On Tuesday March 9th, Frédérique Constant CEO Peter Stas had the pleasure of presenting part of the 2010 Novelties to a selection of renowned German journalists.
In the lavishly decorated private Frédérique Constant Salon in the beautiful Bayerischer Hof Hotel in Munich, members of the press were given the opportunity to interview Peter Stas and to discover the great Frederique Constant Novelties, such as the sophisticated Runabout, the elegant Maxime Manufacture Lady and the innovative Junior-line.
Highly positive comments were expressed by the knowledgeable German press on the new collection. Peter Stas said: ‘We had a very good and pleasant day today in Munich, and the positive comments we received from the German press are first of all highly appreciated but also encouraging, on the ‘eve’ of BaselWorld!’

Spring festival, or what is more known as the Chinese New Year, is
considered one of the most important events in China. The celebration is
based on the lunar calendar, so that the first day of the lunar year marks
the Chinese New Year. Thus, the event falls between late January to early
February. The celebration begins on the eve of the lunar new year and
continues on until the fifth day of the lunar calendar’s first month. Next
will come the lantern festival.

Back to action with a first pre-world regattas this weekend in Cannes. Sebastien has started well with a first and third position on Friday. Racing to continue Saturday and Sunday.
February will be a very busy month on the sailing front for the preparation of the early April world championship and qualification for the Youth Olympic games. Following this weekend race a total of 10 days training are planned in February. The Swiss Team will join the New Zealand and Singapore sailing team for some group training during February.
March will be the same with intensive training before the World championship that will start on the 6th of April.
Meanwhile, the team continue to prepare their physical conditions with 4 sessions/week of physical training.
As you can see the team is busy but the moral and enthousiasm is high. More to follow after this weekend racing.
Sébastien did finish 3rd this weekend (Cannes) at the pre-world practice racing with 9 races sailed in three days. So far so good!

Sometimes, a casual visit to a watch gallery could end up being an expensive trip.
I was at a watch gallery recently identifying possible gifts for a friend to choose as a present. We were practically spoilt for choice by the many models available. The swelled crowd due to the festive season did not deter us spending time browsing and perusing the various available brands and models one after the other.
After identifying two choices for the possible present from the many Frederique Constant models displayed, the attention was then focussed on one particular Frederique Constant model that the eyes were somewhat attracted to.
Model FC-303V6B4 with its 43 cm diameter and a rose gold finished case, a cream coloured dial and see-through caseback was just mesmerising. Though the dial looked rather large, I just could not resist the temptation of having the watch on the wrist. The moment it was placed on the wrist, it kind of grooved and felt fittingly at ease.
This automatic model with an FC303 movement carries a clear dial with a date display at 3 o’clock and is fitted with a genuine brown crococalf leather strap and a matching FC buckle.
The simple solution then was just to let it stay on the wrist and bring it home as a Chinese New Year’s self-present, albeit a very much lighter wallet in the pocket and an out of budget expenditure…again!

Frédérique Constant is delighted to introduce its new Manufacture timepiece for women: the “Maxime Manufacture Lady”. A watch as technical as it is elegant.
Continuing down the road of developing Manufacture calibers, bringing the creation and production of the watch movements in-house, Frédérique Constant presented the new Maxime Manufacture Automatic range during BaselWorld 2009. A series of watches conceived in-house, with passion and eye-for-detail.
As a result of the fruitful marriage of technical excellence and outstanding contemporary design of the first Maxime, Frédérique Constant took the bold step of expanding the range with the Maxime Manufacture Lady, especially designed for the modern woman. Today’s woman desires above all an elegance that demonstrates a return to real values, and Frédérique Constant is at the forefront of this movement. The new Maxime Manufacture Lady is a watch that will not just match, but surpass, their expectations.
The Maxime Manufacture Lady comes in several versions, including the use of rose gold bezel set with 52 diamonds. Using fine mother-of-pearl for the dial, the timepiece also has diamond indexes and a central finely decorated “sunray” guilloché pattern. A chic Galuchat strap completes the picture of elegance.
The Maxime Manufacture Lady, designed for women of tomorrow with yesterday’s tradition.

Hey …..
I am not sure if you remember me or not, but my brother and I met you in Bloomingdale’s New York (59th Street) a few weeks ago. We picked out a watch from you for our retiring employee who had been with our company for over 40 years. We ended up selecting the Heart Beat watch and I just wanted to let you know that he absolutely LOVED it. He wears it with such pride. Thank you so much for making the process so easy and for all your help. It is much appreciated.
If you are ever in New York again, please feel free to stop by our showroom. It would be a pleasure to see you again.
I hope you are well and wish you all the best for the new year.
