Watch enthusiasts, gather around! The Franck Muller V45 is making waves in the luxury watch scene, and it’s not hard to see why. With its meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail, this timepiece is a cut above the rest. Let’s dive into what makes this watch a must-have for collectors and aficionados alike.

First on the list, the case. It’s crafted with 316 stainless steel—no cheap plastic molds here! The sandwich structure of the case, especially the black side slots and protruding crown positions, pushes the boundaries of watchmaking. After over ten months of refining the initial prototypes, the result is a case that’s as close to the original as you can get.

Now, let’s talk about the dial. The V45 features authentic enamel baguette numerals, crafted to match the original 1:1 height, with recessed edges and genuine enamel inlays. These meticulous details do add to the complexity of production and keep the quality consistently high. Beneath the dial, you’ll find a magnifying spacer layer, and the date window utilizes a sapphire magnifying glass, ensuring maximum usability with the original timepiece.

Speaking of authenticity, the sandwich structure’s sides are designed to be removable, just like the original, allowing for maximum interchangeability. The diamond-studded buckle on certain versions has been crafted to mirror the original V45’s starry design, making it not only easier to wear but also more in line with the original look. The non-diamond version uses a folding clasp, again staying true to the initial design.

The curved case design sits snugly on the wrist, housing high-frequency 28800 ETA 2824 movement for precise timekeeping and remarkable stability. And let’s not forget the upgraded steel head with a high-end rubber strap that’s more flexible and comfortable. It’s the only version on the market compatible with the original watch straps.

The Franck Muller V45 is not just another luxury watch; it’s an ode to precision, comfort, and unparalleled craftsmanship. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or new to the world of watches, this piece promises to make an impression. Happy watch hunting!
