Latest update on the Frederique-Constant Byte Sailing Team
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!

Not just another Frederique Constant…

NOT JUST ANOTHER FREDERIQUE CONSTANT…
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!
Testimony of a Happy Frederique Constant Customer
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.

Frederique Constant sponsored the event “2009 Cosmopolitan Beauty Awards”
Every year, the international woman’s magazine Cosmopolitan runs their Beauty Awards show and this time round it was held in ShangHai and we were extremely proud to be one of the principal sponsors of the event. Many of the world’s star brands were present and we were no exception. This is a particularly high profile event held in a country that has developed out of all recognition so it was only appropriate that we were there.
At the opening of the Awards the red carpet was rolled out to welcome the stars of Chinese stage and screen, and amongst the actresses present were Vivan Wu, Zhuziyan, Huosiyan, Landy, Ann, Yaochen, Huangxiaolo, AnnieWu, Huke, and Ambose Xu, stars known to all of China and Chinese audiences around the globe, and we at Frederique Constant were especially gratified that these famous celebrities chose to wear our watches to the show. At a beauty awards show it was important that these beautiful women were able to wear beautiful creations, and our watches definitely fall into that category!
At the show everyone was clearly living their passion and we are happy to have helped contribute to that.
