Have you ever seen a watch that leaves you awestruck? Franck Muller has just launched an extraordinary new timepiece, the Grand Central Tourbillon, where the tourbillon takes center stage like a celebrity at a gala.
The watch features a newly redesigned Cintrée Curvex tonneau-shaped case. With its sleek and smooth lines, the case extends the crystal towards the lugs, creating a spacious and open feel to the dial. Made from carbon fiber, it exudes a sophisticated yet abstract charm with its meticulous texture and subtle black and grey stripes.
The dial, with a lacquer finish, is adorned with bold oversized Arabic numerals. As if telling a secret of time, a guilloché pattern spirals outward, echoing the rotation of the tourbillon. With the tourbillon taking center stage on the dial, the watch’s mechanics have been customized, allowing the hands to hover around the edge of the tourbillon, floating elegantly over the face.
Underneath this visual spectacle is the in-house FM CX 40T-CTR automatic movement, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, and providing a robust four-day power reserve. It’s like having a relentless heart that keeps the watch ticking.
Completing the ensemble is a fluoro rubber and tailor-made nylon strap, coupled with a specially designed brushed folding clasp. It’s like the perfect finishing touch to a tuxedo, making the watch ready for any occasion.
All in all, the Grand Central Tourbillon isn’t just a timekeeping device; it’s a masterpiece of craftsmanship. It’s something that makes you rethink what a watch can be. Now, who wouldn’t want that on their wrist?
