February. The celebration begins on the eve of the lunar new year and

NOT JUST ANOTHER FREDERIQUE CONSTANT…
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!
Frederique Constant Pre Basel Novelty - Maxime Manufacture for Ladies
January 23rd, 2010Frédérique 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.

Testimony of a Happy Frederique Constant Customer
January 21st, 2010Hey …..
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.
