Experience the mesmerizing precision and complexity of this timepiece. The extraordinary three-axis tourbillon orchestrates a symphony of time, rotating through cycles of one hour, eight minutes, and 60 seconds across its three cages.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Power flows from the gear train through all three carriages to activate the balance wheel five times each second. As the Revolution 3 has three carriages, the gear train has significant resistance to overcome. So as to provide an abundance of energy to drive this triple axis tourbillon, the movement was given a massive 10 days of power reserve. Furthermore, there are two retrograde indications at 4 and 8 o’clock for the progression of the 8-minute carriage and the 60-second carriage.

Featuring a breathtaking skeleton movement, this timepiece stylishly reveals openworked bridges and multi-colored indicators that allow to observe one of the most beautiful mechanisms in the entire Horlogerie. Encased within the iconic Vanguard™ case, this timepiece boasts a striking three-axis tourbillon, magnified under a sapphire crystal dome.

Entirely set by hand with baguette-cut stones, the Vanguard™ Revolution 3 Skeleton Rainbow case and crown together hold an impressive total of 28.4 carats. Adding further to its luxurious detailing, the watch's buckle is also handset with 1.87 carats baguette-cut gems, showcasing the same meticulous mastery of invisible setting technique.

This technique aims to eliminate any visible prongs or claws, creating a seamless surface that enhances the gemstones' radiant sparkle.

The vivid rainbow color palette employed here is not only a technical achievement but also a visual spectacle, reflecting the exceptional craftsmanship that requires years of dedicated training. The tremendous work accomplished on the rainbow color palette is outstanding and offers an exceptional sparkle to the timepiece. Each individual gem is precisely positioned, contributing to the timepiece’s overall brilliance and allure. This immense effort showcases outstanding mastery in jewelry setting, offering an extraordinary sparkle that elevates the entire design.

This triple axis tourbillon corrects the force of gravity in all positions, unlike a classic tourbillon which only compensates when the wristwatch is in a vertical position. This complex system of carriages is a technical marvel and is the result of one of the most complex creations in Haute Horlogerie.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  Wholly designed and manufactured in-house, the futuristic design of the Vanguard™ Revolution 3 Skeleton Rainbow is a mechanical treasure showcasing the exceptional knowledge of the Franck Muller manufacture.

Franck Muller is proud to unveil its new masterpiece, the Giga Tourbillon Vienne.

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.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

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.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

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. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

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.

On the back of each unique timepiece, a captivating view unfolds, with vibrant colors and patterns inspired by Viennese fabrics, parquet floors and gardens. This enchanting interplay introduces a whimsical touch reminiscent of the fantasy and coquetry of the nobility of that era.
