Watch Winner Report: Frederique Constant Classics 315
Below you'll find a watch winner report from Caroline H., who was one of three lucky winners in the December 2012 watches-dealer Frederique Constant trip and watches giveaway. She was one of the second prize winners who received her own Frederique Constant watch of choice. Below you'll see her thoughts on her new Frederique Constant Classics 315 timepiece. Thanks to her and everyone else who participates in the monthly giveaways."Looking at FC's extensive collection and trying to choose one or two watches was extremely difficult! I wanted a woman's automatic, but I also wanted some complication or special display that I wasn't likely to acquire any other way (at least until I won another contest at watches-dealer). In short, I could hardly wait to see which of my four very different watch choices Fr��d��rique Constant would select for me.
