The company developed its manufacturing capacity and it has been designing and making its own movements since 2004. The Frederique Constant mission is that of accessible luxury, quality watches at sensible prices

In 2015 Frederique Constant presented their horological smartwatch, which looks like a classical watch, but has sensors to measure sleep patterns and activity parameters such as walking and running. On a single subdial at 6 o’clock, it displays the percentage to which a defined objective has been attained. It connects to a smartphone, and its low power usage gives it a 25-month battery life.
