frederique constant!

Is frederique constant a decent horology house with reliable movement?

I am curious as I do not own one. They have some stunning pieces. Thanks

They have some neat pieces, I do like the speake marin perpetual and steel tourbillion. Wish I got the revolution monolithic and am hoping they do a watch with Christian van der klaauw. They do have their line of mall shop looking watches but overall it's a good "value" brand especially at discount.

Here’s a video about FC and a recent model:

FC is owned by Citizen and to my knowledge is good quality and good value. I have handled a few references and they seemed like very nice pieces.

FC has the high frequency silicon escapement technology which is really cool. I hear it buzzes a bit because of the high frequency oscillations.

I do think they need to cover that up or just use exhibition casebacks to reveal the mechanism because in the models I've seen, it's shown in the front, and it's not a pretty movement.

Some of their models look really nice though I have never seen one in person.

They are nice watches for the money. In-house and hand alot of great movements. Don’t have one yet but I will

with a signature like the one you have.. what is the appeal?
It seems as many if their designs are derivative of higher end brands. No doubt they do a great job.

What models appeal to you?
