The Grand Central Tourbillon puts the tourbillon on centre stage, in the middle of an exceptional guilloché dial, and housed in a Cintrée Curvex case completely redesigned for an unprecedented view of the masterpiece within.
The Grand Central Tourbillon is the world’s first centre tourbillon in a tonneau-shaped case. With its tourbillon moved from the traditional 6 o’clock position into the spotlight on the centre of the dial, its hour and minute hands are innovatively placed around the central tourbillon cage, drawing attention to the complexity of the movement within.
Available in four different case materials, with and without diamonds, featuring contrasting leather straps and guilloché or full pavé dials bearing Franck Muller’s signature oversized art deco indices.

Extremely rare for a Franck Muller tourbillon piece, the Grand Central Tourbillon boasts a self-winding movement, thanks to an eccentric micro rotor, offering a generous 4 days of power reserve.
