Niels, to get to know you a little more, let’s start with some quick-fire questions. Your favourite holiday destination? The south of France or at the chalet, spending time with my family and a glass of red wine.
Your favourite music bands or singers? Lenny Kravitz, The XX, James Vincent McMorrow, Charlie Cunningham.
Your favourite cuisine? Italian.
Automatic or manual-winding watch? Definitely automatic.
Which Frederique Constant watch do you wear most of the time? I would say now: the Highlife Chronograph.
You’ve been in the watchmaking business for two decades. Outside of watches, what are some of your interests or hobbies? I love boating and hiking, as I have a chalet in the mountains. I also like doing a lot of maintenance on my house and garden, being outside and getting some fresh air. So it’s either sport on the water with a boat, hiking in the mountains, or working around the house.
In 10 words, how would you best describe Frederique Constant? A classical yet sport-chic brand, mid-range, luxury finishes, manufacture calibres and extremely innovative. That’s more than 10 words. [Laughs]
