![]() The production of Frederique Constant offers rather social watches. In 2002, the Stas couple revive the traditional Swiss brand Alpina, which becomes a sister brand of Frederique Constant and is supposed to satisfy the demand for sports watches. The brand finds its home in Geneva, gradually expanding to such an extent that in 2000 it opens a new production facility in the Chêne-Bourg district. It is assembled by a Geneva watchmaker and contains Swiss movements. Everything culminates with the presentation of the first collection in 1992. ![]() The brand was named after their ancestors Frederique Schreiner and Constant Stas. Its history begins in 1988, when husband and wife Aletta and Peter Stas start designing their own collection of watches. The water resistance of this model is 100m (10 ATM), so it can handle even greater contact with water, such as swimming.įrederique Constant is a relatively young brand from the point of view of the watch world. The elegant yet clear guilloche dial is protected by a sapphire crystal that is maximally scratch-resistant. The movement's operation can be observed thanks to the transparent escapement. This function is made possible by an in-house mechanical module developed by Alpina itself and applied to the base of the movement, which is the Sellita SW500. Inside the case, the Swiss mechanical automatic movement FC-380 with 25 jewels works reliably, which operates at a frequency of 28800 semi-frequencies per hour and has a function of counting down the 10 and 5 minutes to the start of the race (using five fields at the top of the dial, whose color changes depending on the elapsed time). The case of the Frederique Constant FC-380ST4H6 is made of stainless steel and is complemented by a leather strap. However, its features and design make it useful not only for regatta races, but also for everyday wear.
