If you have not yet heard of Franck Muller, he is the man behind the unique and innovative Franck Muller watches, the timepieces of the future. His watch designs are usually complex, modern, and conventional; it is no wonder, therefore, that he is often referred to as the specialist of Complications.
The first Franck Muller line of watches, the Tourbillion wristwatch, debuted in 1984. The Tourbillion, as you know, is a mechanism used in pocket watches to work against gravity. He resolved this issue by having the escapement in the midst of a rotating frame.

Soon after, the Curvex Tonneau emerged on the market; and then, some other watches, such as the Long Island, Casablanca, Chronograph, Color Dreams, and Conquistador Cortex King, followed suit. Every year he comes out with World Premiers, a collection of all-new and traditional timepieces with features that has never yet been seen in any watch.
Other designs by the designer that are worthy of note are the Revolution 2 Tourbillion which holds the difference of being the first watch of its kind to have a Tourbillion revolving on both the vertical axis and the horizontal axis.
The Revolution 3 Tourbillion which has a tiny repeater to indicate the time using musical tones and the Long Island Crazy Hours which can admittedly make you go crazy because the hours are not arranged in normal fashion.
The Color Dreams of the Curvex collection which features separate colors to represent each number, and the Chronograph durableness which tells the time using a 24-H manner, and finally, the Irregular Retrograde Hour which feature moon phases.
Aside from these, there are also the Perpetual Calendar Tourbillion, the Grande Sonnerie, the Retrogrande second, and the Power hold --- all of which are also development waves in the market.
Undoubtedly, Franck Muller watches are something to watch out for!
