Franck Muller Watches Are A Design Inspiration

By Sakuragicho

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

The first collection of Franck Muller watches was created in 1984 when he designed the Tourbillion wristwatch.

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.

The Curvex Tonneau is another timepiece in the signature collection of Franck Muller watches.

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 continues to bring innovation to the watch world with his World Premiers collection that is released each year.

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.

Thinking about adding a watch that will get you noticed by all, then there is only one choice, a timepiece from the Master of Complications, Franck Muller. - 15252
