Frederique Constant Classic Moonphase Manufacture Watch Review
Dress watches are a breed of their own, often avoided by bloggers and enthusiasts because of their delicate balance of clean and boring. I often find myself in a suit, so I’m always looking for a solid dress watch to complete the ensemble. One of the more interesting dress watches of the year came from Frederique Constant.
