I talked to Peter Stas and I took pictures of the novelties he offers here at Baselworld with his two brands Frédérique Constant and Alpina. Click here and listen to our conversation and discover the new watches.
Peter Stas, CEO of Frédérique Constant and Alpina
And these are the pictures of the novelties and some of the watches Peter talks about …
Alpina Sailing Yacht Timer
Alpina Heritage Pilot “Alpina 130 years”
Alpina Startimer Pilot Chrono Quartz
Frédérique Constant Slimline Manufacture Moonphase
Very strange stats, more likely how the brand WANTs the things to be, but not like they really are, at least for Russia. According to our store sales (for FC brand):
1. In-house movements – almost 0% sales. 1 piece a year is good result. 100% fail.
2. Dark to Light dials – 80% to 20 % respectively.
3. The most successive model of all times – Lady’s Automatic. For gents, maybe, Index 303 with black dial on a black strap.
Thanks for bringing us the interview(s). I really enjoy listening to them.
FC has been on my list for quite some time. I would have aquired one by now but distruibution in the US is not as wide as I wish it were.
Hello Steve, thank you for your interest in Frederique Constant. Currently more than 115 of the most renowned watch retailers in the USA carry our brand. They are all listed on our website. Alternatively, please let me know what area you live, so we can recommend a store nearby.
Thank you,
