“The CEO of the relatively new Swiss brand Frederique Constant is hoping to attract younger buyers with creative reimagings of classic designs”
CORROBORATED

One web search mentions him discussing the shift in buying habits driven by young customers, and another web search mentions the brand's philosophy of making high-end watches accessible, which aligns with attracting younger buyers through reimagining classic designs.
