to Clous De Paris Guilloché dials, Frederique Constant successfully marries old-world horological techniques to new designs.
Frederique Constant Classics Movements
Frederique Constant, like the vast majority of Swiss watchmakers, relied on ETA and Sellita-produced movements. These "workhorse" movements, available as automatics or quartz, were robust, reliable, and aligned with the rest of FC's competition. That said, with the backing of Citizen Watch corporation, Frederique Constant invested heavily in manufacturing their own movements.
Frederique Constant's transition to in-house movements marked a significant milestone in their horological journey. Their in-house calibers exemplify their dedication to craftsmanship and precision, offering enhanced reliability and showcasing Frederique Constant's technical prowess and commitment to watchmaking.
Furthermore, their foray into tourbillon movements represents the pinnacle of their watchmaking artistry and expertise. The Manufacture Tourbillon collection, featuring heirloom quality timepieces like the Slimline Tourbillon Manufacture, exhibits Frederique Constant's ability to accomplish the highest levels of horology.
Frederique Constant Classics Watch Colors
One of the great things about Frederique Constant is that they are willing, as a brand, to take chances with color. They offer the classics: blacks, blues, silvers, and whites. But they also take chances and offer vibrant greens, starry dials, robust reds, and on and on. No matter what your color palette is, Frederique Constant has an offering for you within their Classics collection.
Frederique Constant Classics Watch Materials
The Frederique Constant Classics collection is crafted from stainless steel. Some models are offered with gold or rose gold plating. All Frederique Constant Classics watches are made with sapphire glass crystals for extra scratch resistance and durability. Across the range, Frederique Constant offers stainless steel bracelets, calf leather, and even exotic straps made from alligator leather.
Frederique Constant Classics Watch Complications
There is a wide range of complications available within the Frederique Constant Classics collection, meeting the needs of even the most discerning of enthusiasts. Within the range, there are pointer date, moonphase, day-date, chronograph, world time, and GMT timepieces available. Feel free to inquire with us about a specific complication you may be interested in!
