Franck Muller completed the Geneva Watchmaking School's curriculum, which normally takes three years, in just one year. After graduating at the top of his class, he went on to produce a variety of "world-first" ultra-complex watches, incorporating complex mechanisms in addition to tourbillons. From a young age, he established a reputation as a gifted independent watchmaker. Even in watch design, the brand has been committed to being "world firsts," creating a succession of models that overturn the conventional wisdom of luxury watches with original and beautiful forms, innovative colors, and distinctive indices.

In this limited-edition Franck Muller Disney Collection, Disney characters appear in Franck Muller watches that challenge conventional wisdom and show us a new world. A collection has been created to bring you a special everyday life, filled with a sense of euphoria and the fantastical power to transport you to a dream world.

Tonneau Curvex Crazy Hours
The Crazy Hours model incorporates a mechanism that defies conventional watchmaking. Unlike a regular watch, the numerals (indices) representing the hours do not run clockwise from 12 to 1, 2, etc. Instead, the indices are randomly positioned on the dial, and the minute hand jumps to the numeral representing the hour on the hour. Clocks are designed to function regularly, allowing the time to be determined simply by looking at the position of the hands. However, Franck Muller believes that this has made humans feel pressured and restricted by time. This is why he developed Crazy Hours, with the desire to free people from fixed ideas about time and allow them to live more freely.

Franck Muller's Disney collection features dials featuring familiar Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Goofy. Every time you check the time, you'll be able to gaze upon this character, seemingly enjoying himself freely and unconstrained by time, helping you live a more carefree life. The crown and buckle also feature Mickey Mouse designs, adding a fun twist to even the smallest details.

Casablanca
The Casablanca model is named after the Moroccan resort town where French aristocrats spent their time from the 1920s to the 1940s. Released in 1994, this was the brand's first stainless steel model, inspired by the aristocracy's everyday use of stainless steel watches, a cutting-edge luxury material from the 1920s to the 1940s.

In Franck Muller's Disney collection, Mickey Mouse is placed at the 6 o'clock position dressed for travel. The presence of Mickey Mouse at the dividing line between morning and night helps shift your mood from stillness to activity and back again, making this a model that is sure to add some variety to your daily life. Another key feature of the quartz model is the subtle presence of Mickey at the 1 o'clock position.

Long Island
The Long Island model was inspired by the vacation home destination of Long Island, New York. This model combines the urban glamour of Manhattan, lined with skyscrapers, with the relaxed atmosphere of Long Island. Its cool, rectangular case is enhanced by curves that follow the shape of the wrist, creating a soft impression.

Tonneau Curvex
When Franck Muller was an independent watchmaker, the wife of an Italian collector asked him to create a watch with a design that was unique to her, rather than a round one. This led to him challenging his own creativity and resulting in the creation of the Tonneau Curvex model. Although it has a tonneau (barrel)-shaped case, rather than the typical flat design, this model embodies the idea of being composed entirely of curves, giving it a graceful and elegant feel.

Franck Muller's Disney collection features Mickey Mouse set among diamonds at the 1 o'clock position. Openwork engravings of Mickey Mouse are also scattered across the entire dial. The design is balanced between the 18K pink gold case, made entirely of curves, and Mickey Mouse, drawn entirely of curves.
