A Symbol of Mystery and Transformation
Crafted from 18k rose gold, the Silhouette CX Snake is captivating and sensuous. The snake, a symbol of fluidity and elegance, serves as the inspiration for this exceptional timepiece marrying innovation, artistry, and glamour. With its asymmetrical curves and undulating design, the Silhouette CX Snake embodies the seductive charm of this year’s enigmatic zodiac creature, offering subtle glimpses of the snake’s silhouette without fully revealing its head or tail.

Guided by the House’s co-founder and master casemaker Vartan Sirmakes, and inspired by the spirit of transformation symbolised by the snake, the new case design is a singular evolution of the Curvex CX, itself a modern reimagining of the Vanguard and the legendary Cintrée Curvex. The Silhouette CX’s entrancing twists and turns mirror the snake’s mesmerising sinuous motion, creating a tactile and visual experience that is both dynamic and elegant in its unconventional shape.

The Asia Pacific exclusive timepiece, limited to only 28 pieces, builds on the success of 2023’s #FR2NCKMULLER Vanguard, which celebrated the Year of the Rabbit with an edgy, provocative dial blending Swiss watchmaking and Japanese street fashion, and 2024’s Cintrée Curvex Ryoko Kaneta Dragon Limited Edition, which featured a contemporary interpretation of the Dragon in chibi anime dragon girls strewn across its dial. The Silhouette CX Snake echoes the ethos of its predecessors – to be more than just another “zodiac watch” by always breaking new ground. In the Snake Year, Franck Muller focuses inward, unveiling a whole new case shape as the centrepiece of this year’s offering.
Unprecedented Craftsmanship and Technical Mastery
Because traditional dimensional control methods cannot be applied during the creation of the Silhouette CX case, every component must be meticulously crafted and assembled using positioning checks derived from detailed 3D files. This painstaking process requires utmost precision, and ensures mechanical strength, water resistance, and flawless functionality even in an asymmetrical case shape.

The dial of the Silhouette CX Snake reflects the striking asymmetry of the case as well, with numerals that are carefully arranged and manipulated to achieve perfect alignment even within an irregular outline. Crafted using 3D CNC machining, the dial merges precision and artistry, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic harmony. Adding another layer of refinement, the dial features a snake motif meticulously handset with deep green emeralds using the intricate snow-setting technique. Delicate emeralds of varying diameters are set closely together, resulting in a unique and dazzling pattern. This enchanting design sees the bejewelled ophidian silhouette slither seamlessly across the sunray-brushed dial, creating a sense of mysterious romance without revealing head or tail. Meanwhile, its pavé-style setting minimises visible prongs and enhances the hypnotic brilliance of the stones.

At the heart of the Silhouette CX Snake beats an in-house movement placed centrally, housed in a specially shaped casing ring customised to fit its asymmetrical case. Indeed, every element—case, bezel, dial, casing ring, and sapphire glass—has been meticulously crafted to align with the watch’s novel design and shape, emphasising the House’s dedication to unparalleled elegance and technical innovation.

The serpentine green strap, made of calf leather embossed with a snakeskin texture, completes the thematic unity of the timepiece, and complements the vivid green of the emeralds. Ergonomically integrated directly into the case, the strap features a rubber underside for added durability and comfort, blending luxury with practicality.
