Frederique Constant's stock in trade has always been affordable luxury, and while over the last decade the overwhelming majority of luxury watch brands have incrementally increased pricing to the point where may potential clients for fine watchmaking have simply been largely priced out of the game, Frederique Constant has kept

Didn't know they existed? Well now you do, and you can find it in the HODINKEE Shop. 1940s Jaeger-LeCoultre Triple Calendar In Stainless Steel 1 OF 4 When one thinks of the 1940s, one thinks of two things – the triple calendar complication, and the tear-drop lug shape.
