Frederique Constant is UNDERRATED | Classic Manufacture Review

In my opinion Frederique Constant one of the most underrated watch brands. They have such good quality watches that all seem to be a lot of value for money and the brand has no less than 15 In house calibers.
In this video I briefly talk about the relatively short history of this young brand and review of one of their in house offerings - Frederique Constant Classic Manufacture.
Enjoy!

I absolutely love Frederique Constant, it is perhaps my favorite affordable brand and I am very happy to hear that people are noticing it! Amazing video shots! Keep the good work

[@WindItOnTheMove]

Their watches are stunning and such great value ..thank you 😊

[@SanjayGupta-qi5lu]

Dude fredrique is definitely one of the most underrated brand. No one tlks abt it. The black dial moonphase with golden bezel is my fav one of FC. Even this one is awesome. Lastly, saw ur video fr the first time. As a watch enthusiast I loved it. Keep doing guud. 👍

[@dr.atulmehta]

I bought a fc bussines timer quarts and love it.

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Your friend’s watch is beautiful and I agree with you about them being underrated! Now that they are part of the Citizen group they get dismissed even more!

[@WindItOnTheMove]

Yea..which is really sad to see. They actually have great watches for the price 😊

[@BigDutchKingTut]

Thank you, great video.

I love that you put your friend’s watch on a rough surface! 👍🏼

[@WindItOnTheMove]

Thats a background paper…but thanks for your concern 😂

[@johnnguyen385]

Haha-you’re a good friend! 🙂

[@kcmoh2952]

I love Federique Constant. I own 2 of their in-house movement watches ( zodiac limited edition and classic moon phase) Both runs +/-4 seconds per day.

[@WindItOnTheMove]

Kc Moh 😊😊 that’s quite good

[@BigDutchKingTut]

@4:35 facts. I fell asleep on my couch with mine on for no longer than a few hrs, (it was brand new at the time) when I woke up, it was covered in swirls, I was a bit upset, but hey; they can't stay new forever, especially when you actually wear them.

The Runabout chronograph version, with the boat, would that be a good present for my dad's 80th birthday? He loves boats and owned many through the years. He even owned/restored/saved the country's oldest wood motor boat. He has very large wrists though, but I'm thinking he could always have it as a showcase or collector's item if he thinks it looks too feminine on his wrist size-wize. My first thought was the 44mm Hamilton Khaki Navy Pioneer chronograph, but the box it comes in is very plain compared to this one. I would appreciate your opinions.

[@dahn7004]

Great vid. I agree, people sleep on this brand.

[@WindItOnTheMove]

D Ahn thank you 😊

planning to get the blue dial highlife stainless steel in a couple of months

[@WindItOnTheMove]

Beautiful and unusual dial😊

I own this watch and there's also 3 other Frederique Constant watches in my household plus a friend who owns one as well. Of the 5 watches I've been around 4 of the 5 have had issues. I don't know what's up with their quality control but it's not good. This one I own came with the second hand loose from the stem and stuck up against the glass. I had to open it up to push it back on the stem and got to notice how bad the finishing on the hands are. $200 Seiko watches have better finished hands. On our Classic Moonphase the rotor came loose and the watch wouldn't wind. The same thing happened to my friends lower end non in-house movement and I opened it and fixed it for him. Another woman's quarts watch had to be sent in for service cause there was something wrong with it too. I still like the brand and the look they offer but I won't be buying another one again.

[@WindItOnTheMove]

Wow! That’s really not a good look. I hope the warranty was useful for these?

[@BfoSHIZnats]

@@WindItOnTheMove Yeah we sent in the Moonphase and the Quartz the other 2 I fixed myself because they were simple fixes.

[@richarddawson5836]

So you have had problems with 4 out of 5 and yet you kept buying them? This sounds like it's made up. Who would continue to buy the same brand if 80% have issues?

[@BfoSHIZnats]

@@richarddawson5836 We didn't weren't buying another right after one had a problem... That's stupid. Both the moonphase and woman's watch which weren't mine went in for repair shortly after they were purchased but I never knew until later. The classic manufacture I bought because it was on a good sale and the one a friend had bought was also significantly reduced but he had bought it before I bought mine except it had it's issue about a year after I bought mine. So 4 of 5 did have issues which weren't made up, so I don't know what to tell you.

[@spikew8673]

Hi there，I have the exact same black dial fc watch, just like the name, is has a very classic look, the size is very good and comfortable on the wrist, and yes, I do pull the tricker on it based on its in-house claim, but a insanly good deal in my opinion, may be plan to get the perpentual caldender tourbillon in the future. By the way, I call it little fatty :)

[@aleksandretamazov6993]

Just bought my first entry FC classic manufacture with white dial, silver bezel, black leather, really excited about it, love the waffle dial and harry potter style hands 😅 truly underrated brand

[@MrVuksa05]

How do you like this watch now after two years? I am looking to buy the same one these days so I would like to hear some first hand experience

[@aleksandretamazov6993]

@@MrVuksa05 love it, leather got a little worn look, which i love it even more.

[@user-or9cj3vk6t]

FC is the intelligent choice and shows youre not led by the dumbed down masses or power of branding

[@timemeasured9137]

Beautifull watch but 42mm is too large for a dress watch.

[@wongbryson]

This video piqued my interest in this brand. 👌

[@WindItOnTheMove]

I’m glad bro 😊😊

[@aamirpatel5300]

How much do you bench bro 💪!

Aamir Patel random question 😅 ...100kg

[@Watchmade]

Great video great watch great brand. I have the smartwatch version of them . You can see this watch by searching for my instagram under „watch made“. It carries the elegance of FC watches and you wouldn’t expect that it is a smartwatch.

[@WindItOnTheMove]

Harun S thank you 😊 interesting il check it out even though I’m not the biggest fan of smart watches 😅

[@operamatthew]

no they are not. as a brand; they suck.

[@kadenelijah9329]

What about them sucks? Or are you just too much of a Rolex fanboy

[@operamatthew]

@@kadenelijah9329 they weight too heavily on other brands iconic designs instead of having their own, they claim to be high end but are largely gold plated & the name is a rip off of VC. i’d rather wear a seiko.

[@kadenelijah9329]

@@operamatthew I thought it was a rip off of VC too, but it’s actually named after the founder’s great grandparents

[@operamatthew]

@@kadenelijah9329 that may be true, but they are lacking identity as a brand. the quality may be decent, but that doesn’t mean the “brand” is good. it has nothing to do with price, nomos and yema are the same price, if not cheaper but are far cooler brand that have an identity.

[@merouby]

I disagree. The brand was set out to offer the best in Swiss at an affordable price - they are well-respected because their isn't anything wrong with the quality on offer - especially when you factor the price, it is one of the most affordable exquisite watches with a true Swiss background. It wasn't a trademark brought up from the dead, or a play on a famous name. It basically the SWATCH version of luxury Swiss watches and the design and quality speaks for itself.
