A spectacular collection where the Tourbillon is in the spotlight. One of the complexities of the collection, lies in the fact that we had to totally rethink the watch in order to move the Tourbillon from its original position at 6 o’clock to the center of the watch.

The beautiful central Tourbillon is housed in the new Curvex™️ CX case where the sapphire crystal extends all the way to the bracelet providing a stunning visibility on the Tourbillon.

In addition to this attractive and surprising decentering, Franck Muller designers and watchmakers had to find an innovative system to display the time in the center of the watch.

Thus, they found an innovative way to place the hour and second hands around the Tourbillon cage, highlighting the beauty of the piece.

Extremely rare for a Franck Muller Tourbillon collection, the watch holds a self-winding movement, thanks to an eccentric micro rotor, offering 4 days of power reserve.

It also gives full visibility to the dial by limiting the amount of material used on the sides which is technically very difficult to achieve and giving the case a new modern line of life.
