I love what these guys do and what they stand for. Accessible luxury - opening up opportunities to get people to be more passionate about horology is a great cause. I also love that they treat Swiss watch making heritage with reverence and dignity. I just ordered my first Frederique Constant, they certainly earned a spot in my collection to sit along side with Longines, Omega, and Tudor. Keep up the great work FC! This is good stuff.
I always thought it was amazing how they started and steered this company during a difficult time of the quartz crisis (maybe it should have been called the mechanical recession). Many long storied companies went under during that time. Frederique Constant is credible and here to stay in the luxury watch category.
I purchased the Worldtimer model FC-718WM4H6 while in Perth Australia and I love the watch. Traveling between Australia and the US allowed me to track time during stops in Dubai, Houston, and Perth AU. Thank you Mr. Stas for producing a quality watch at a nice price level. As the owner of 30+ time pieces, my Worldtimer from Frederique is my favorite.
@Peter Stas after watching this video, you inspired me to trust the Frederique Constant brand and I'm now a proud owner of the magnificent watch: Frederique Constant FC-718NWM4H6. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. This watch is outstanding and I'll definitely buy another watch from one of your collections. Thank you for creating a Swiss exceptional quality masterpieces and keeping them at affordable pricetag which is helping/allowing people to enjoy and own a piece of Swiss perfection for a fraction of the price. Regards, Bartek
Great company ideology ... Great outcome... I always adored the classic designs of Vacheron Constantin and JLC and Patek Philippe. But the fact that even if I could rob a bank and buy one:), I knew could not wear any of those brands on regular basis mainly because of the fear of damaging at some point.. Once that reality has struck me, I was hopeless.. Then one day, I saw the elegant Frederic Constant watches. Now I feel happier..
I love my FC though the design is a little derivative (but which is also why it looks so good. My boss who wears a Jaeger thought mine was too from a distance). Would like to see them develop more proprietary designs. They need an iconic design...that is the true mark of a luxury watch brand.
These guys are making their own movements, which is... fantastic 🤗💟 Of course the masses won't care much but I call it consistency and very ambitious. My next watch will be a Constant! Have 26 G-Shocks now (which took away the joy of wearing true Swiss), 2 Tags (am never wearing them) and 1 Victorinox Alliance Automatic black ⚫ which idk why I... love.
Speaking of precision: If these guys left large gaps in their watches as you do around your commas and periods, they would fall apart as soon as you try to put them on. You leave exactly one space after each comma and period, not before them and not multiple ones.
Hi, the FC-303 movement found in the FC-303M4P6B3 is based on either the ETA-2824 or Sellita SW200, which is explained in one of our videos: ow.ly/ntQ1303YZJP. FC in-house movements are found in the Manufacture collection. Hope we were able to help.
Orient is great value, but the quality is not near up to par with FC, they’re inspired by Bregeut and make watches that compete with luxury. Also, the Orient literally just shows AM & PM, not the proper 29.5 day moon phase.
I would rather have a seiko than an fc. I mean cmon fc has never made a contribution to the watch world seiko is a way more prestigious brand than fc plus a spring drive grand seiko is way more technical and way better made than any fc if you think any other way youre delusional
I just bought my boyfriend a Frederique Constant Classic today for our 4 year anniversary.
It’s a beautiful, but simple watch.

It's a philosophy, not an ideology. They're a watch brand, not a political movement or religion.
@@einundsiebenziger5488 Thanks for the correction. Please let me know if you need any help with Greek or Turkish translation in the future..
The class and commitment of the company shines through their products. There is something special about FC.
Yes indeed, a special brand indeed
Fantastic Brand! keep the good work!!!

One of my favorite brands!
Ordering my Frederique Constant. Thanks for sharing. ⌚

Great Company.
Great Results !

26 G-Shocks? 🤯
But we couldn't agree more with you, it's a fantastic brand.
What is the model of watch at 6:00 if anyone knows please?
It has been 3 years but for anyone still looking for it, the watch name is “Frederique Constant Classics Men's GMT Automatic FC-350S5B6”
Finally! Have been seraching for this look combined with the same quality and price! Nicely done. Im going with FC.
You won't regret it! 😊
Just picked up a Slim Line Small Seconds. Great value for such quality!
Definitely, enjoy your new watch 👍
Nice pick!
@@Montredothank you! Will do! Cheers
Amazing , a lot of hard work , precision through micro engineering creating beauty . Keep it up .

Do they put in house mechanism in all watches? Im interested in particular model: FC-303M4P6B3

Great video. Amazing brand.
I got my Rose Gold Runabout last week and it is definitely the centerpiece of my collection.
Awesome, enjoy! :)
Bought my first FC about a month ago. Like a next level after quartz watches for years.
Great choice, hope you like it!
@@Montredo sure I do.
Anyone notice the "LoL" at 2:04?
haha now it can't be unseen XD
I dont when and how i will get money for that slim moonphase with rome numbers but i will. ❤❤
I'm about to order my first FC watch in celebration of 5 years of marriage! Can't wait to see it on my wrist!
Congrats David, enjoy your FC!
Which watch is that in the thumbnail
Incredible
Beautifull
fantastic watches. I own a few of them including the rose gold world timer - alongside my Rolex pieces.
No one gives a shit
Amazing
Awesome
FC is dutch...?
The founders are Dutch but the company is based in Switzerland.
Nederland ooh Nederland jij bent de kampioen. Wij houden van oranje ....
My next watch will be an in-house FC auto chrono.
That Skyburst deep sea blue 🌒 moonphase has my attention....
😍
Great watches, but the size is just too big :(
They also have a wide array of smaller-sized watches. 👍
And now Citizen what will do?
citizen owns the brand for quite a while now and they do quite cool things together!
I came to know about frederique constant today while i entered in to the mall to purchase rolex
And what are your thoughts about the brand? :)
@@Montredo it's a good brand
@@muhammedyousaf09 Indeed!
And Orient Sun and Moon look similar, have just as good of a movement if not better, and cost a fraction.
yes, there are many brands with good value for money.
Orient is great value, but the quality is not near up to par with FC, they’re inspired by Bregeut and make watches that compete with luxury. Also, the Orient literally just shows AM & PM, not the proper 29.5 day moon phase.
They have to improve their leather straps.
do you have bad experience with their straps?
@@Montredo i can relate, their leather isn't as good as other bigger watch making maufacturer, it's kinda hard to explain.
Yes I also have problems with the strap
seiko shade 1:04 lol
Is Fredrick Constant like the step headed child of Vacheron Constantin?
Luv FC
👏👌👍
Goood 😍😍😍😍😍💯💯💯💯
"Whatchechs"
Who is Frederique Constant?
Or was this name chosen as a rip off of Vacheron Constantin?
Frédérique Constant is derived from the names of the great-grandparents, Frédérique Schreiner and Constant Stas, of each founder.
Nederlander...
I would rather have a seiko than an fc. I mean cmon fc has never made a contribution to the watch world seiko is a way more prestigious brand than fc plus a spring drive grand seiko is way more technical and way better made than any fc if you think any other way youre delusional
Copycats... Lack of characters
the CEO: "Vacheron's are amazing and the name is cool too, make our name as close to that without incurring legal trouble"....
This brand sucks
