The Swiss brand Franck Muller, known for its innovative and technically perfect models, presented a total of thirteen new collections.
This showcase of watchmaking art, combining precise Swiss craftsmanship with bold design, attracted the attention of luxury watch lovers from all over the world. From the rich selection, we at BENY have selected four of the most striking models that embody the pinnacle of contemporary watchmaking.
The fair is traditionally held in the surroundings of Geneva's Domaine du Grand Malagny, the historic headquarters where Franck Muller hosts its exclusive events. The majestic atmosphere of this venue provided the perfect backdrop for the presentation of the latest collections that push the boundaries of watchmaking.
Founded in 1991, Franck Muller has earned its place among the elite luxury watchmakers by combining traditional Swiss craftsmanship with bold innovation. Each model from the workshops of this prestigious manufacture tells a story of passion for precision and technical excellence.
The Curvex CX Giga Tourbillon is arguably the most impressive piece presented at WPHH 2023. This luxury men's watch combines the elegant curved case typical of the Curvex collection with a stunning 20mm tourbillon that takes up half of the skeleton dial.
The tourbillon, one of watchmaking's most prestigious complications, was originally developed to eliminate inaccuracies caused by gravity in pocket watches. In Franck Muller's rendition, this technical necessity has been transformed into a breathtaking artistic element.
Franck Mullertourbillon watches represent the true pinnacle of watchmaking and are sought after by the most discerning collectors around the world. Each example is hand-assembled and finished by experienced watchmakers, and a single piece can take several weeks to complete.
Franck Muller once again proves its position as an innovator in the field of men's luxury watches with the introduction of the Vanguard™ New Tone Skeleton. This skeleton watch pushes the boundaries of design by using revolutionary technology inspired by Isaac Newton's theory of the visible parts of the colour spectrum.
Thanks to a high quality metal oxide top layer, referred to as 'spectracoat', and masterful openworked processing, this watch acquires the unique property of changing its hue depending on the angle of view. This technological innovation turns the watch into a living art object that adapts its form to the circumstances and lighting conditions.
This skeleton watch demonstrates Franck Muller' s philosophy of combining technical excellence with artistic expression. The transparent dial and caseback allow you to admire the complex movement of the movement, while the innovative colour technology adds an unexpected dimension to the whole.
Inspired by the world of high-end sports cars, the Curvex CX Flash Grand Central Tourbillon brings a thoroughly modern take on the brand's signature design. This men's luxury watch retains the ergonomic profile of the Franck Muller Curvex CX case, while emphasising modern alloys and materials.
Unlike the brand's traditional models, which are known for their Arabic numerals, the dial of this model features brightly coloured indices, giving it a dynamic, sporty look. The real centre of attention, however, is the large minute tourbillon, which pulses majestically right in the centre of the dial.
This model represents a fusion of traditional watchmaking craftsmanship with a modern design inspired by the automotive industry. The tourbillon watch in this design is not only a precision timekeeper, but also a symbol of sportsmanship and technological maturity.
With the Vanguard™ Damascus Steel, Franck Muller brings an innovative use of traditional damascus steel to modern watchmaking. This men's steel watch represents a technological revolution and a design evolution in one.
Damascus steel, a material with many centuries of history originally used to make knives and swords, is created by precisely forging two different types of steel. The result is a distinctive wave pattern that makes each piece completely unique. In the Franck Muller Vanguard™ Damascus Steel watch, this traditional material is applied not only to the case, but also to the dial numerals and even the strap buckle.
This men's steel watch embodies a combination of traditional craftsmanship, historic materials and modern design. Thanks to the unique damascus steel pattern, each piece produced is absolutely unique - there can never be two identical examples.
In addition to the four main models, Franck Muller also presented a number of other fascinating innovations at WPHH 2023:
The Franck Muller Vanguard collection has established itself as one of the prestigious brand's most successful and sought-after lines. The distinctive features of this collection include:
Models from the Vanguard collection are among the best-selling Franck Muller men's luxury watches and represent the perfect combination of Swiss precision, technical excellence and bold design.
Founded by master watchmaker Franck Muller and businessman Varmin Sassou, the company has risen to become one of the world's elite luxury watch manufacturers in its three decades of existence. Known as the 'Master of Complications', the brand excels in its ability to create technically demanding models with impeccable craftsmanship.
Each Franck Muller watch is made with exceptional care in the manufacture in Genthod, Switzerland, combining traditional watchmaking techniques with innovative processes. The result is timepieces that appeal to the most discerning collectors around the world.
