The History of Frédérique Constant
Frédérique Constant was established in 1988 by Peter Stas and his wife Aletta Bax, they chose to name the company after the great grandparents of each founder. Interestingly enough, the great grandparents, Frédérique Schreiner and Constant Stas, actually owned a company which produced watch dials in 1904. Ever since the company was founded it has been involved in every single stage of watch production of watches from design to assembly. This is despite the fact that some of the Frédérique Constant watches are not produced in house.
In 2002 Frédérique Constant bought the historic Swiss sports watch company Alpina Watches. Alpina were founded in in 1883 who were only operating in Germany at the time. Frédérique Constant moved the company back to its historic base in Switzerland and relaunched the company worldwide.
