Franck Muller Watches
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009The genius watchmaker known as the Master of Complications is Franck Muller from Switzerland.
Muller creations are often considered complex, yet innovative works of art.
His offerings bring together conventional Swiss styling along with a breath of fresh, modern design.
The first collection of Franck Muller watches was created in 1984 when he designed the Tourbillion wristwatch.
Originally used in pocket timepieces, the Tourbillion mechanism helped to compensate for the effects of gravity.
The gravity problem 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.
Along with the Curvex Tonneau and the Tourbillion, Franck Muller has added additional designs to his collection including the Casablanca, Conquistador and the Color Dreams, just to name a few.
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 exist in any other watch.
