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. [[MORE]]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.

Healey Challenge Canada 2009

Frederique Constant is excited to announce that the Healey Challenge Canada 2009 in Kingston, Ontario, also known as The Year of the Healey-Loyalist was a huge success for both Frederique Constant as well as for the more than 550 people that were in attendance. Over 230 Healey cars could be admired during numerous activities, and also a number of Healey watches was on display. The crowd at the display booth was evidence that the Healey watches are highly desired, specifically the models created for this year's event featuring the event logo on the back of the watch.

While it is obvious Healey owners are passionate about their cars, they also love their Frederique Constant Healey watches. One fan in particular purchased the first edition Healey watch back in 2004, and has purchased all since then, including this year's models!

As the Official Timing Partner & Premier Sponsor of the event, Frederique Constant was honored to offer Limited Edition Healey watches to "Best of Show"  and to the only finisher of an equippe of more than 20 cars, to complete the descerning "Time, Speed, Distance Rally".

It was again exciting to be part of such an event and to meet so many interesting & passionate people, that do not only love cars, but also watches!

We are looking forward to next year's Healey Event... See you all then!

Positive comments on brand new Maxime Manufacture

From the forum on www.EquationOfTime.com:

[[MORE]]

>> You know, initially I was going to say "boring!"... But then I got to thinking... Most current trends are to OVERSIZE, OVERSTUFF, OVERDESIGN! and this watch is the antithesis of those very concepts. I think part of my initial reaction was antipathy toward a maker with whom I am completely unfamiliar. This watch is classic, if a little monotone. The movement is beautiful. Yeah, I would not mind owning this. And I totally dig the radial numerals...!

>> I'll wind enthusiastically. I'd like to see a central seconds hand and perhaps a nibbled 5 & 7, but otherwise find little which requires complaint.

>>Awesome!!!! Love the Movement!!!!

>>No, not boring..... Especially that movement. Looks like a fairly unique balance regulation device there. The dial might have too many different textures, but I'd have to see it in person. I don't see the "old school Hamilton" thing, but it could be one of the VERY few radial numeral dials I could actually like!

 

>>Great back, great crown and a great dial, except for that date subdial. It's probably just me but I think it's really difficult to do the date radially like that. Whether the numerals go around the entire face or just a subdial, to me it's always looks jumbled. Date wheels, especially when matched to the dial, are a good thing.

>>Gorgeous design... I mean, really... that thing is a stunner.

Need we say more...?

Fredérique Constant invites its partners to talk watches

Beginning of September, Frédérique Constant organized its annual Distributor Meeting in Geneva for the sixth consecutive time. During this summit, the brand presented its overall-, its marketing- and its product strategies for the year to come.

With an exciting portfolio of new products for 2009, there was more than enough to discuss. During the various meetings, valuable comments and ideas were brought up by all parties.

Traditionally, the Frédérique Constant Distributor Meeting creates an opportunity for both the brand as well as its distribution partners. In order to satisfy market requirements, it has proven to be highly valuable to brainstorm on novelties in an early stage and to be able to make adjustments, without losing the unique and recognizable brand identity by carefully protecting its DNA.

The meetings normally result in the year-after-year presentation at BaselWorld of an internationally appreciated collection that accedes to a global taste.

It feels good to work closely together with a group of people that shares the passion for beautiful watches that we have here in Geneva at Frédérique Constant.

We are looking very much forward to launch the new products during the next BaselWorld, only six months from now...
