Franck Muller Retailer

Founded in 1992 by master watchmaker Franck Muller and watchmaking specialist and entrepreneur Vartan Sirmakes, the House of Franck Muller is one of the most acclaimed independent watch companies in contemporary watchmaking. An award-winning brand, Franck Muller is known for its highly exclusive technical complications, many of which are proprietary innovations, produced in-house within its Manufacture in Genthod, Geneva, endearingly known as Watchland. With more than 50 world premieres and patents, Franck Muller has been dazzling the world with creations that have been received with great enthusiasm by watch connoisseurs and celebrities alike throughout the world, and designs that represent major technical advances in the history of haute horlogerie.

Making Waves Since 1992

The eponymous founder and former CEO of the brand, Franck Muller, graduated from the Ecole d’Horlogerie de Genève or Watchmaking School Of Geneva. Word of his technical expertise and talent spread far and wide as more and more auction houses as well as collectors sent their watches to him for restoration. In 1983, Franck Muller presented the world with his first timepieces.

Since then, Franck Muller has stunned and delighted many with his creations, such as the Franck Muller Aeternitas Mega – the most complicated watch ever made. Now in its fifth iteration, the Aeternitas Mega 4 was crafted with over 36 distinct complications and comprises almost 1,500 components. The brand is also famous for its Giga Tourbillon Watch, which houses the world’s largest tourbillon watch. Last but not least, is the tonneau or barrel-shaped Franck Muller Vanguard series that is all about sporty but innovative aesthetics.

Forward-looking Haute Horlogerie

The Franck Muller brand is about a hundred years younger than the average Swiss luxury watch brand. Its relative youth means the brand is quick to adapt its finely crafted timepieces and position them in time for the latest trends. This characterises Franck Muller as perhaps the most forward-looking luxury watchmaker.

From unconventional designs that have exploded in popularity, such as Franck Muller’s Crazy Hours collection, to diamond-studded reinterpretations of classics like the Curvex CX, Franck Muller watches are not for those who are afraid to look different.

In 2019, Franck Muller announced the release of the world’s first functional Bitcoin watch, the Vanguard Encrypto. Featuring a Bitcoin logo on its dial and launched in partnership with a cryptocurrency trading platform, the watch even comes with a secure USB stick to store your security key for accessing your Bitcoin wallet.
