Franck Muller introduces the Cintrée Curvex Edelweiss, a new release that pays homage to the brand’s Swiss origins. While maintaining the familiar design hallmarks of the Cintrée Curvex™ collection, this edition stands out with a unique feature on its dial—a reminder of Switzerland’s cultural and natural heritage.
A Dial Reflecting Swiss Tradition
The main novelty of the Cintrée Curvex Edelweiss lies in its dial, where the number 12 has been replaced with an Edelweiss flower. This subtle yet meaningful design change serves as a whimsical nod to the brand’s Swiss roots. The Edelweiss, a flower native to the mountainous regions of the Swiss Alps, is widely recognized as a symbol of purity and strength in Swiss culture. By incorporating this element into the dial, Franck Muller not only adds an aesthetically distinct feature but also reinforces the brand’s connection to its heritage.
The rest of the dial remains consistent with the brand’s established design language, featuring a sun-stamped guilloché pattern and the characteristic Franck Muller numerals, both of which contribute to the overall cohesive design while allowing the Edelweiss to stand out.
Case and Material Options
Available in rose gold and stainless steel, the Cintrée Curvex Edelweiss continues the tradition of offering collectors a choice of high-quality materials. For those seeking added embellishment, the option to include a diamond setting is available. The watch is completed with a hand-sewn red alligator strap, a color choice that resonates with the Swiss flag, further underscoring the watch’s symbolic ties to Switzerland.
Conclusion
The Cintrée Curvex Edelweiss offers a distinct variation on the classic Franck Muller design, with the Edelweiss serving as a unique focal point. This timepiece represents both a celebration of Swiss heritage and an example of the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship. Collectors looking for a piece that embodies both Swiss tradition and fine watchmaking will find this edition to be a fitting tribute. For further details, visit Franck Muller’s official website.
