Craftsmanship and Franck Muller Watches
October 24, 2008
Franck Muller is the famous timepiece creator from Switzerland who is often cited as the Master of Complications.
He is known for creating complex and innovative timepieces.
His watches synthesize modern and conventional Swiss styles of manufacturing.
The Tourbillion timepiece was the first creation of Muller, released to the public in 1984.
Originally used in pocket timepieces, the Tourbillion mechanism helped to compensate for the effects of gravity.
The gravity dilema was overcome by placing the escapement within a rotating frame.
Another creation from Muller is the Curvex Tonneau, which features a unique case design that is instantly recognizable.
Along with the Curvex Tonneau and the Tourbillion, Franck Muller has added additional designs to his collection including the Casablanca, Conquistador and the Color Dreams, just to name a few.
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.
Muller has designed more fantastic timepieces, including the Perpetual Calendar Tourbillion, Retrogrande Second and the Grande Sonnerie, that are known worldwide for their superior artistry and craftsmanship.
If you are considering purchasing a high-end, fashion timepiece, then you need look no further than those offered by the Master of Complications, Franck Muller.
