FRANCK MULLER

GRAIL WATCH 2: FRANCK MULLER 30TH ANNIVERSARY LIMITED EDITION BOX SET

$100,510.00
Today, Franck Muller might best be known for this Curvex cases and Crazy Hours, but behind the undeniably stylish ‘Franck Muller’ brand is the watchmaker himself — one of the most talented of the 20th century.
In the 1990s, Muller was obsessed with complication, particularly complicated chronographs. Perhaps the most famous of them all are his double sided rattrapante chronograph, an incredibly complicated design which he have returned to glory in this exceptionally limited edition. This ingenious design makes use of the often-overlooked caseback, with a central chronograph hand and several scales such as pulsation and telemetre. In addition to being incredibly cool, it allows for a restrained dial design.
The best thing though is the movement, the FM 7000-CCRDF is new old stock from from Franck Muller’s own archives, a fitting tribute to this legendary and groundbreaking chronograph.
