Franck Muller has always been known as the “master of complicated watchmaking”. The brand excels at combining complex functions with original designs, with every detail embodying the essence of watchmaking aesthetics. Earlier, at the 2023 “World’s Top Watch Exhibition”, the brand released new watch creations, including two latest masterpieces: the Grand Central Tourbillon Flash and the Vanguard Slim Skeleton watches.
Grand Central Tourbillon Flash
The design inspiration comes from the future automotive world, with a minimalist design that showcases a spirit of bold breakthroughs. The matte black brass dial and eye-catching hour markers undoubtedly become the highlights of the style. With modern watchmaking technology and over a year of arduous research and development, the brand has moved the tourbillon from the 6 o’clock position to the focal point in the center of the dial. The hour and minute hands ingeniously revolve around the central tourbillon frame, showcasing the clever and complex “stacking” technique that makes the precise internal movement even more fascinating.
The carbon case of the Cintrée Curvex CX is separated from the black titanium bezel, adding depth through dual-tone processing and highlighting the beauty of the watch’s curved design. The watch is available in three vibrant colors: sparkling orange, fluorescent green, and iron blue.
Vanguard Slim Skeleton
The new Vanguard Slim Skeleton ultra-thin watch features a hollow design, with smooth and clean lines that highlight the contours of its sleek curved case. It is equipped with a hollow automatic winding movement, with a thickness of only 4.3 millimeters, presenting the avant-garde charm of the Vanguard series in a new style. The hollow movement is surrounded by soft lines, forming a sharp contrast with the sturdy and rugged case of the Vanguard series. To balance the profile of the hollow movement, the watch retains the iconic hour markers design of the Vanguard series with high recognition.
The watch is available in two colors, rose gold and platinum, as well as options with and without diamonds (rose gold). The distinct profile of the watch case and the alligator leather strap create a seamless and perfect curved shape.
