The Grand Central Tourbillon is a spectacular new collection, where the Tourbillon is in the spotlight, placed at the center of the timepiece. One of the complexities of the collection, lies in the fact that we had to totally rethink the watch in order to move the Tourbillon from its original position at 6 o’clock to the center of the watch. In addition, Franck Muller designers and watchmakers had to find an innovative way to place the hour and second hands around the Tourbillon cage, highlighting the beauty of the piece.

 

The triple axis tourbillon of the new Vanguard Revolution 3 Skeleton corrects the force of gravity in all positions. This complex system of carriages is a technical marvel and is the result of one of the most complex creations in Haute Horlogerie. Featuring a breathtaking skeleton movement, this timepiece stylishly reveals openworked bridges that allow to observe one of the most beautiful mechanism in all of Horlogerie.

 

Sailing in a sporty direction with its automobile-inspired lines, the VanguardTM Racing Skeleton calls in for pure and stylish engine-turned aesthetics. With its harmonious contours, flawless finesse and impeccably balanced proportions, the movement has been openworked to brew elegance along its sporty characteristics.

 

With its harmonious contours, flawless finesse and impeccably balanced proportions, the Vanguard Crazy HoursTM Yachting combines boldness and creativity with the exceptional Haute Horlogerie know-how of Franck Muller. An aesthetic at the height of this Crazy Hours complication, that has seduced enthralled horological aficionados for years. With its distinct numerals applied by hand, the Vanguard Crazy HoursTM Yachting ensures a firm grip on the Franck Muller traditions, with a youthful and futuristic aesthetic.

 

The Vanguard Rose Skeleton combines a harmonious design and a smart development. The technicity of the collection resides in the research of making the roses essential for the mechanism with an openwork dial. Here, the flowers are not ornaments placed on the movement, they are cut from the bridges and the bottom plate, connecting the mechanical movements together. They are esthetical decoration essential for the timepiece.

  

The new Cielo collection affirms Franck Muller’s mastery of the watchmaking art in its purest tradition. Purity and sober design are the guiding principles of the collection. The Cielo shows a dial in natural blue Aventurine, a semi-precious stone, with glitter which gives it a sparkling effect. The name of the collection was inspired by the deep blue of Aventurine stone, call to mind the color of the sky at night, whilst the shiny minerals recall the stars.

  

Poetic complication, the moon phase, naturally found its place at 6 o’clock to harmoniously complete the Galet collection. With a self- winding mechanical movement, this mythical and mesmerizing horological complication displays the different cycles of the moon as we see it in the sky, on a guilloché dial. The shape of the design is absolutely unprecedented and pays homage to simplicity, evoking calm and well-being. With its gentle angles, it evokes nature as a smooth flow rounded by the action of water.

 

The Double Mystery Peony highlights the savoir-faire of diamond setting and combines technical innovation and mechanical complication. The collection holds the innovative time display system which has made the Double Mystery so successful: the hands are replaced by two rotating discs each with an arrow-shaped indicator. This invention represents the successful mastering of a technical challenge and was patented in 1998.
