Franck Muller Grand Central Tourbillon Won Men’s Precious Award

The Franck Muller Grand Central Tourbillon watch won the Fifth Watch Award of the famous Japanese men’s fashion magazine Men’s Precious. The award was presented to Franck Muller by editor-in-chief Miho Moriya at a ceremony in Tokyo.

The Grand Central Tourbillon watch reflects Franck Muller’s profound attainments in the most traditional watchmaking skills. This masterpiece places the tourbillon in the center of the watch, presenting an amazing spectacle.

The complication of this collection is that the watchmaker had to completely reimagine the watch in order to move the tourbillon from the conventional 6 o’clock position to the center of the watch. Along with this striking and surprising offset layout, Franck Muller designers and watchmakers had to invent innovative systems to display the time in the iconic Curvex-shaped case.

Koichi Namiki, professor of art theory at Toin Yokohama University, said: “Placing it in the center requires great skill, and Franck Muller seems to have accomplished the industry’s first tourbillon in a barrel-shaped case without breaking a sweat. It seems to provide the best stage for it.”

This best replica watches is equipped with a completely in-house automatic movement, equipped with an offset micro-rotor, which can provide a power reserve of 4 days, and shows a pure and balanced design. Purity and balance are the guiding principles of the collection. Franck Muller independently redesigned the Cintrée Curvex™ case, and the contour arc extends from the mirror to the bracelet, highlighting the beauty of the dial.

In order to focus the magnificent view of the tourbillon, the center of the sapphire crystal mirror is domed. The collection is available in different colorways, such as the opulent blue version that accentuates the spectacular dial, and the diamond-set version that enhances the extraordinary timepieces. Through the perspective of the case back, you can appreciate the pure traditional decoration such as Geneva pattern.
