Why We Love it
–Franck Muller is a brand that doesn't get a lot of attention in today's steel sport watch-centric consumer mindset.
And we think that's a damn shame.
Muller the man and Muller the brand have brought a lot to the world of modern horology, and his colorful, mid-1990s/early-2000s tonneau-shaped dress watch collection perfectly exhibits a design language that walks a fine line between classical and whimsical.
This particular piece, a Reference 8005, lives up to that reputation, yet by FM standards, is on the restrained side of things...
Dating to circa the 2000s, it features a 35mm x 50mm steel Tonneau case with a curved sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a lovely, silver 'radial' dial with stylized, luminous 'Arabic' indices and recessed sub registers, and a blued-steel 'feuille' handset throughout.
This piece is powered by Franck Muller's Calivre 1185 SC automatic winding chronograph movement and comes fitted to matching, slat-link stainless steel bracelet with a signed hidden clasp.
Despite their under-the-radar profile, Franck Muller timepieces are still some of the best in the world of dressy complications, and this wildly fun piece is no exception.
Give this one a whirl and see what we mean!
Brand Story
+
Brand Story
+Known for their distinctive tonneau-shaped cases, Franck Muller watches frequently contain high complications and are produced in limited series, such as the triple-axis tourbillon — a world first that premiered in 2004 after a years-long development period. Alongside these highly complicated pieces are time-only and time-and-date models that take the best in design languages from classic brands like Cartier and marry it to contemporary movements and stunning dials.
Beloved the world over, Franck Muller watches dazzle with their unique aesthetics and sophisticated horology, and have been worn by celebrities as varied as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Paris Hilton. The brand currently has five watchmaking facilities and hundreds of retailers across the globe.
