In 2025, the Tonda PF Minute Rattrapante is reinterpreted with an Arctic Rose dial. Across pale rose and crystalline reflections, the hue shifts with light, revealing a subtle and ever-changing palette.
This chromatic choice belongs to a broader story. In the eighteenth century, rose was a colour worn by men, a symbol of refinement and distinction. It was only in the second half of the twentieth century that it became associated with the feminine. To reintroduce this shade into masculine watchmaking today is to reconnect with a forgotten tradition and affirm an aesthetic freed from convention.
Arctic Rose becomes the language of a confident elegance, intimate, contemporary and surprisingly versatile.
It all began with the Mystery. During a business trip, Franck Muller, Co-Founder of the brand, experienced a profound cross-cultural encounter that left a lasting impression. Inspired by the fluid and unbound perception of time in certain cultures – where time is embraced at one’s own pace and on one’s own terms – he sought to capture this essence in a timepiece. This fascination led to the creation of the Mystery watch, an elegant tribute to the freedom and mystique of time itself, where traditional hands were replaced by a single rotating disc displaying only the hour.
