The couple Aletta Stas-Bax and Peter Stas founded Frédérique Constant in 1988. The company is named after two of their ancestors: Frederique Schreiner and Constant Stas. Four years after the Geneva-based company was founded, they presented their first six watch models. A local watchmaker assembled the watches and used Swiss movements . Today, the company is known for their depth of production. They feature calibers developed in-house with complications such as a perpetual calendar, tourbillon, or flyback chronograph, all at fair prices.

Frédérique Constant keeps things modern; their Horological Smartwatch is evidence of this. The watch is unique: It's a smartwatch with a classic analog display that connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth. This makes manually setting your watch a thing of the past. Furthermore, the Horological Smartwatch has a range of diverse functions, such as an activity tracker , sleep monitor , smart alarm, world time function, and the so-called Dynamic Coach. Frédérique Constant's E-Strap, a strap with an integrated smartwatch module, offers the same features. Using the E-Strap, you can turn any mechanical watch into a smartwatch. The leather strap is attached to the watch case like any regular strap.
