After pushing the boundaries of mechanical
watchmaking by mammoth proportions, Franck Muller turns to the Art Deco period
for this collection of watches.
Here, the traditional cintree curvex shape that
once defined the brand has been updated with both angularity and geometric
symmetry – hallmarks of Art Deco. After testing the versatility of the cintree
curvex shape with the Mega, the brand returns to its roots and to the roots of
its signature shape.
As seen with classics from the 1920s from
houses as diverse as Vacheron Constantin, Guerin, Hamilton and
Jaeger-LeCoultre, the cintree curvex is very much at home in this style. Dials
are available in black or white, with line, grid or rhombus designs while the
case is in white or rose gold, with optional diamond settings.
Although they
are technically optional, Franck Muller-proprietary Arabic numerals are a must
with this collection for a full Art Deco aesthetic.
