Watches By Franck Muller

By Sakuragicho

Franck Muller is the famous timepiece creator from Switzerland who is often cited as the Master of Complications.

Muller creations are often considered complex, yet innovative works of art.

His watches synthesize modern and conventional Swiss styles of manufacturing.

The timepieces of Muller first began in 1984 when he introduced the Tourbillion wristwatch to the world.

The Tourbillion is a mechanism which was originally used in pocket watches to negate the effect of gravity.

By placing the escapement within a rotating frame, the problem of gravity was solved.

The Curvex Tonneau is another timepiece in the signature collection of Franck Muller watches.

Apart from the Tourbillion and the Curvex Tonneau, collection of watches from Frank Muller include: Long Island, Casablanca, chronograph, Color Dreams, and the Conquistador Cortez King.

Muller is also the force behind the World Premiers collection, introducing new, unique and complex designed timepieces annually.

The key point to the World Premiers collection is that the timepieces released will have features that don't exsist in any other watch.

If I had to pick only one Franck Muller watch as a favorite, it would have to be the Long Island Crazy Hours, featuring an interesting and complicated display of time that doesn't appear chronological.

Franck Muller has created many more remarkable models such as: Perpetual Calendar Tourbillion, Grande Sonnerie, Retrogrande second and Power Reserve which is also known for their unrivaled artistry and craftsmanship.

Thinking about adding a watch that will get you noticed by all, then there is only one choice, a timepiece from the Master of Complications, Franck Muller. - 15359
