In 2022, Swiss mechanical watch brand Franck Muller celebrates the 30th anniversary of its founding. For this memorable anniversary year, the brand has chosen the form of its signature "Tonneau Curvex" in the beloved "Bordeaux" color, a color of passion. Achieved by applying multiple layers of enamel at its dial workshop, also known as a dial manufacture, in the Jura region of Switzerland, the deep color captures the light and exudes a fresh luster, like wine poured into a glass. The rich, uplifting color, combined with the heart motif hidden at 5 o'clock, will help you weave a rich and meaningful time of your own.

"Happy moments filled with smiles cannot be colorless and transparent. They should be vibrant and full of color," said founder Franck Muller. These words slipped out of his mind while watching boys and girls frolicking in the sun at a marine beach on vacation. This Bordeaux color embodies Franck Muller's belief that no two people are the same color, and this unique burgundy color.

The "cintrée curvex," which debuted as part of the brand's signature collection when it was founded in 1992, is inspired by the name "cintrée," meaning arch, and "curvex," meaning curve. The extremely three-dimensional form, created by its construction of three-dimensional curves, appears at first glance to be a standard tonneau-shaped watch from the front, but reveals a truly smooth curve depending on the angle from which it is viewed. The Tonneau Curvex's ergonomic fit, with its flowing lines that fit comfortably on the wrist, is another major attraction. It exudes a timeless intelligence while exuding a light, playful spirit. This exquisitely balanced watch has served as an elegant accent for women's dress-up outfits, as well as a perfect complement to men's suits. The anniversary model, available exclusively at Franck Muller Watchland Tokyo and Osaka, as well as the directly managed boutique at GINZA SIX, will be presented in a special watch box custom-made by Globe-Trotter, the makers of suitcases for global travel. The box, decorated in lavender or champagne gold with red accents, is a unique design befitting Franck Muller. The Byzantine numerals "19580711" scattered across the heart also add a touch of playfulness, as they are Franck Muller's birthday. With this watch, Franck Muller hopes that it will bring beauty and richness to the journey of life of those who wear it.
