The Franck Muller Cintree Curvex Seconde Deloyale watch is a brilliant example of horological engineering and luxurious style. Within the sensually curved form of the white gold or platinum Cintree Curvex case--a virtual signature of Franck Muller--resides a mechanical movement that animates a calendar function, in addition to a unique "disloyal" seconds complication that marks off passing seconds one precise jump at a time. This distinctive feature, inspired by a horological innovation of the 19th century, may fool the eye of the layperson into thinking a quartz-controlled caliber lies beneath the dial; in fact, however, the precise advances of the central seconds hand is governed by a column wheel in the manner of the world's finest traditional chronographs.
Classical yet undeniably dashing, the Cintree Curvex case invites joy in wearing, no matter what manner of attire it accompanies. The striking dial of the Franck Muller Seconde Deloyale watch harmonizes perfectly with the case, offering superb attention to detail and clarity of purpose. Hours and minutes appear in the off-centered subdial at 12 o'clock while continuous small seconds are read at 6 o'clock. Two circular scales, each with its own dedicated hand, indicate the month and the date; both of these functions may be quickly advanced via the crown. A red arrow tip distinguishes the disloyal center seconds hand, which is activated or stopped at any time by a gentle press on the button which is integrated into the winding crown.
The Franck Muller Cintree Curvex Seconde Deloyale is powered by a self-winding 32-jewel movement, whose 5.75mm overall height includes the specialized complication module for the calendar and disloyal second function. The glucydur balance completes 28,800 semi-oscillations each hour, and power reserve is 40 hours. In keeping with the tradition of fine watchmaking, the artisans of the Franck Muller atelier in Genthod decorate the plates with circular graining, and bridges with Cotes de Geneve patterns; edges of parts are gently chamfered, so that no abrupt edges remain.
Assuring an elegant and secure fit of the Cintree Curvex Seconde Deloyale watch is a hand-sewn alligator strap and a buckle in 18-karat gold or platinum. The crystal, uniquely cambered to fit the Cintree Curvex case, is in sapphire crystal. |
