Frederique Constant

In the early 18th century Geneva became a major centre for the creation and production of fine timepieces. Since then, Genevese watchmakers have risen to unparalleled heights in the art of horology. The first users of timing devices were astronomers who were responsible for the most significant inventions: the pendulum clock and the watch balance spring.

When Frédérique and Constant first met they knew it would be the beginning of a long and rewarding relationship, and the Frédérique Constant marriage has proved to be a very successful and productive one. The name 'Frédérique Constant' has been created from two names: Frederique: Frederique Schreiner, 1881-1969 Constant: Constant Stas, 1880-1967.

The current Managing Director of Frédérique Constant S.A., Peter Stas, is a 4th generation descendant of Mr. Constant Stas, who founded his company in 1904, making printed clock dials for the watch industry.
