Franck Muller Designer Watches Make Perfect Gifts
October 24, 2008
Franck Muller is the famous timepiece creator from Switzerland who is often cited as the Master of Complications.
He is known for creating complex and innovative timepieces.
His offerings bring together conventional Swiss styling along with a breath of fresh, modern design.
The timepieces of Muller first began in 1984 when he introduced the Tourbillion wristwatch to the world.
Originally used in pocket timepieces, the Tourbillion mechanism helped to compensate for the effects of gravity.
The gravity dilema was overcome by placing the escapement within a rotating frame.
Another creation from Muller is the Curvex Tonneau, which features a unique case design that is instantly recognizable.
To compliment the Tonneau and the Tourbillion, Muller has created several signature models including the Chronograph, Crazy Hours and the Master Banker.
Muller is also the force behind the World Premiers collection, introducing new, unique and complex designed timepieces annually.
The key point to the World Premiers collection is that the timepieces released will have features that don’t exsist in any other watch.
My personal favorite timepiece from Franck Muller would be the Long Island Crazy Hours model, which is designed so that the hours on the face of the watch are not arranged chronologically.
Over the years, Franck Muller has offered even more elaborate watches, such as the Grande Sonnerie and the Power Reserve, which are popular all over the world due to their exacting craftsmanship and unique artistry.
If you are considering purchasing a high-end, fashion timepiece, then you need look no further than those offered by the Master of Complications, Franck Muller.
