Pros
- I gotta say, a lot of Frederique Constants are good looking.
- Underrated brand, some really good recent releases
- As for the brand: I know it’s not a high-horology name, but they actually offer solid value for the price point. Their designs are generally well-executed, they use reliable movements, and they tend to give you complications (like moonph...
- The watch you have at hand fits perfectly. A colleague of mine has the silver case one, and it looks great.
- It’s a great watch. If the gold ascetic is important it’s very hard to recommend alternatives in the price range. The brand is new but they’ve been making great stuff for decades very classy and classic designs.
Cons
- I personally think real gold and steel are forever, Gold PVD isn’t and will likely not age well. Since this is a special gift, I would recommend switching to no-PVD version.
- I just don't like the name.. Maybe they can put a logo instead. same grip with frederique constant
- The FC and Junghans are both amazing. The FC in particular, but damn that price is just too high for me personally.
