A Brief History of Frederique Constant
Frederique Constant was founded in 1988 by Dutch married couple
Aletta Francoise Frederique Stas-Bax and Peter Constant Stas. The
name of the company is derived from the great-grandparents of each
founder - Frederique Schreiner and Constant Stas who incidentally,
founded a company which produced dials in 1904. Equipped with
Swiss movements and assembled by a Geneva watchmaker, Aletta
and Peter Stas designed their watch collection - the 18th Century
Collection - in 1992. 2 years later, the brand launched its first Heart
Beat timepiece with an aperture on the dial at 12 o’clock to show the
heart of its mechanical movement; this later went on to become
Frederique Constant’s signature model. Once Aletta and Peter Stas
moved to Geneva, Switzerland in 1997 the brand saw even more
success. Throughout the next decade, various collections were
released; the vintage rally and the runabout to name but a few. In
2016, Frederique Constant was acquired by Citizen Watch Co. Limited
and its brand portfolio was strengthened. 2023 saw Frederique
Constant celebrate their 35th anniversary. As well as this, it was the
brand’s first appearance at the most prestigious international fine
watchmaking show - Watches and Wonders. Even in the present day,
Frederique Constant aims to make luxury accessible to all people.

Frederique Constant Achievements
Regularly bringing new technologies to the market, Frederique
Constant watches have always been innovative. In the late 1990s, the
brand became known for its Heart Rate Manufacture and in 2005 it
won ‘Watch of the Year’ in the Horologes Magazine. The brand also
created a Tourbillon with a silicon escape wheel in 2007; it was widely
praised by industry insiders. Most excitingly, Frederique Constant
teamed with Alpina brands and introduced the Horological
Smartwatch in 2015 - a smartwatch product with motion and sleep-
tracking functions that uses a secondary analogue dial rather than a
screen for its display.
