Ah, I still fondly remember when I first learned about Frederique Constant. The idea that you could get champagne-level watches at beer prices was simply entrancing. In fact, that’s what a lot of the crowd-funded watches try to position themselves as. However, with Frederique Constant, my experience has been that the products usually match to the marketing hype. Today, we’re taking a look at the first GMT from the brand that I’ve had cross my desk, the Frederique Constant Runabout GMT.
The rest of the Archimede Pilot 42 GMT is standard fare, in terms of the case, handset, and dial. Well, ok, the dial isn’t exactly the same as other Fliegers.

It was not all that long ago (see here) that I fell pretty hard for the Alpina Alpiner 4. It was my first time going hands-on with the brand, and I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw there. Well, if you know me, you know I like GMT complications. I’ve been starting to focus in a little more closely on those watches lately, and I saw Alpina had a few in the mix. Put two and two together, and you’ve got our review today of the Alpina GMT 4 Business Hours.
