Frederique Constant Sales Manager Training Days - Second Edition

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:

'Thank you all very very much for your hospitality and congratulations for this rare spirit of emulation and “sense of belonging” you have induced to the team.

My only regret?... I missed the golf clinic on Saturday!

All the best and thanks a million!'

Major Frederique Constant Passion Event coming up in Beijing, China

At the moment the preparations of the Frederique Constant Passion Event in Beijing are in full effect. On October 24 over 300 VIP guests and journalists are expected to attend this exclusive happening, which is taking place on various locations throughout this exciting city. 

The event is organized to celebrate the re-launch of the Frederique Constant-brand on the Chinese market, with our new partner Xin Yu. With this company - being one of the largest watch distributors in China and with a vast experience in this field - the brand is on its way to become extremely popular under Chinese watch buyers.

In order to accelerate this process, Frederique Constant is proud to announce the appointment of its new brand ambassador during the evening program at Meilanfang Theatre. After the announcement all guests are treated to a passionate concert, performed by the world renowned Beijing Symphony Orchestra.

Please visit this weblog again soon to discover who will be our new brand ambassador and for pictures of this exclusive event!

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...

Armed with this conviction, the manufacture decided to encourage achievements of passionate men and women who have been able to develop their ideas, moving quickly from an innovative concept to a fast-expanding company.[[MORE]]
It was in the presence of the ten finalists and in front of an audience of 800 handpicked guests, that the second Passion Awards prize-giving ceremony took place Thursday June12th. During a very passionate concert by the Chamber Orchestra of Geneva, Peter and Aletta Stas, both passionate about watch-making and kind-hearted entrepreneurs of the Frédérique Constant brand, honoured two prize-winners chosen from among the ten international candidates in contention for the Passion Awards:

* Pierre Marcolini is the founder and CEO of Pierre Marcolini Chocolatier. Belgian by nationality, Italian by origin, Pierre Marcolini Chocolatier is the known producer of « Haute Couture » chocolate. Created in 1995, the company now counts over 15 flagship stores around the world. A meteoric success that is the result of excellence, audacity, and a passion for all things gourmet.
*
Laura Cotton is the founder of Paint a Smile, a Foundation dedicated to the improvement of hospital environments. After a tragic accident in her family, she decided to dedicate her life to the improvement of the hospital environment. Paint a Smile’s mission is to reduce the anxiety and de-dramatize a stay in hospital by permanently transforming the cold and impersonal environment into a colorful and welcoming world. Today, Laura Cotton is the passionate President of the Foundation.
The jury, made up of Peter and Aletta Stas, respectively CEO and COO of Frédérique Constant, Dominique Turpin, marketing and strategy professor from the IMD Institute of Lausanne, Carlo Lamprecht, Former Chairman of the State Council of Geneva and Dr. Haig Simonian, Bureau Chief of the Financial Times in Switzerland, hailed Pierre Marcolini and Laura Cotton for their enthusiasm and passion.

Sir Richard Branson offers his Frédérique Constant watch for charity

Over 3000 guests gathered at the Hangar in Brisbane for the star studded evening hosted by Global Entrepreneur and Virgin Group Chairman, Sir Richard Branson, The Hon. Anna Bligh, Premier of Queensland and Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey.

Following a candlelit dinner from 8pm when event organizers switched off the lights for Earth Hour along with millions of people in some of the world’s major capital cities, entertainers Marcia Hines, Rogue Traders, Evermore and Housequake kept the crowd on the dance floor until the early hours of Sunday morning.

Nearly $1 million was raised on the night for projects and initiatives under the theme ‘Indigenous Peoples, Natural Environment’. Amongst the array of 'money can't usually buy' items in the mega charity auction, were two Frederique Constant timepieces worn by Sir Richard and Elka. Sir Richard’s Limited Edition timepiece from the High Life Collection is a signature piece from the brand featuring the unique ‘heart beat’ movement.

The ‘Heart Beat’ watch first developed by Frederique Constant in 1994 features a dial opening revealing the mechanical movement (or its “beating” heart). In 2004, after three years of research and development, Frederique Constant presented its first in-house movement, the ‘Heart Beat Manufacture.’ The company has since become a member of the small and exclusive group of Swiss watch manufacturers that produce their own calibres.

Frederique Constant is distributed in Australasia by the AVSTEV Group. Steven Rom, CEO, AVSTEV Group, acquired the distribution rights to the brand in 2006.
