Franck Muller Watches Are A Fashion Favorite

By Sakuragicho

The genius watchmaker known as the Master of Complications is Franck Muller from Switzerland.

He is famous for desiging timepieces that are hallmarks of innovation.

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.

Another creation from Muller is the Curvex Tonneau, which features a unique case design that is instantly recognizable.

To compliment the Tonneau and the Tourbillion, Muller has created several signature models including the Chronograph, Crazy Hours and the Master Banker.

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

Each of these timepieces possesses a feature that existed never before in any watch.

My personal favorite timepiece from Franck Muller would be the Long Island Crazy Hours model, which is designed so that the hours on the face of the watch are not arranged chronologically.

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.

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.
