he is full of shit. but i agree that FC is not a brand i would buy. I have watches from Gshock to seiko to rolex and even a VC, i respect all of the brands because they have their own identity.
And breitling (my first "luxury" piece). Even with a heavily modified ETA, Breitling has original, bold, in your face dial and cases that have become iconic.
Yeah absolutely, I loooove the Runabout GMT, and I think I love it even more after watching this video. The watch price tag doesn't make the class. Class always comes from within. Always and forever. Affordability and quality distinctions will of course vary and you'll always have people who can afford to spend more than others. I haven't heard any specific negative point regarding this brand from this guy. I mean if he mentioned something specific about the parts, design, quality, sourcing of materials, than I could understand.
They're pretending to Breguet. FACKER! I love FC Classic in affordable gold plating. 50% of the watches made today use some adaptation of ETA movement. FC is an in-house movement adapted from the SW 200 - 1, which evolve from the ETA 2824. I'm a working-class FACKER. You FACKER!!
Archie's watch knowledge basically comes down to brand recognition. The only thing FC has against it is it doesn't have as much history and it's not as overpriced. Otherwise it'd be near the top.
Joshi The Yoshi yeah I mean it doesn't have the years that IWC, VC or Patek does but if an in-house movement watch is all you need withOut the snob appeal, FC is the way to go
Doyle Hargraves if FC and their in house movements are shit for you then I’d love to see what you have in your watch collection, it was good enough to be in mine 😊
Doyle Hargraves, hate to burst your bubble but Frederique Constant has in house movements and their new model FC-760DG4H6 has a beautiful flyback chronograph function with a decorative movement and resembles a Patek Philippe for a fraction of the price. That same model also uses a star wheel instead of a column wheel which results in a VERY smooth button operation for the chronograph function. They make very high quality watches.
This video didnt really age very well, FC is becoming a well respected and known brand , they even developed an insane revolutionary 40hz beat rate inhouse movement. Phirst in the industry!
Well... Frederique Constant is named Frederique Constant because the founder of the company is named... Frederique Constant: was he supposed to change his name?
Actually the name is based on the name of the great grand parents of the founders (frederique schreiner and constant stas). They may not have quantity in their heritage but they do have quality. They have a lot of innovations (e.g. heart beat movement, silicone escape wheel etc.). This guy either has no idea what he's talking about, or hating on anything is just it's thing (maybe he could also find something bad to say about Patek)
He is the type who gets no love and respect from the society so he buys expensive stuff to get validation. UrbanGentry or any gentlemen will never belittle any watch brand unless its DW
So what it comes down to is that you don't like them because they are affordable? Because "normal" people can buy them? I understand in that you are definitely not normal. I own a FC-303 model and after 4 days it is 3 seconds fast. That's pretty damn good for an automatic. It looks like a Patek Philippe 5296R-010 and I am happy with it. The Patek is $24,300 and the FC is $550. Also Frederique Constant is definately different than Vacheron Constantin. I do not thing they were "trying" to gank on the name of Vacheron. Only a watch snob of the highest order would think so...
I've seen a collection first hand worth well over 200k. It was made up of ; Ap, Patek, VC, FP Journe, A. Lange & Sohne, JLC, H Moser, a who's who of heavy hitters. Though I'm a watch enthusiast, it was all so underwhelming. It's somewhat depressing seeing years of salary secluded to a little leather bound box. For a lot of collectors High Horology is a real passion, and I fully support those who embrace their interests. FC isn't top tier, but it's a high quality Swiss Made watch dominating it's price point. No one should ever be ashamed of wearing one because frankly it's a better watch than 90% of people on the street are wearing. I have a FC Classic in my collection and quite honestly it gets more wrist time than pieces worth 10x it's ticket price.
I agree the quality is there for the price on Frederique Constant, but it is a rare new company considering the older watch brands, they are still trying to make a name for themselves, i think they will be alongside the older names for high quality watches, it just takes time!
If the word "dogshit" was part of my vocabulary, I would probably use it to express what I think of this channel. Archie has obviously no clue how much effort, intelligent and creative thinking it takes to offer complicated watches at the price point of Frederique Constant. Peter Stas (founder and CEO) openly admits that his mission is to make high quality watches with complicated movements more affordable - especially for young people. I think there is nothing wrong with that... I will buy the 2019 Toubillon with perpetual calender and put it in my watch box. There is still an empty slot between the AP Royal Oak and the VC Overseas ;-))
It took just very little research to find out that the name 'Frederique Constant' from came the names of the grandfather and the grandmother of the founders.. Furthermore you are taking about the fact that they only have ETA movements, which is wrong as even from the very beginning they had in-house movements and finally, they are very inventive in adapting new technologies to their movements lately. So... The only thing that is 'real' here is the way you presented yourself to the audience. Never have I seen such a distasteful exhibition of one's hateful dark side. Get yourself fixed!
similiar case...Till this moment I've been deciding between Certina and FC but this guy made me go for FC. To be exact opposite of him every way possible :D
FC…”The name Constant actually derives from the great grandparent Constant, happen to found a company produced using watch dials in 1904. Wrist watches are very much found in the founders blood. Peter Stass is still the managing director. They have achieved an incredible amount in such a short time, FC has 2,700 points of sale with over a 100 countries always with a clean tasteful traditional style which in my opinion epitomises the Swiss watch. They have an annual growth rate of 25% doubling in-fact in the last 3 years. They also have quite a size manufacturing facility in Geneva from 2001 they produced their own in house movements. They produced their very first components they over 15 fully. The Worldtimer launched in 2012 and has a very unique mechanism”.
Same here but coupe of Rolex and some other brands in the collection. A particular FC was a dream when I was not able to afford any watch. Got it as well!
Watches are like cars. Remember when Lexus first came out to compete against such brands as BMW, Mercedes-Benz , etc., and within two years they became the number one selling luxury car brand in America. Every brand has a starting point.
This video is completely unnecessary and it‘s creator should delete it because he will surely be perceived as „THE GUY“ who is completely grumpy, disrespectful and not worth at all worth paying attention to!
So, I went from relaxing videos about elegant entry level Swiss watches, to this guy screaming that I want a VC but cannot afford it 🙄 I feel like I bumped in to a drunk man having a tantrum. 😅
Dude do your homework. Constant was his grandfathers name and he was the one into watches first. No he did not pick it outta heat to sound like something. No, they do not make crappy watches. Crappy watchmakers do not have dozens of reviews at Watchfinder stream.
I own several luxury watches. I love FC. It’s beautiful. Also they were the first to manufacture the heart monitor. Cartier prices 2.6k upwards same as FC. Is Archie all about status value by what you wear? I don’t understand his point at all here. Just waffling on.
You sold me on the FC, just purchased the highlife chronograph blue panda limited addition at 25 percent off. That’s £2396 for a Valjoux 7750 movement modified by La Joux-Perret with column-wheel and 60 hrs power reserve. And it comes with leather/rubber/steel bracelets. Thank you, you’re the best salesman ever 😂
Archie I know you probably are not going to answer this simple question but...I'll take a chance. Does the affordability factor apply to all watches except for the Omega "man on the moon"?
I have a Breitling (Modified ETA 2824), Omega (8800 co-axial), and an FC (Sellita). I enjoy all 3 and wear the Breitling and FC equally, and obviously the Omega the most, but between all three the FC is probably the best dollar for dollar. Not overall, but pound-for -pound the FC does a great job, and I enjoy the simplicity and the fact that I can beat the hell out of my dress watch too.
Like my seiko. Which pretend to be a fucking rolex, its fucking shitdog! And my fucking dogshit rolex pretend to be breguet laughting my Fuckinh azz offff!
The progress and innovations FC has been making is astounding! It's philosophy is admirable. All it doesn't have is a 200 year history, but every watch company has to START somewhere. They aren't ever BORN with rich history. Rolex sold watches starting at 40 pounds in their early life. If FC had priced their watches 500% higher, Archie would LOVE em!
FC watches are not as affordable as Timex (which ok for the money). They are purchased by those who have done their homework and want a decent, often hand assembled watch for sometimes less than the price they might otherwise have paid.
Invest in a weight loss diet and a good laundry for your shirts...just bought an FC 306 gold plated.....looks great.....you are the best motivation TO buy an FC.....
im not a big fan of fredrique constant designs, im a young man and i like my sports watches. but it seems like archie has no idea what hes on about with this one many brands use ETA movements Omega tudor Oris (sellita) Breitling they also have in house movements (not that many in breitlings case) FC has 29 in house movements (way more than breitling) and uses 12-micron thick gold plating (this is the same as what rolex use) poor gold watches are usually fused gold that wears off and looks bad over time, gold plating, in this case, is actually a good thing. in regards to the affordablility is a bad thing comment....why... why pay a stupid price for a watch. i love rolex but im not playing their game in order to get one. FC have some of the most affordable tourbillons below 20,000 (some of the most afforable tourbillons in general.) i can only imagine that the only "problem" with them being affordable is that theyre not as exclusive so pompus wankers with their patek arent gonna let you join their hyper luxury dickhead watch club
ROFL!! This guy is actually hilarious! Does this mean that, according to him, Seiko, Citizen and Swatch (all of which are extremely reliable, affordable and good quality watches) are crap? Lol!
This guy actually said my biggest problem with federic constant is it’s affordability? Ok.... so with that train of thought Omega would be considered dog shit as well?! I think NOT! A watch in the range is if $2000- $10,000 is Typically NOT a bad watch. A Timex marlin automatic is a watch that costs approximately $260 with tax and it’s a hell of a watch. Yeah I guess you can find some watch collectors or watch dealers that I have the same opinion as this fellow but in the end of the day they’re hating on the watch that should cost more but doesn’t! And if that’s the company’s mission statement you can’t really bag on them for that!
They are not shit. All of these so called monster brands that have been selling watches for outrageous price have decimated the Luxury Industry. Lets see where the dust settles this year and see how the minted luxury brands stand without and clients. Its the working class that will be driving a market that is settling down to reason where luxury is not defined by $$$
Ripping on Constantin for trying to look like Vacheron-Constantin. Coming from a guy with a huge comb-over, who’s doing all his best to cover it up. Pretending to be someone he’s not. Yeah, I think I’ll get my advice from someone else.
What an absolute waste of time and I only made it halfway through. I was waiting for an explanation on if they aren’t worth what they’re charging for them... what are they worth... what class of watch are they? This doesn’t seem to be about watches at all but merely about 1) his problems with women who want to have the nicest things they can afford and 2) a brand that semi knocked off a much more expensive watch company that almost nobody can afford, both w their product design and advertising... which I would think they would have long ago been sued for if it was actually a legit problem. Very strange video and didn’t help me learn a thing about whether or not the brand was dogshit.
affordable does not mean its dogshit, every watch will tell u the time, even a 2 dollar watch would be more accurate than your fancy mechanical watch.....
tudor now is moving into in house. i guess what he is trying to say is that this FC is TRYING to be high horology but its not. whereas tudor never pretend to be high horology. being hypocrite is what makes this brand is sickening.
reason why he doesn't like the watch: "it's too affordable"
And anything he can't afford is not worth having.
Ever seen the video where he recommends an entry-level brand? The brand he chose: Rolex.
he is full of shit. but i agree that FC is not a brand i would buy. I have watches from Gshock to seiko to rolex and even a VC, i respect all of the brands because they have their own identity.

they also have in house movements (not that many in breitlings case)
FC has 29 in house movements (way more than breitling) and uses 12-micron thick gold plating (this is the same as what rolex use) poor gold watches are usually fused gold that wears off and looks bad over time, gold plating, in this case, is actually a good thing.

And if that’s the company’s mission statement you can’t really bag on them for that!
His teeth look gold plated 😂
"ArchieLuxury is creating Videos - Luxury Goods Content of Quality and Class"
1:24 such class. Quite the sophisticated man to review luxury goods.
This nut is touched I'm sure of it.
has your bird left the cage? Or, did your meds run out and this is the consequences of that...
OMG, this guys needs a good psychologist :D I have fc and very happy with it, FC
Sorry champ, but I'll take Teddy Baldassarre's opinion over yours any day of the week.
Wasted two minutes of my life! The guy is damn irritating.
Fc has some beautiful looking watches with good quality in low price, but I think it’s not worth it in resale or if you want to flip money.
Anyone else get the feeling that this was shot in his moms basement?
They are not shit. All of these so called monster brands that have been selling watches for outrageous price have decimated the Luxury Industry. Lets see where the dust settles this year and see how the minted luxury brands stand without and clients. Its the working class that will be driving a market that is settling down to reason where luxury is not defined by $$$
Ripping on Constantin for trying to look like Vacheron-Constantin. Coming from a guy with a huge comb-over, who’s doing all his best to cover it up. Pretending to be someone he’s not. Yeah, I think I’ll get my advice from someone else.
This is a man who has never felt a woman touch him that he hasn't paid to do it.
I was suffering through several days of constipation before clicking on this video. Not anymore.
What an absolute waste of time and I only made it halfway through. I was waiting for an explanation on if they aren’t worth what they’re charging for them... what are they worth... what class of watch are they? This doesn’t seem to be about watches at all but merely about 1) his problems with women who want to have the nicest things they can afford and 2) a brand that semi knocked off a much more expensive watch company that almost nobody
can afford, both w their product design and advertising... which I would think they would have long ago been sued for if it was actually a legit problem. Very strange video and didn’t help me learn a thing about whether or not the brand was dogshit.
It's so hard to take a person with horns serious.
I still like this guy but…..I have a FC and quite like it. Its elegant looking and you can beat it around whats better than that.
I guess you'll praise Casio when they make a 30K quartz.
The nerve of Peter Constant to use his family name for the company he founded...
They don't even use ETA, it's Sellita.
affordable does not mean its dogshit, every watch will tell u the time, even a 2 dollar watch would be more accurate than your fancy mechanical watch.....
Tudor has everything you just described as "ugly things". Gold plating and ETA. And Tudors are affordable too.
GG WP he likes tudor becuase they are rolex little sibling
tudor now is moving into in house. i guess what he is trying to say is that this FC is TRYING to be high horology but its not. whereas tudor never pretend to be high horology. being hypocrite is what makes this brand is sickening.
Wow. My suggestion:
You should sell your fancy watch, buy a FC and reinvest the rest of the money in your manners and also in a dental treatment.
They're not but your opinion doesn't matter is reality
This guy did zero research on Frederique Constant lol
Please report this channel for the sake of that head and mind!
