Diabolik
moves in the dark. Agile, silent; he blends into the night. He is a panther with icy eyes, the only part he reveals of himself to the world.

The aesthetic of the timepiece fits in perfectly with Diabolik's character and his mysterious spirit with his mask designed on the dial of a Cintrée Curvex™, the emblematic watch shape of Franck Muller.

The design of the timepiece shows a black PVD case and a black paint lacquered dial in order to highlight Diabolik's gaze. The symbolism of Diabolik's colour, the rosso vivo lettering, is represented on the hands.

The timepiece is also a tribute to Enzo Facciolo - designer of Diabolik - who died in 2021. The Cintrée Curvex™ Diabolik Limited Edition is produced in a limited series, one of which is offered to the designer's nephew.
