Smaller Men’s Watches: Franck Muller Launches High Jewellery 31mm Round Skeleton Baguette in the Asia Collection
A Beautiful Gem-set Watch
Franck Muller offers their iconic piece – only smaller. In its High Jewellery launch for 2024, Franck Muller offers the Round Skeleton Baguette in 31 mm. This collection, featuring baguette diamonds or colored gemstones, embodies the perfect fusion of Fine Jewellery and “Haute Horlogerie.”
The newest timepiece is the latest addition to the repertoire of Round Skeletons, which are already available in 39 mm and 42 mm. In the Asia Pacific Exclusive collection, diamonds are also seamlessly set on the sides of the bezel and case. The collection also boasts the smallest ever skeleton movement ever manufactured by Frank Muller.
The collection harmoniously integrates into the prestigious Round line, celebrating Franck Muller’s craftsmanship in the art of watchmaking. The Round Skeleton Baguette, with its sleek profile and understated design, is the result of a quest for purity and excellence, embodying the fundamental principles of the collection.
Baguette-cut diamonds or colored stones are meticulously set by hand using the channel setting technique, where the gemstones are set in the bezel and securely held in place. Crafted from precious metals, the bezel’s channel walls firmly support this magnificent crown, which surrounds the meticulously skeletonized dial, enhancing its exceptional transparency.
The in-house movement within, blending aesthetics and technicality, reveals a highly technical mechanism and a perfectly balanced style. In this new size, Franck Muller has minimised the openworked movement to fit into a 31 mm case, while still affording a generous 4 day power reserve. Parts of the movement, such as the mainplate and bridges, are pared down further to make the watch components visible and offer a captivating visual experience. While maintaining a sense of refined elegance, the skeletonised movement allows for a satisfyingly detailed observation of the timepiece’s inner workings.
Available in white and rose gold, and set with various combinations of diamonds and precious stones, the new Round Skeleton Baguette in 31 mm stands out for its elegant design and perfect proportions, making it a timeless accessory that complements its wearer with sophistication and grace.
The collection’s expansion into a smaller size reflects the evolving tastes of modern collectors, who value both elegance and intricate craftsmanship.
