Story & Heritage

Franck Muller, often referred to as the “Master of Complications,” built his reputation on combining traditional Swiss craftsmanship with bold, unconventional design. The Conquistador collection embodies this philosophy—breaking away from classical round cases and introducing a more dynamic, architectural form.

Inspired by themes of exploration and conquest, the Conquistador represents strength, individuality, and forward-thinking design. Its tonneau shape, combined with expressive numerals and mechanical precision, has made it one of the most recognizable models in Franck Muller’s lineup.

Today, the Conquistador remains a symbol of daring creativity in alta orologeria, appealing to collectors who appreciate both technical excellence and distinctive aesthetics.

A unique and expressive timepiece from one of Switzerland’s most creative watchmakers — ideal for collectors seeking individuality and presence.
