Details

The Glamour Of The Cintrée Curvex

The Casablanca collection remains the definitive silhouette of the Franck Muller brand, drawing inspiration from the golden age of 1920s travel and Art Deco elegance. This reference 2852 is executed in a stainless steel Cintrée Curvex case, a design that famously curves in three dimensions to follow the natural anatomy of the wrist. It represents a period in the early 2000s when Franck Muller redefined the tonneau shape for a modern audience, creating a watch that is as much a piece of ergonomic sculpture as it is a high-grade timepiece.

High Contrast And Bold Geometry

This specific configuration is defined by its striking black dial featuring the iconic oversized "exploding" numerals in a rich red-gold tone. The layout is anchored by blued-steel leaf hands that provide a sophisticated flash of color against the matte dark surface. The 31x43mm proportions offer a classic mid-sized presence, making it a versatile choice that captures the bold, experimental spirit that made the brand a titan of neo-vintage independent watchmaking.

Very Good Condition With Pristine Surfaces

The condition is very good overall. This stainless steel case and integrated bracelet have been exceptionally well-preserved, showing strong definition and a clean polished finish. The black dial is perfect, showing no signs of aging or degradation to the complex printing of the numerals. The sapphire crystal is likewise in perfect condition, providing a clear view of the Art Deco dial architecture. The bracelet remains structurally sound and presents in very good form. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

A Modern Art Deco Icon

The Casablanca 2852 is a watch for the collector who values a distinctive design language that stands completely apart from the traditional round watch. It bridges the gap between the heritage of early twentieth-century luxury and the avant-garde energy of the 2000s. With its curved case and high-contrast dial, it remains a confident statement of personal style and horological history. It is a piece that continues to make sense today as a comfortable, reliable, and visually arresting daily companion.
