New York City – August 5th, 2010 – Frederique Constant is excited to introduce a new, passionate initiative, exclusively for the United States of America: the Frederique Constant for Cohiba Limited Edition timepieces.
Annual Charity Gala to be held on September 20, 2010 in Paris
Frederique Constant, one of Switzerland’s leading watch brands, is honored to be the official sponsor of the Par Coeur Gala 2010. This Gala event, hosted by the founders of the Par Coeur Association, actress Eva Longoria and NBA star Tony Parker, will once again be held this September 20th in Paris at the beautiful Cambon Capucines Pavillon by Potel and Chabot. The Par Coeur Association, a French foundation, seeks to bring attention to fiscally responsible charities that continuously make substantial differences in the lives of countless families and children worldwide.
This year, the gala will benefit “Toutes A L’Ecoles,” a non-profit organization that operates to create schools and educational programs for young girls in developing countries, as well as “Eva’s Heroes,” a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of those with developmental challenges by creating environments in which they are free to interact, grow, learn, and love.
The annual Par Coeur Gala is meant to be a night of hope and inspiration, attended by prestigious guests and celebrities, with the sole of aim of benefiting Par Coeur Association’s charity partners.
“We are proud to be the official partner for this year’s Par Coeur Gala,” said Frederique Constant CEO Peter Stas. “We are committed to celebrate and support those passionate charitable organizations that go the extra mile to improve the lives of less fortunate people worldwide. Thus, Frederique Constant and the Par Coeur Association form a perfect match.”
Frederique Constant’s company motto is “Live your passion” and it is true passion that made CEO Peter Stas and his wife Aletta Bax evolve from lovers of fine watches into the reputable founders of one of the main success stories within the Swiss watch industry.
“Each year, the gala gains more and more attention and attendees, and we are so honored to have Frederique Constant participate as our official sponsor,” said Eva Longoria. “This year’s Par Coeur Gala will bring together individuals who are dedicated to making a contribution to improving the lives of young girls.”
About Frederique Constant
Since its creation in 1988 by Peter and Aletta Stas, under the premise of the company’s slogan “Live your Passion”, Frédérique Constant has come a long way. Based in Plan-les-Ouates- Geneva, still independent and family-owned, the company has gradually become an important player within the Swiss watchmaking industry. Avid to always offer the best quality and at the same time remain accessible, Frédérique Constant has developed all its departments to be able to control the various stages of the production of its watches, from initial conception to the final quality control and including assembly. In 2004, Frédérique Constant entered the elite circle of Swiss watch brands that develop and produce their own in-house movements. Consequently, Frédérique Constant became a “Manufacture”.
Live your Passion
Recently, during two days, we welcomed our Sales Managers from around the globe in Geneva. Sharing experiences, ideas and information has been of great value and enjoyable at the same time.
The second edition of the Sales Manager Training Days has been a great success and everyone is highly motivated to continue to work extremely hard and to maintain our Focus on Growth.
See herewith the feedback of some of the participants:

Please find herewith a selection of notes on Frederique Constant and its product, randomly found on the internet.
From www.worldwatchreview.com:
What really stands this watch [Maxime Manufacture Automatic] out of the crowd, is its movement. You see, most brands in this price range (the watch will retail below €2000, by the way) are usually powered by standard ETA movements with standard complication modules supplied by third-party manufacturers like, say, Dubois-Depraz. The FC MMA is powered by the company’s own FC-700 in-house movement and, although its accuracy and reliability still have to pass the test of time, this makes it THE most exclusive affordable watch on the market.
“Frederique Constant Star Ambassador” – The retailers training’s events took place in Hong Kong on last June 1st and 2nd at the prestigious Langham Place with over 30 participants. Read more…
