Franck Muller | The Tonneau Curvex Grand Guichet, with its timeless beauty, is now on sale

Apr 14, 2020
A new color has been released for the Tonneau Curvex Grand Guichet, a complication watch with an authentic appearance and a big date.




The Tonneau Curvex Grand Guichet is an archive model of the original shape "2851" that has been produced in limited quantities since the company's 25th year since its founding, and incorporates a "Grande Guichet" (big date).It is reminiscent of the "LIMITED 2000" model that was released in 2000 and was equipped with similar functions, but with an even greater pursuit of aesthetic sense in various aspects, such as the layout position of the big date, the size of the Byzantine numerals and changes to the second hand, and is a timepiece that has been impressing many classic watch fans since its release last year.

The dial, paired with the first stainless steel case, comes in a range of colors: chic, elegant black, vibrant white, and a deep blue achieved through multiple layers of processing.

The large date display (Grande Guiché) at 12 o'clock is French for "large window." To display the double-digit date, a complex system is used: two rotating discs are placed side-by-side, with the numbers displayed through two windows. This system, reminiscent of digital displays, was also used on the walls of 19th-century theaters and large grandfather clocks, and the numbers are intentionally large to make them easy to read even from a distance.

The Tonneau Curvex Grande Guiché's Byzantine numerals and large window mechanism are eye-catching, but its design, combined with delicate elegance, exudes the timeless beauty of a creator who, more than anyone, loved time and fought against conventional wisdom.
