Frederique Constant has redefined the elite circle of Swiss watchmaking, establishing itself as a dominant force and an eminent player in the watchmaking industry. But where did it all begin? It all started in 1988 when Aletta and Peter Stas founded Frederique Constant. The couple embarked on a journey to design their watch collection to adhere to the highest standards of craftsmanship and innovation. They successfully began scripting a new chapter in luxury watchmaking with their groundbreaking 18th Century Collection, launched in 1992.

Their ambition was to provide the best possible quality at a reasonable price. The 18th Century Collection featured Swiss movements assembled in Geneva, marking the brand’s early success in producing timepieces of exceptional quality. In 1994, the brand introduced its first Heart Beat design, featuring an aperture at noon to reveal the heart of the mechanical movement. This signature feature would become synonymous with the Frederique Constant name. This unique design began a series of innovations that helped the brand carve its place in the world of horology.

Frederique Constant’s journey of success took an exciting turn when the company relocated to Geneva and exhibited its collections at Baselworld. This marked the beginning of an era of continuous innovation, with the brand embracing cutting-edge technology, state-of-the-art designs, and blending modernity with classic craftsmanship. As the years passed, Frederique Constant’s classic collections began to gain widespread recognition, cherishing an everlasting legacy of aesthetic beauty and technical precision.

With an extensive inventory of the latest MANUFACTURE, HIGHLIFE, and CLASSICS watch series now available at the Time Source Jewelers online store, here’s a brief overview of the collections we are launching.
