Franck Muller Watches Stand Out From The Crowd

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 offerings bring together conventional Swiss styling along with a breath of fresh, modern design.

The Tourbillion timepiece was the first creation of Muller, released to the public in 1984.

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.

Another Franck Muller creation of note is the Curvex Tonneau, which is readily recognizable on any wrist.

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.

These watches are well recieved as they are known to possess a feature or technology that is unique to Franck Muller.

Although I am a fan of all Franck Muller watches, my favorite timepiece would be the Crazy Hours model which features a unique watch face that displayes the hours in a manner that is not 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. - 15634
