Frederique Constant?

[reapercushions]

I’ve seen this brand around in a few places and never really paid much attention. A new found desire for a World Timer / dressier watch led me to one of these:




Price is very good ($4k new, $2.5k on grey market).

Anyone have any experience with either this watch or the brand in general?

I’ve not seen any bad reviews other than some snobbishness around the brand being relatively new. Am I missing something?

I've always taken quite a liking to them, tried one on years ago and bought one just last month.




i bought the moonphase one similar to the above and love it! For value for money their great and I think of them as a really nice dress watch and similar to other swiss brands, JLC and Patek.

The world timer is a nice watch, I waited to buy at the right price but it is a really nice watch make sure you get one with a deployment clasp rather than a buckle, much easier and classier when taking on and off.

Can't comment on the brand but it appeals to me, especially value for money quality and the design.

That World Timer is a little fussy for my personal taste, but I do like the look of your watch Rameez. In fact, it reminds me of my Patek 5205G the way the dial is organised (as you note). I suspect that they are excellent value for money and if I were you Reaper I'd just buy it if you like it and enjoy it.

I really like them.

They are something a little different from the usual brands, and more difficult to pigeonhole someone wearing an Frederique.

Yeah they do a annual calendar which is really nice, Patek's nice but I this a good value for money and everyday wearer.

I'd recommend buying used to everyone as resale isn't great but if they do more advertising I reckon they could be a good strong entry level/mid range contender for dress watches.
