Luxuriously precise, luxuriously stylish – Gravity wristwatches by Franck Muller
The story of the wristwatch
The story begins in Geneva when two masters of their craft met to share their passion for watchmaking. From the very beginning, Franck Muller and Vartan Sirmakes set themselves the goal of creating exclusive wristwatches with an original design. Franck Muller was the first to come up with the idea of using a tourbillon visible from the front so you can see all of its components. His revolutionary design and subsequently the whole concept was accepted and became the foundation stone for Franck Muller wristwatches. Vartan Sirmakes made no secret of his passion for design, architecture and beautiful items and was thus a clear candidate for the position of co-founder and CEO of the Franck Muller Group.
Unique design
Franck Muller wristwatches are easily recognisable thanks to their shape of their face, with luxurious and beautifully designed numerals. The dials must be perfectly curved to follow the shape, but they must also bear the highest quality engraving and printing and above all, they must be absolutely precise. Passion, precision and innovation are the three basic qualities which enhance the creative genius of wristwatches by Franck Muller. The working watchmaker could be compared to a painter, when it is sometimes necessary to work for 20 hours on one component even if it won’t be visible. It is very important that the beautiful combinations look just as beautiful inside as outside. This level of work is that which gives wristwatches by Franck Muller their identity and endless value.
Inspiring yet complicated – Gravity wristwatches
These wristwatches are designed in such a way that the revolutionary line in wristwatch design - Gravity™ continues in its development through introduction of the new skeletonised version which combines cutting-edge technology with unique heritage. The skeleton of the Gravity’s body captures a view of its massive mechanism, where the bridges and pillars of the traditional tourbillon have been reinvented into an elliptical circle with a diameter of 21.2 mm. This gives the timepiece a three-dimensional aspect. The new Gravity Skeleton is available in a wide range of colours. This allows you to create a wristwatch which is unique and exclusive yet which offers the highest of luxurious Swiss quality.
