To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the famous Italian comics Diabolik, Franck Muller and Ronchi Gioielli collaborated on a special edition limited to 25 exceptional timepieces.

Created in 1962 by Angela and Luciana Giussani, two sisters, Diabolik is a well-known comic book in Italy. Diabolik is one of the best-selling comics in the world, with 150 million volumes sold. After a first movie adaptation in 2021, Diabolik II has been launched this month, November 2022, to celebrate the comic book’s 60th Anniversary.

The aesthetic of the timepiece fits in perfectly with Diabolik’s character and his mysterious spirit with his mask designed on the dial of a Cintrée Curvex™, the emblematic watch shape of Franck Muller.

The design of the timepiece shows a black PVD case and a black paint lacquered dial in order to highlight Diabolik’s gaze. The symbolism of Diabolik’s colour, the rosso vivo lettering, is represented on the hands.

The timepiece is also a tribute to Enzo Facciolo – designer of Diabolik – who died in 2021. The Cintrée Curvex™ Diabolik Limited Edition is produced in a limited series, one of which is offered to the designer’s nephew.

The idea was born thanks to the acquaintance of one of the designer’s nephews, as well as the cooperation with Ronchi Gioielli.

Ronchi Gioielli was founded in Milano about a century ago and has been an official Franck Muller dealer for several years.

The timepiece is also a tribute to Enzo Facciolo – designer of Diabolik – who died in 2021. The Cintrée Curvex™ Diabolik Limited Edition is produced in a limited series, one of which is offered to the designer’s nephew.

Franck Muller is the exclusive watch sponsor of the Colorado Grand, the world famous vintage car rally. In tribute to the 33rd edition of this event, the prestigious Swiss Maison has created four exclusive models limited to 33 pieces.

The Colorado Grand is an annual charity tour taking place early September. 100 of the world’s finest and rarest cars, their drivers and crew meet in Vail Colorado for 1000 miles of driving over four days.

The Franck Muller Colorado Grand series pays tribute to the many amazing car enthusiasts that will travel together again in harmony with the Colorado Rockies. Inspired by automotive art, these timepieces blend simplicity and sporting elegance.

Each of the four timepieces represents an emblematic car: pine green for the Bentley; fire red for the Ferrari; “French blue” for the Bugatti; and stunning silver for the Mercedes. Furthermore, these watches feature the famous Vanguard shape in its slim version and a gorgeous movement manufactured in-house.

Inspired by the automotive industry, the “bochonné” decoration is beautifully reproduced in the center of the watch dial. Also, the seconds counter perfectly mimics an old-fashioned car speedometer with its similar typography, hand design and “assuré circulaire” decoration.

In collaboration with Bamford Watch Department, Franck Muller has created a limited edition Popeye inspired Vanguard watch series.

Comprising of 60-piece Black Titanium and 25-piece Rose Gold limited watches, this series pays tribute to Popeye, the iconic, spinach-eating sailor is known for his adventures.

The Franck Muller Vanguard has a captivating shape with clean and innovative aesthetics. Collaborating with Bamford Watch Department and featuring Popeye on the dial with Popeye’s distinctively muscled forearms as the hours and minutes hands, the aesthetics become even stronger. In addition, Swee’Pea crawls around the dial as the seconds hand.

The styling and attention to detail is evident throughout this piece and tells a true collaboration story between Bamford Watch Department and Franck Muller. Included in the unique packaging is an original comic strip which tells the tale of Popeye’s travels to London and Geneva, exclusively created to celebrate the collaboration by cartoonist, Randy Millholland.

Both the black titanium and rose gold cases compliment the Popeye figure on the dial with the distinctive applique numerals which have been meticulously hand-polished and hand-brushed, coordinating and giving a flowing colour effect to the entire watch.

The strap is cleverly integrated inside the case in order to maintain and extend the curved aspect of the timepiece, the result being a stunning and sporty wristwatch with a particularly unique design.

Popeye is owned by King Feature Syndicate, a unit of Hearst and home to some of the world’s most popular entertainment characters.

An underdog with bulging forearms, a mean uppercut and a love of canned spinach, Popeye always fights for what’s right. Unassuming, unsophisticated, and undeterred by a challenge, he is one of the most recognizable pop-culture icons in the world. Popeye has reached iconic status within the fashion world as well.

The Franck Muller x BWD Popeye Vanguard launch is the latest in a line of high-profile partnerships this year including ICEBERG, NOAH, Intimissimi Uomo, Moncler and Von Dutch. A clean-ocean advocate, Popeye also represents The SeaCleaners, an organization that focuses on long-term and worldwide preservation of the ocean.

These Franck Muller x BWD Popeye Vanguard watches are available exclusively online from Bamford Watch Department and at select Franck Muller stockists around the world.

The year 2022 marks The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Seventy years of reign, the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee. For this occasion and after submitting the designs to Buckingham Palace, Franck Muller is presenting an exceptional limited edition applying its fine watchmaking talents.

Featuring the colours and emblems of Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II, all in its famous Vanguard case, the collection highlights inestimable values: history and incredible know-how.

To celebrate The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee 2022, Franck Muller presents three very special collections in honour of Her Majesty.

Each collection will consist of 70 timepieces bearing the serial numbers of each year of her reign, from 1952 to 2022. The limited edition features collections designed in search of a perfect fusion of technology and beauty.

The first version dedicated for the ladies is inspired by the historic milestone of the Platinum Jubilee emblem and Her Majesty’s royal cypher at 6 o’clock. The second lady collection is in hand-setting diamonds.

The third version, the men’s collection, is decorated with the colours of the Union Jack flag and the Queen’s cypher placed at 12 o’clock.

On the back, the Platinum Jubilee emblem is engraved along with the serial number indicating a year of her reign. The raised numerals are painted and applied by hand on each dial.

In reference to the Platinum Jubilee, the crown of the watches will be made of this material and Franck Muller has made unique straps with colours matching this event and the United Kingdom.

To mark the occasion, each watch will be delivered with a special limited edition box.

Franck Muller celebrates its 30th Anniversary with the iconic Crazy Hours complication. The new timepiece combines iconic symbols such as the famous color dreams numerals, hologram numbers on the dial and the Crazy Hours complication.

Featured in its perfectly curved Cintrée Curvex™ case, being the brand’s most distinctive silhouette, the Crazy Hours 30th is flawlessly offering emotions to the owner though its clever and complex mechanism and beautiful dial.

The Crazy Hours, the most emblematic Franck Muller timepiece, features a wonderful mechanical movement that allows the hour hand to cleverly jump from one hour to the next in the correct order. Thus, to read the time, simply take note of the number indicated by the hour hand, while the minutes hand follows a traditional 60-minute cycle.

The Crazy Hours 30th Anniversary presents a new redesigned dial where the hour numbers are off-centered, resulting in a complete work of art.

The stamped guilloché with sun pattern and hologram numbers marks Franck Muller anniversary with the number thirty hand-set with 20 brilliant-cut diamonds.

Available in different sizes such as the 5850, 7880 or 8880, the dial will also be colorful with the emblematic hand-painted color dreams numbers, the royal blue dial or the deep burgundy dial.

Swiss luxury watch brand Franck Muller celebrates the 115^th anniversary of the Sporting Clube de Portugal with an exclusive collection of 21 pieces. This limited edition pays homage to the Sporting, showcasing the color of the Club and key dates subtly placed on the dial.

This automatic timepiece belongs to the Franck Muller Remember collection. A perfect collection for an anniversary celebration, presenting the hour figures in the opposite clockwise direction.

Thanks to an ingenious self winding mechanism, the hour, minute and second hands will follow an unconventional rotation, making a circle in a “counter clockwise” direction.

This Sporting Limited Edition was crafted for the very first time in a green gold case, and showcases green numerals on its dial as well as the logo of the Sporting Clube de Portugal on the back of the case.

To celebrate the 115th anniversary of the club, symbolic dates and numbers were subtly placed on the dial in hologram: 1906 the foundation year of Sporting Clube de Portugal, 39 the number of European cups won, 23 as the number of national football championships won, 54 the number of sports disciplines and 146 the number of Olympic athletes.

Swiss luxury watch brand Franck Muller has unveiled a new summer edition dedicated to the mythic island of the Cyclades: Mykonos.

This exclusive limited edition is comprised of 16 watches in brushed rose gold and 21 watches in brushed titanium, sold exclusively in Franck Muller Athens and Mykonos boutiques.

The dial of these Vanguard series watches has been worked in different types of blue, specially developed for this limited edition and never used before in Franck Muller collections.

Hand painted in white enamel, surrounded by a rose gold border, the island has been delicately placed on a blue Guilloché dial, evoking the waves.

The city of Mykonos, were Franck Muller has its boutique, is denoted by a red dot on the island. The other part of the dial has been worked in different style, with a darker shade of blue, on a sun-brushed dial, evoking the deep blue ocean.

Inspired by motor racing, the new USA limited edition Vanguard™ Racing Skeleton Bill Auberlen from Franck Muller uses an elegant skeletonised movement turned reminiscent of an engine that you can admire through the open back.

The Franck Muller Vanguard™ Racing Skeleton Bill Auberlen watch is available in 18-carat rose gold, carbon and Macro molecular Technologie Bleu.

The rubber on the inside of the strap effortlessly conforms to the shape of the wrist, combining comfort and aesthetics, while the Alcantara-like suede is reminiscent of a sports car interior. The strap is subtly integrated into the case with two invisible screws, instead of the usual spring bar technique. The central seconds counter, thanks to a smoked sapphire crystal, ensures a precise display while allowing great visibility of the movement.

A true ambassador of motor sport, Bill Auberlen shares the same values of performance and perfection as Franck Muller. To date, he has won 63 races and is officially the most successful sports car driver in North American history.

For this US limited Edition, the seconds indications start from the bottom and not from the top as on a car counter, allowing the seconds to be read at both ends of the hand. To further accentuate the skeletonised design, the date numerals have also been fully skeletonised.

Macro molecular Technologie Bleu is an innovative material made from high purity metals and exotic elements that have been deconstructed to the macromolecular level. The material is very stable and will hold the finest detail including threads.

The colours and patterns run completely through the material and the finished product is beautiful, lightweight, very strong, and comfortable to wear and touch and will last for many generations.

Designed with features that recall the motorsport engines, the automatic movement and the frame structure of the Franck Muller Vanguard Racing Skeleton watch have been significantly lightened. In this dynamic, technical materials such as carbon fiber, titanium and aluminum have been chosen.

The Vanguard Racing Skeleton features hours, minutes, seconds and date. The central seconds counter, thanks to a smoked sapphire glass, provides an accurate display while allowing great visibility of the movement. The second’s indications start from the bottom instead of the top as in an automobile rev counter, allowing the owner to read the seconds from both ends of the hand.

The white hand with red tip and the bicolor second indications further reinforce the idea of a rev counter, making you want to push the hand into the red zone. To further accentuate the skeleton design, the date numbers have also been fully skeletonized.

The strap is subtly integrated into the case with the help of two unseen screws, instead of the regular spring-bar technique. The rubber inside the strap effortlessly takes the shape of the wrist, combining comfort and aesthetics, while the Alcantara® suede reminds the covering of a sports car cockpit.

Both elegant and sporty, the Franck Muller Vanguard™ Racing Skeleton line is available in 18k rose gold, stainless steel, titanium and carbon.

Franck Muller presents Galet Moonphase, a mesmerising timepiece boasting the poetic lunar complication at 6 o’clock of its scrupulously decorated guilloché dial. The watch is available in men and women sizes.

Galet means “pebble” in French, and recall the shape of the watch with its gentle angles, formed by the long-term erosive action of swirling and tumbling against each other in flowing water. It evokes nature as a smooth flow rounded by the action of water. The Moonphase on the dial further emphasizes the notion of purity and simplicity, evoking calm and well-being.

The Franck Muller Galet Moonphase watch showcases Roman or Arabic numerals on a guilloché or full diamond dial. The height of sophistication, the case is available in one row of diamonds or full diamonds.

The Franck Muller Master Banker watch has been created for entrepreneurs who are constantly on the move. It indicates three different time zones adjustable from the same crown.

This year, Franck Muller updates this collection with the new Cintrée Curvex Master Banker Asia Exclusive—a regional exclusive showcasing the signature three-time zone complication housed within Franck Muller’s iconic case. With a new profile, this timepiece sets forward Franck Muller’s technical ingenuity once more.

The Cintrée Curvex Master Banker Asia Exclusive watch flaunts a beautiful brushed sunray finish dial underneath its domed sapphire crystal, and its iconic case is available in a choice of 18k rose gold, stainless steel, or hand-polished blackened steel.

This timepiece is available in seven vibrant colour combinations, with a choice of two sizes—36.00mm x 50.40mm (Ref. 7880) and 39.60mm x 55.40mm (Ref. 8880).

The watch houses the MVD 2800-MBSC automatic movement, which has been designed from the ground up and thus required several years of development. The local time is told by the central hour, minute and seconds hands, while the aperture at eight o’clock reveals the date synchronised to the local time. Two sub dials at twelve and six o’clock represent the actual times in the second and third time zones.

The Franck Muller Vanguard™ Line Cut is made entirely from grade 5 titanium. All the elements of the timepiece, including the case, dial, bracelet and crown are made of micro-blasted titanium for perfect unity.

The lightness of the titanium and the continuity of the curve between the case and the bracelet specially designed for this collection, give this piece wearing comfort.

This new design reveals an aesthetic that is both discreet and distinctive. The outline of the hand-applied numerals and the black “Line Cut” lines add depth to the dial, while the black insert on the side of the watch underlines the delicate curve of the case, where the thickness has been reduced to its minimum. This timepiece is water resistant up to 30 meters.

For this new collection, Franck Muller watchmakers have specially created an extra-flat automatic movement. This made it possible to reduce the size of the case while preserving the elegant character of the VANGUARD™ collection. The delicacy and refinement of the new “Line Cut” are defined by its precision and high level technical specifications that characterize Franck Muller Genève timepieces.

The Swiss luxury watch manufacture Franck Muller and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Geneva have partnered to create a unique car which reflects the exclusive aura of both fine watchmaking and bespoke luxury car manufacturing.

The ultimate Gran Tourismo for the connoisseur and most powerful Rolls-Royce, Wraith Black Badge, is the natural choice to serve as a face for such unique project. The individual personality of both brands will materialize in a Bespoke Black Badge collection inspired by Franck Muller’s famous “Crazy Hours”. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Geneva has published design sketches which hint towards Wraith “Crazy Numbers”.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Geneva has a legacy in facilitating outstanding projects to personalize customer cars. From the colour selection to unique details, the style of “Wraith Crazy Numbers” will reflect the design of Frank Muller’s iconic Crazy Hours.

The motor car comes in a stunning Velvet Sparkle exterior finish, with a Twin-Coachline motif in Silver/Cobalto Blue pointing towards the «numbers» theme. The interior presents perfect harmony with the main colour Cobalto Blue and refers to the theme with a unique dashboard fascia and embroidered numbers on the rear console. Interior highlight is the Starlight Headliner depicting the “Crazy Hours” watch face. The carefully thought-out details follow the Rolls-Royce traditions and represent a decent sense of personal style.

Production of «Wraith Crazy Numbers» will commence shortly, the actual motor car will be presented in the 4th quarter 2020.

For this exclusive partnership, Franck Muller has selected its most iconoclastic complication, the Crazy Hours™. The collection combines boldness, creativity and poetry with the exceptional Haute Horlogerie know-how of Franck Muller.

To celebrate the masterpiece car, Franck Muller is manufacturing a unique Crazy Hours™ collection inspired by the world of Rolls-Royce. The collection will show Franck Muller numbers in the well-known unconventional order, typical of the Crazy Hours timepieces.

The dial displays the color codes of the car and its sophisticated details that we can found on dashboards and Rolls-Royce seats’. The self-winding mechanical movement offers 42 hours of power reserve.

Thanks to its patented Crazy Hours mechanism, the collection offers a new reading of time. The central hour hand literally jumps from the numerals one to twelve placed atypically on the dial, as such, after every 60 minutes, the hour hand would jump to the next correct number. Meanwhile, the minute hand follows a conventional 60-minute cycle revolving around the dial.

The Vanguard™ Racing Skeleton collection from Franck Muller takes inspiration from the world of automotive competition. It houses a stylish engine-turned skeletonized movement.

Inspired by the motorsport engines, the automatic movement and the frame structure of the Vanguard Racing Skeleton have been significantly lightened. To realize this dynamic timepiece, technical materials such as carbon fiber, titanium and aluminum have been chosen.

The Vanguard Racing Skeleton features hours, minutes, seconds and date. The central seconds counter, thanks to a smoked sapphire glass, provides an accurate display while allowing great visibility of the movement. The seconds indications start from the bottom instead of the top as in an automobile rev counter, allowing the owner to read the seconds from both ends of the hand.
