Introducing: The Frederique Constant Manufacture Perpetual Calendar, A Full Perpetual Calendar Under
If we had to pick one trend that seems to most characterize Baselworld 2016, it'd probably be the pursuit of better value for consumers – or at least, the attempt to create for consumers the impression that watches can offer better value, relative to the competition. One of the most notable manifestations of this direction was the Manufacture Perpetual Calendar – a full perpetual calendar, developed and made in-house, by Frederique Constant, which will cost under CHF 10,000 at launch.

Most watches were imported from abroad. The Swiss together with the US-based manufacturers were the market leaders.The Swiss brands West End Watch Co. with which Montres Edouard Lauzi¨¨res shares some manufacturing processes was the market leader in those days in India. At their top they sold some 500,000 watches per year into India. Another Swiss brand doing fine there was Schwarz Etienne and of course the venerable Titoni of Switzerland which by the way till this day rules the market in China for Swiss watches.From the USA there was Timex Corp. which later established a factory in the India town o
