Notes
Franc Muller, «Master Banker», three-time zone
The «Master Banker» has been created for businessmen who are constantly on the move. It concentrates on the essence of complications and offers three different time zones adjustable with the same crown. This apparently simple feat is actually very difficult to implement through the same crown. This achievement relies on the fact the movement composing the «Master Banker» has been designed from the ground up and thus required several years of development. Finally, to complete the series, the «Master Banker» is also available with a moon phase or a tourbillon.
