frédérique constant<br />

peter Stas and aletta Stas-Bax founded their company in 1988, combining the names of their great-grandfathers —frédérique Schreiner and<br />

constant Stas—to make frédérique constant. Together, they presented the first frédérique constant collection in 1992, with a focus on classi-<br />

cal and traditional design. The brand’s slogan is “live your passion,” and its philosophy is to create valuable luxury timepieces at prices that a<br />

broad audience of watch-lovers can meet.<br />

combines straight lines with rounded surfaces, and a combination of matte and polished case parts. finishing the look is a silvered, guilloche<br />

dial with either roman numerals or numbered indices, and an alligator strap ($2,550).<br />
