BRIEF INFORMATION ON FREDERIQUE CONSTANT WATCHES

Frederique Constant is an independent family owned watch manufacturer based in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva. Alleta and Peter Stas decided to found their own watch production at the end of 1980s. Named after Aletta's great grandmother Frederique Schreiner and Peter's great grandfather Constant Stas. This company was created to compete in a segment of the watch market that in no way lacks brand.

Since it is no longer enough to just purchase automatic movement, Frederique Constant decided to elevated itself by simple though exciting idea, produced it's own automatic movement, the base plate and the dial were opened up in the region of the movement 's balance and the escapement so that one would be able to observe the balance's excited swinging on the front of the watch. The obvious association with a quickly beating heart was also reflected in the name of the collection, HEART BEAT.

After the success of the first series of Double Heart Beat ladies watches, introduced in 2006, Geneva-based Watch Manufacturer Frederique Constant presents a new version of this passionately feminine wrist watch. A new creative timepiece designed by ladies, for ladies: the “LOve Heart Beat” models.

After the worldwide recognized Double Heart Beat Dial aperture, which became an iconic product within the Frederique Constant collection of Ladies’ watches, the new “LOve Heart Beat” model features a very special LOve aperture in the dial, set with diamonds and a liberally opened O-shape to let us discover the escapement of a finely decorated automatic movement, also visible through the back of the case thanks to the sapphire crystal.

The case shape is gently rounded with a diameter of 34mm and the fine ‘godron’ decoration all around the bezel gives the watch timeless elegance. The dial, decorated with a subtle heart-shaped guilloche finishing, features a charming LOve opening at 12 o'clock, set with sparkling diamonds, revealing the beating of the heart of the watch.

The “LOve Heart Beat” watches are presented in different trendy colors: in rose gold plated with either a sweet vanilla or a gourmet chocolate finishing, and in steel with a romantic opaline and mother of pearl dial finishing, set with shiny diamonds varying in number according to the different versions, which will perfectly blend with the current fashion trends…

Frederique Constant SA is a manufacture of luxury wrist watches based in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva. The company was established in its current form in 1988 by Aletta Bax and Peter Stas and is involved in all the stages of watch production, from initial design to final assembly. The company produced and sold over 80,000 watches in 2007.

Frederique Constant operates a manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates measuring 3200 square meters, divided over four floors, in the sectors of movement component production, calibre assembly, watch assembly, and extensive quality control. Numerically-controlled machines of the latest generation are located in a large atelier in the basement, where all component manufacturing is concentrated. Calibre and watch assembly, as well as state-of-the-art quality control is primarily organized on the first floor.

The Heart Beat Manufacture won the 'Watch of the Year' Award in category up to € 3.000,- of Horloges Magazine in 2005.

Frederique Constant participated in the Only Watch activity to fund important medical research helping children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

In February 2007, Frederique Constant began production of the Silicum escapement wheel (first introduced to the industry by Patek Philippe in 2005.) Frederique Constant introduced the Heart Beat Calibre FC 935 Silicium in October 2007. It implements new high tech materials to create better, more precise and more reliable mechanical watches.

In April 2008, Frederique Constant established itself as one of Switzerland’s leading watch brands with the creation of a tourbillon with a silicium escape-wheel and, for the first time, an amplitude of over 300 degrees between its vertical and horizontal positions. Coupled with the rapid oscillation, this gives the watch an unusually high level of precision, while the silicium guarantees optimum protection.

Frederique Constant is represented in Asia with brand ambassador Shu Qi. Frederique Constant and Paint-a-Smile Foundation transformed the murals on the walls of the cardiology department at the Beijing Children's Hospital in 2009
