Franck Muller - 18K White Gold

Details

The Shape Of Independent Watchmaking

Franck Muller built his reputation in the late 80s and early 90s by reintroducing a level of mechanical ambition that the major houses had abandoned. This piece comes from that foundational era, when the brand was at its most influential. The Cintrée Curvex case was more than a design choice, it was a technical statement. Curving a movement to follow the contour of the wrist was a challenge most avoided, but Muller made it his signature. This watch is a pure expression of that vision.

A Study In Texture And Form

This example combines the brand's most recognizable elements into a classic and compelling package. The case is rendered in solid 18k white gold, giving it a cool, substantial presence. Its tonneau shape is contrasted by a traditional silver guilloche dial, a finish that adds texture and catches the light. The oversized, Art Deco-inspired Arabic numerals are pure Franck Muller, ensuring instant legibility and a distinct personality.

Untouched Case, Clean Dial

The 18k white gold case is in great cosmetic condition, presenting as untouched. The silver guilloche dial and the crystal are both clean and free from any scratches or marks. All essential components, including the crown, caseback, dial, and movement, are original to the watch. It is fitted to an aftermarket blue pebble-textured leather strap with its signed 18k white gold buckle. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

Distinctive Form, Classic Execution

This watch is for someone who appreciates the creative spirit of 90s independent watchmaking. The Cintrée Curvex case is one of the most comfortable and distinctive designs of the modern era, and the combination of white gold and a silver dial makes it incredibly versatile. It is a piece of watchmaking history from a pivotal independent brand, executed in a way that remains perfectly suited for today.

History

Franck Muller opened his atelier in Geneva in 1991 with a clear ambition: to create complicated watches at a scale and with a visual confidence that the traditional Swiss establishments had never attempted. The Cintree Curvex — a dramatically curved tonneau case that wraps around the wrist — became the house signature. The Color Dreams and Casablanca Triple Calendar references in our inventory reflect both the brand's decorative extravagance and its genuine commitment to mechanical complexity. Muller watches from the 1990s and 2000s represent a specific moment in haute horlogerie when the rules were being rewritten in real time.
