With outgoing personality, frequent environment change job, dress watch never attract my attention over the years.
Lately, the banner ad of
Frederique Constant on this
Malaysia Watch Forum homepage caught my attention, these few words especially led me to click on the banner to link me to FC homepage to find out more : -
Manufacture - Silicium - Genevebut
why? FC never give us the perception of high positioning of its product over the years, i often remember its popular open heart watches, so when i read the words of Geneve, Manufacture & Silicium, all these words only link to super high end swiss brand, i was thinking to browse and google to know more of its manufacture line
