Franck Muller’s Crazy Hours Watch, the Totally Switzerland will be presented at the Only Watch 2011 to support the Monégasque Myopathie Association. The brand itself was established in 1991 by Franck Muller and by Vartan Sirmakes in order to create special timepieces with original designs and complicated movements. These functions make the Franck Muller watches exclusive and highly claimed. Within the 20 years of its existence the company has gained international fame and recognition along with the title of Master of Complications.
The manufacturer is proud of being honored to save the great tradition of “Horlogerie” by creating sophisticated timepieces never seen before. The main idea followed in Franck Muller watches is a precise mechanism combined with charming design.
For the Only Watch cause Franck Muller has always presented one of its chef-d’oeuvres. And this year the Only Watch participates in the Monégasque Myopathie Foundation charity, so all the funds will be transferred to this association. For this occasion the Muller brand has decided to bring out one of its most outstanding watches, Franck Muller Crazy Hours. The watch is an ultimate refutation of the accepted watch reading rules. It reflects an innovative approach in mechanism and a new philosophy in order of time. The numerals of the Crazy Hours’ dial are placed in an unusual order of how everyone associates their own values. The hour hand follows the minute hand each time when it fulfills its revolution. It’s a new and crazy way to read the time.
The colours which are used for this watch are associated with the Helvetica and at the same time with the Monte-Carlo principality. The special dial represents the Swiss residents of Monaco, who belong to the communities in the Rocher. With this “crazy” timepiece Franck Muller hopes to show the creativity of Swiss watch making and his pride of belonging to this unique heritage.
