Although the Franck Muller story does not date back centuries, it is an interesting one none the less defined by shaking up the watch world with a bold design and highly complicated watches. Franck Muller came together with Vartan Sirmakes, his lead designer, in 1991 to produce a revolutionary case shape for his watches. This particular case was shaped by adding a third dimension, creating a first in the watch world. Today, Franck Muller calls itself the “Master of Complications,” having developed exceptional pieces as the Crazy Hours and the highly complicated Aaeternitas Mega, boasting 36 complications and 1,483 different components.Overhaul is recommended at the buyer’s expense. Long-term precision and regularity cannot be guaranteed. Size and weight may deviate from the manufacturer’s indication. All watches are hand-measured and weighed.
