Hey watch enthusiasts, have you ever heard of a timepiece that makes you stop and stare in awe? Well, Franck Muller has done it again with their latest creation, the Grand Central Tourbillon. What makes this watch truly stand out is its unique ‘central tourbillon’ design, where the slowly rotating tourbillon takes center stage on the dial.
The reimagined Cintrée Curvex case effortlessly combines elegance with innovation. With its slender and flowing lines, the case is crafted from carbon fiber, featuring delicate textures and stripes of black and gray that create a subtle yet striking aesthetic. It’s a design that’s both captivatingly elegant and abstractly unconventional.
The lacquered dial steals the show with its prominent oversized Arabic numeral hour markers and guilloché pattern, which spirals outward to harmonize with the tourbillon’s rotation. Because the tourbillon holds the central spot on the dial, the movement gears have been ingeniously reworked, allowing the hands to seemingly float above the dial, attached delicately around the tourbillon’s edge.
This mechanical marvel houses the in-house FM CX 40T-CTR automatic movement, which beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers an impressive four-day power reserve. It’s paired with a fluoro-rubber tailored nylon strap and a specially designed brushed folding clasp, ensuring both comfort and style.
So, if you’re seeking a watch that’s not just a timekeeper but an art piece to be cherished, the Grand Central Tourbillon might just be the masterpiece you’ve been looking for. What do you think – is this the watch that could redefine elegance?
