Celebrating its 30th anniversary, Frederique Constant wowed the crowds in Paris with its double complication at an unbelievable price. Once again, Frederique Constant sticks to its slogan of ‘accessible luxury’ and proves that acquiring a quality, manufacture watch with complications does not mean having to mortgage your house.

In 2008 the brand launched its first in-house tourbillon with a silicon escapement wheel, and by 2016, the brand upped the complexity ante and came out with an in-house perpetual calendar watch retailing for under EUR 8,000 – which knocked the socks off every other QP on the market.
