Modern luxury culture fueled by commercialism seems to advocate purchases of luxury items at very high prices. Some people seem to focus only on how expensive an item is instead of focusing on its value. This unfortunate practice has eroded the true traditions of luxury where price was ultimately the function of the intrinsic value and quality of the item being purchased.

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 has something to be proud about. At the very least it should be something that is exiting to fine watch consumers. While not the only company to offer relatively low cost in-house made movements, their new Maxine Manufacture Collection watches are beautifully made and feature a totally in-house made Swiss movement for under 2000 Euros.

Both trade partners (distributors & retailers) as well as members of the press and also end-consumers that visited the Frédérique Constant booth were evenly impressed by the novelties.
Reactions to the all-new Maxime series were highly positive. The Maxime Manufacture Automatic surprised the audience with its technical sophistication on the in-house movement and the extremely competitive price level on the other hand. Read more…
