Frederique Constant - any good?

[NiceCupOfTea]

Was bought a rather nice watch by the above maker for a recent "special" birthday and was advised that I could exchange if I wanted. I was curious as it is not a make I have heard of. A bit of research shows it is a recent Swiss watchmaker. It looks quality, Swiss automatic movement. Came from watchshop.

What's the PH consensus?

A good, but practically unknown, brand that offers good value for the money.
That said, if you're not much fussed on it, then avail of the option to exchange it for something you'll be more comfortable with owning.

I like them. They make their own movements which make them more interesting than some more well known brands.

What have you got?

Not what I would have chosen myself but growing on me - hopefully the sort of thing that won't date. Definitely a "going out" sort of watch.

Shame it doesn't have a black datewheel but that's a very classy looking watch from a decent entry-level Swiss brand. Nice.

Nice and simple and as you say nice going out sort of watch. Wear and enjoy
