Franck Muller. Passion, precision and innovation are the three essential qualities that highlight the creative genius of Franck Muller. For over ten years, the history of his watches has been marked by innumerable masterpieces and collections giving a contemporary style and spirit within the legendary universe of the Art of Watchmaking. The important dates in Franck Muller?s watchmaking career include: 1983, the date in which he created the first watch signed "Franck Genève; 1992", which represents the founding of the company, the opening of the first Franck Muller store in the world and the invention of the most complicated wristwatch ever made in horological history; 1995 symbolizing the inauguration of the new Franck Muller administrative and production headquarters in Genthod, near Geneva, Switzerland. Furthermore, Franck Muller leaps into the third millennium with the creation of Watchland, a new architectural universe honoring the watchmaking art and savoir-faire, which opened to the public in the year 2000. Franck Muller is one of the only prestigious manufactures whose creator signs each single model in his lifetime. This is what makes this brand so exclusive and enhances the uniqueness of each collection. The creation of the most complicated watch in the world in 1992? enriched by new functions in 1998 and hailed again as a world record?brought worldwide attention to the event and confirmed the international prestige of the company. Each year since a new and unique timepiece is launched?a world first again and again. Its complications so successfully combined set the horological world ablaze with delight. The forms, richer every year, continually reconfirm the creator?s unique style, immediately and undeniably recognizable.
