What watch is nicer? Is there any major quality difference between Hamilton and Frederique Constant?

Thanks for the opinions.

On the one hand, the Hamilton is a chrono, which is pretty cool, but on the other hand the FC has the partial skeleton.

I find the "open heartbeat" gimmick to be a bit cheesy to be quite honest.

Brand-wise, I'd normally choose FC since they're one of the few independents left in the watch industry who manufacture some of their own movements without charging an arm and a leg for them.

But choosing between those two, I'd have to go for the Hamilton. It looks good in that "sport classic" sort of way.

But, FC has a nice chronograph of their own if you look at their catalog.

I like the Hamilton. To me, more of a classic.

x4 Its just a cutaway of the dial.

Between those two, I'd go with the Hamilton. FC does make some nice looking watches, though.
