Inspired by the stunning architecture of Vienna, this collection pays tribute to the city’s vibrant cultural heritage and combines art and fine watchmaking to create three exceptional and unique timepieces.

Franck Muller draws its inspiration from Vienna’s iconic architectural landmarks, the Schloss Schönbrunn, St. Stephen’s Cathedral and the Wiener Staatsoper, the emblematic opera house. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  The result is an ode to elegance that combines history, art and fine watchmaking to create three exceptional timepieces. Together, they capture the essence of Vienna’s graceful lines, intricate floral patterns and refined architecture.

Housed in a distinctive Curvex CX case, the emblematic Giga Tourbillon has been fully redesigned and manufactured with a completely new movement, showcasing meticulous attention to details for every component, underlining Franck Muller’s commitment to craftsmanship and exceptional horological technique.

At the heart of each masterpiece lies a breath-taking 20 millimetres tourbillon, raised above a delicately adorned cage that combines finesse and technical sophistication while adding a timeless historic dimension.

In contrast to traditional tourbillons powered by only one or two barrels, the Giga Tourbillon Vienne features four barrels to ensure a sufficient flow of power to the massive 20 millimeters tourbillon. An indicator is also placed at 12 o’clock to display the remaining power reserve.

The Giga Tourbillon Vienne is composed of two dials on the front of the watch. In conjunction with the traditional dial, a second dial is positioned beneath the balance wheel. Meanwhile, a third dial is located at the back of the watch and features an opening allowing visibility of the central wheel and the third wheel. An artistic illustration of the movement is then incorporated on the back dial.

The Giga Tourbillon Vienne presents a collection of three distinctive watches in rose gold, yellow gold and white gold. The rose gold includes warm colors, drawing inspiration from architectural interiors. The yellow gold variant reflects external architectural elements, and the white gold version draws inspiration from painting and spirituality.

The carefully selected colors of the front dials blend with the architectural diversity, with tones such as champagne, white and blue, evoking the richness of decorative wall shades and ceiling frescoes. These three timepieces embody a harmonious blend of art and precision, offering a refined expression of watchmaking and the art of high quality.

Housed for the first time in a Curvex CX case, the iconic Giga Tourbillon has been fully redesigned with a completely new movement. Embracing a breathtaking 20 mm Tourbillon that occupies half of the skeleton dial, the Curvex CX Giga Tourbillon is the perfect translation of a masterpiece.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

For this unique timepiece, all the components were rethought, redesigned and remanufactured to create an exceptional masterpiece. To meet the technical challenges that come with such a large tourbillon, Franck Muller had to demonstrate ingenuity, great expertise and exceptional horological technique.

The tourbillon, the barrels and the power reserve counter are placed above the dial to create a mesmerizing depth effect. In order to lighten the tourbillon cage, materials such as titanium are used to reduce inertia and ensure the reliability of the timepiece.

To highlight all the mechanical elements of the timepiece, the skeletonized movement is placed above a breathtaking dial which allows a clear distinction of the barrels and tourbillon cage. A sunray brushing decoration on the dial brings additional luminosity and reflection to the timepiece, thanks to several layers of lacquer.

In addition to the traditional dial on the front, the Curvex CX Giga Tourbillon also showcases two other dials. The second dial is placed under the balance wheel to highlight the heart of this timepiece: the Giga Tourbillon

The third dial is placed on the back of the timepiece and features an aperture allowing visibility of the central wheel and third wheel. A beautiful artistic drawing of the movement, is then added on the back dial.

This timepiece has been designed with four barrels to ensure sufficient power to drive the geartrain and its massive tourbillon. In comparison, traditional tourbillons generally are powered by only one or two barrels. This results in 4 days of power reserve, visible with a counter placed at 12 o’clock.

The Curvex CX Giga Tourbillon is an incredible testament to the in-house manufacturing capabilities and technical innovations that are at the epicentre of Franck Muller.
