Watches & Wonders 2024

For a week, from April 9 to April 15, 2024, Frederique Constant and Alpina Watches – part of the Frederique Constant Group belonging to the Japanese Citizen Group – participated in the largest international watchmaking fair, Watches and Wonders Geneva.

The event gathered over 49,000 unique visitors throughout the week, including 5,700 retailers, 1,500 journalists, and the general public on the last three days of the fair.

Located, as last year, on La Place, opposite the Carré des Horlogers, Frederique Constant and its sister brand Alpina Watches shared a common booth. A warm and welcoming space for meetings and business discussions, the Frederique Constant and Alpina Watches booth extended over 200m2, allowing guests to discover the latest products from both houses in a friendly atmosphere.

For this second participation in Watches and Wonders Geneva, Frederique Constant and Alpina Watches are pleased to announce that the number of appointments with retailers and the press has increased compared to last year. Furthermore, a product animation at the booth generated significant interest from professionals and the public. The positive feedback and general enthusiasm regarding the new releases from both brands contributed to the success of this week.

The Classic Date Manufacture, available in three dial variations (silver, black, or salmon), houses the new in-house caliber FC-706. The Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture, available in three dial variations (silver, blue, or green), houses the new in-house caliber FC-716. Both these new calibers boast a power reserve of 72 hours and are encased in a 40-millimeter case. The warranty has been extended to five years. The Classics Elegance Luna offers a romantic and poetic moon phase, designed by the daughter of the Manufacture’s Head of R&D, amid a mother-of-pearl dial housed in a 36-millimetre steel case. Four variations are offered, all powered by an automatic movement. All four models feature a jewel-set minute track; two also have a bezel set with jewels, making a total of 96 diamonds.

For the Ibelujo team, it was an opportunity to present the latest products from many of the brands we distribute in Spain and Portugal. Only Frederique Constant was present at the Geneva Palexpo; the rest of the brands were concentrated in the hotels facing Lake Geneva, in the city centre.

The EBEL watch brand presented its new collection at the Hôtel Beau Rivage in Geneva, while Serafino Consoli and Roberto Coin were at the Fairmont Hotel.
