One Crown, One Movement, Three Unique Time Zones

A game changer in the category of multi-zone watches, Franck Muller’s Master Banker is the first self-winding watch to display three unique time zones entirely configurable via one single crown.

From the Master of Complications comes an audacious creation that reinvents the concept of multi-time zone watches. First unveiled in 1996, Franck Muller’s Master Banker was born from the frustrations of a banker who wanted immediate visibility on three trading time zones. Wanting to offer a watch that would show more than just three separate hour hands, Franck Muller ingeniously devised a timepiece with three independent time displays.

Equipped with their own set of hour and minute hands, all time indications are adjustable through a singular crown. Despite its ease of use and convenient navigation, the movement development process was painstakingly complicated and tedious as it had to be designed from the ground up.

It wasn’t too long ago when bankers all over the world faced a common problem: How do you sync your trades with all the major markets across Asia, Europe and the US?

Inspired by the frustrations of a banker client, Franck Muller decided to address this conundrum by creating the Master Banker, a watch that allows you to set and view three time zones at a single glance.

This year, Franck Muller builds on the Master Banker’s legacy with the new Cintrée Curvex Master Banker Asia Exclusive — a regional exclusive showcasing the signature three-time zone complication housed within Franck Muller’s iconic case. 

With a new profile, this timepiece sets forward Franck Muller’s technical ingenuity once more.

The Cintrée Curvex Master Banker Asia Exclusive’s technical sophistication is matched by its elegance. A horological tool for on-the-go bankers and the discerning jet set, the watch flaunts a beautiful brushed sunray finish dial underneath its domed sapphire crystal, and its iconic case is available in a choice of 18k rose gold, stainless steel, or hand-polished blackened steel.

Offered in seven vibrant colour combinations, with a choice of two sizes —36.00mm x 50.40mm (Ref. 7880) and 39.60mm x 55.40mm (Ref. 8880)—this boardroom-ready wrist statement is primed to make an impression both at home and abroad.

Two decades on, the MVD 2800-MBSC automatic movement’s famed functionality continues to shine. The local time is told by the central hour, minute and seconds hands, while the aperture at eight o’clock reveals the date synchronised to the local time.

Elsewhere, two sub dials at twelve and six o'clock represent the actual times in the second and third time zones.
