Heritage
全球最聞名的製錶公司大多設廠於日內瓦。很多珍貴及罕見的知識及技能都 集中在日內瓦；而且最好的供應商亦會出現在這裡；我們可以互相交流及分 享市場訊息；這促使很多獨立公司如康斯登，今天仍然能夠站在精密時計領 域的最前線。這就是康斯登以日內瓦作為品牌根據地的原因。
真正的熱情
永遠是歷經精密且靈敏的過程所 產生的成果，而不只是某些令人興奮時刻的勳績。它代表了 我們內在的驅動力，而不是日常的習慣或需 求。我們的習慣會改變，我們內在的驅動力則 是基於性格與傳承文化所產生的成果。時光不 停留，但由內在驅動力所造成的成就則會長久 留存。熱情的真相永遠如斯。 一切源於品牌始創人 Aletta 及 Peter Stas對製造精 密時計的熱誠。康斯登自創立品牌以來不斷提昇腕
錶的質素，而且所製作的腕錶亦能真正切合到鐘錶 鑑賞家及收藏家的喜好。除此之外，康斯登的腕錶 能讓所有希望擁有一枚精製瑞士腕錶的鍾錶愛好者 夢想成真。
宗旨與品牌價值
& Brand values
我們的宗旨是令康斯登手錶不僅僅局限於得到鍾錶鑒賞家的喜愛，而是要接觸更廣泛的層面，吸引所有懂得欣賞手錶的愛好者。讓他

質量:
每一枚康斯登腕錶都是以人手裝配，而每一枚手錶都經由人手或儀器

Company Profile
Frédérique Constant was established in its current form in 1988. Aletta Bax and Peter Stas launched their first collection in 1992, comprising six models fitted with Swiss movements and assembled by a watchmaker in Geneva. Frédérique Constant is involved in all the stages of watch production, from initial design to final assembly.
Watches manufactured under its trademark are either designed by Frédérique Constant or by independent designers contracted for a specific series of models. Strong emphasis is placed on watch design to keep abreast of trends and customer preferences. Frédérique Constant uses cutting-edge computer software, principally computer aided design software, to assist in the watch design and development process.
Our mission is not to restrict the interest in Frédérique Constant watches to a limited and elitist circle of connoisseurs but rather to a broader selection of appreciative enthusiasts who want to enjoy high quality classical watches at sensible prices.
Frédérique Constant has exhibited at the World Watch, Clock and Jewellery Show in Basel since 1995. As the company flourished, Aletta Bax and Peter Stas decided to move to Geneva themselves, to develop the brand in the heart of this watchmaking capital.
In 2000, Frédérique Constant opened a new workshop in Chene-Bourg, an attractive commune within the city of Geneva, criss-crossed by narrow, busy streets and very popular with artists.
In 2006, the company moved to a brandnew building in Plan-les-Ouates. The new Frédérique Constant manufacture measures 3200 square meters, divided over four floors, offering an attractive working environment in the sectors of movement component production, calibre assembly, watch assembly, and extensive quality control. Numerically-controlled machines of the latest generation are located in a large atelier in the basement, where all component manufacturing is concentrated. Calibre and watch assembly, as well as state-of-the-art quality control is primarily organized on the first loor of the new Frédérique Constant building. The building is also the brand's international headquarters.
During the past 23 years, Frederique Constant has grown consistently with 25-30% per year. By the end of 2011, the company aims to produce and sell over 110.000 pieces. With its slogan ‘Live your passion’, Frederique Constant will continue with the passionate development and production of exciting new collections. Current plans give the company strong confidence that sustained growth will continue in the future.
