GRAIL WATCH 2.1: FRANCK MULLER DOUBLE SIDED RATTRAPANTE CHRONOGRAPH “ARABIAN PANDA”

$25,500.00 USD
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. This version is particularly special as the pulsation and tachymeter scales found on the caseback are filled with Super-LumiNova for legibility in the dark, and both dials feature Hindu Arabic numerals.
As for 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.

ADD TO BAG

Business at the Front

Not only does the front dial feature those distinctive Hindu Arabic characters, there's also a gorgeous silver grené to gaze on.

Party at the Back

While you can’t get a glimpse at the new old stock caliber from the back, you get something better — another chronograph. This one has a telemeter, pulsometer and a spiral tachymeter; the latter two scales filled with Super-LumiNova for legibility in all conditions.

Contemporary Case Size

The original Lemania-based chronographs were 36 or 37mm in size. For this special 30th anniversary celebration, we’ve made a minor increase in size to 39mm.

Sporty Pushers

It isn’t just the case dimensions that are perfect, it’s the details. The crown and fluted pushers are in the style of François Borgel, while the scroll-like lugs feature the distinctive screws.
