Franck Muller is proud to unveil the Grand Central Tourbillon Skeleton, an exceptional timepiece that embodies the spirit of innovation and craftsmanship of Franck Muller. This masterpiece is a blend of skill, precision, and dedication, resulting in a watch that transcends mere functionality to become a symbol of unparalleled expertise.
At the heart of its design lies the tourbillon, gracefully positioned at the centre of the timepiece – a revolutionary design choice representing not just a deviation from the norm but a revolution in the aesthetics of watchmaking. The tourbillon, a marvel of mechanical complexity, serves as a precise timekeeper and a bold statement of the Master of Complication’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in watch design.
The soul of the Grand Central Tourbillon Skeleton, revealed through its skeletonised design, where each component is expertly machined to perfection and fits together with demanding precision, is both a technical feat and a visual spectacle.
The skeleton body of the watch, designed entirely from the movement base to the tourbillon cage, is supported by four bridges that create the illusion of suspension. The bridges have been crafted to expose the maximum number of gears, revealing the beauty of the mechanism within and providing visual lightness. This voluminous architecture creates depth in the dial and highlights the exceptional central Tourbillon, accentuated by two-tone treatments. The technical shape of the skeleton is a perfect balance between modernity and classicism, revealing an in-house movement that ensures precise chronometry, and benefits from a 4-day power reserve, a remarkable feat for a skeleton tourbillon.
Designed to enhance the visibility of the tourbillon at the heart of the watch, the case is complemented by a strap that integrates seamlessly into the watch’s design, ensuring comfort and elegance. Housed in the Curvex CX case with our most curved profile to date, the sapphire glass extends to the strap protecting and magnifying the dial, inviting admirers to contemplate the very heart of watchmaking mastery through an extremely curved dome. This reflects Franck Muller’s enduring legacy of innovation in watchmaking.
The Grand Central Tourbillon Skeleton embodies the quintessence of Franck Muller’s innovation. Hand-set with diamonds on the case and the inner bezel, this timepiece is a testament to the exquisite convergence of High Jewellery and Haute Horlogerie.
The Grand Central Tourbillon Skeleton attests to the commitment of the engineers and master watchmakers, who, from design to final assembly, imbue the timepiece with a personal touch of excellence. The Grand Central Tourbillon Skeleton testifies to our dedication to offering watch enthusiasts exceptional technical prowess and timeless elegance.
