WATCH AFICIONADOS WHO desire contemporary swag on their wrists can trust Franck Muller to do them right. The self-styled Master of Complications isn’t just an esteemed name when it comes to creating technically complex timepieces—the company is equally adept at imbuing these watches with a progressive spirit and avant-garde aesthetics that make high-end horology desirable and relevant for the collectors of today.
Case in point: Franck Muller’s new Grand Central Tourbillon Flash CX36. The star of the watch, the tourbillon, is a mechanism that was introduced way back in 1801. In the hands of Franck Muller, however, the traditional complication not only performs its mechanical duties with improved reliability, it is injected with dynamism and youthful ostentation that begs for a night out in town.
The watch takes its ‘Flash’ suffix seriously. Fitted with neon orange, blue or green hour markers carved from blocks of luminescent polymethyl methacrylate, SuperLumiNova hour and minute hands, and paired with similarly coloured nylon straps, the Grand Central Tourbillon Flash CX36 makes no apologies for showiness.
