Welcome to my Top Swiss Wrist Watches Boutique!

Franck-Muller is Swiss luxury watch manufacturer named after its founder.
The company's estimated total sales are about €300 million in watches with an average unit price of €38,000.
Franck-Muller's watches are worn by various celebrities, among them Arnold Schwarzenegger, Elton John, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, David Beckham, Conor McGregor, Bill Clinton and 50 Cent.
Let me quote: "Franck Muller watches are one of the finest and most complicated of the world. The manufacture was founded in Geneva by Franck Muller and Vartan Sirmakes with the aim of creating exclusive timepieces characterised by complicated movements and original designs. Thanks to its strong in-house capabilities in numerous fields of Haute Horlogerie, this young company rapidly became one of the best Swiss horlogerie brands. Today, we believe we succeeded in combining boldness and creativity with exceptional Haute Horlogerie know-how".
In 1991, 33 year old watchmaker Franck Muller went into business with the Geneva casing and gem expert Vartan Sirmakes, a 51 year old Armenian. The company, Technowatch SA, settled in Genthod, near Geneva, in a neo-Gothic mansion that had been built by the famous architect Edmond Fatio at the beginning of the 20th Century.
This partnership was both productive and prosperous, with the watches of Franck Muller setting records and gaining attention throughout the field. In 1992, Muller claimed the title of the “most complicated wristwatch in the world”, and set this again in 1998. The former included a perpetual calendar with retrograde months and equation indication, day of the week, date, 24 days and leap year indicator, moon phase, and a thermometer. This watch later was expanded considerably by Paul Gerber of Zurich.
The Franck Muller Cintrée Curvex is the brand's signature, tonneau-shaped watch, characterized by its highly curved, three-dimensional case. Introduced in 1987, its name means "arched in a curve," and it is a development of the traditional tonneau case with a more complex, multi-axis curvature. The design, which includes a distinctive and often large numeral style, has become a hallmark of the Franck Muller brand and is used across many of its collections.

I apologize in advance for the shadows in my photos; the exquisite and complex shape of the polished 18 Carat gold watch makes it difficult to capture from the ideal angle.

Distinctive design.
Extremely high recognition level.
General professional pre-sale service was made in November 2025: the watch is keeping good time and working perfectly.
Excellent condition, never worn: the wristwatch comes from luxury watch-shop showcase; that's why the strap is replaced with brand new one, alligator grain on cow (leather straps often suffer from temperature in shop windows due to powerful spotlights).
Due to its age, the watch is no longer covered by Franck Muller warranty, but the buyer will get my personal authenticity and quality warranty: a warranty card (as pictured), fully completed, stamped and signed.
Insured, registered shipping worldwide with DHL Express: it’s not cheap, especially because of heavy watch box, and yet, very reliable and fast, two days in Europe, three days worldwide.

Described by Franck Muller as "men's", this lovely watch will also adorn the wrist of any elegant lady.
