Franck Muller Replica Collections – Cintree Curvex
The Cintree Curvex is maybe the favorite watch case of Franck Muller and the watches having such a case are most numerous among the Frank Muller watch collections. The watches with this type of case vary both in functions and in their appearance. They are different and at the same time very similar.

This watch for the first time houses a three-counter chronograph in a Cintree Curvex case with a manually wound mechanical movement. The watch has golden case set with three rows of diamonds and is an amazing combination of an attractive design, many complications and an interesting combination of diamonds.

The Cintree Curvex Big Ben GMT
The Big Ben GMT is another watch using a Cintree Curvex case, which houses another type of Franck Muller's movement: a 7850 Caliber automatic movement. This movement provides the watch a 45 hours' power reserve and is balanced in such a way, that it produces 28.800 vibrations per hour.

The Master Imperial Tourbillon

The timepiece has a manual winding mechanical movement with a Volant tourbillon device, designed also by Franck Muller.

The timepiece is 30 meters water resistant. The face of the watch features not a great number of complications, though it has an interesting 'not-seen-before' design. The blue crocodile leather strap as if continues the blue flinque dial of the watch and joins the platinum clasp. The dial hosts Arabic numerals and blued steel lozenge hands, which are luminescent in the dark.

The movement of the timepiece features a balance-spring with a micrometer screw regulation, 21 jewels, a platinum rotor and the Incabloc shock-absorber system. As well as the Big Ben GMT the Master Calendar Moon Phase is decorated with Cotes de Geneve and circular graining patterns, fastened with blued screws.
The case of the timepiece is anatomically curved so it would pass as good as possible any wrist. To the sapphire crystal of the face of the watch Franck Muller has also added 3 correctors in the middle and a crown, made of yellow gold. The solid back is fastened by 4 screws, thus providing a water resistance down to 30 meters. As a completion of the 18 karat yellow gold case, the watch has also a clasp made of yellow gold, which unites the two parts of the hand-stitched crocodile leather strap.
