Franck Muller takes great pride in presenting the global debut of an iconic timepiece: the Master Jumper. This extraordinary creation boasts a remarkable jumping hours, minutes, and date complication, showcased through three apertures that redefine the art of reading time on a stunning dial. The inception of the Master Jumper stems from a longstanding partnership of over two decades and a true bond of friendship between Franck Muller and Dubail Paris. This limited edition release introduces 31 remarkable timepieces.
Staying true to its roots in pioneering timepiece design, Franck Muller once again reaffirms its commitment to creating a watchmaking style that pays homage to its heritage while introducing an innovative approach to timekeeping.
In this collection, Franck Muller continues its pursuit of originality by replacing traditional hands with five rotating discs, each displaying hour, minute, and date numerals. The Master Jumper collection introduces a novel and innovative method of time interpretation. The jumping hours complication swiftly presents the current hour, with the numeral transitioning precisely at the start of each hour. Simultaneously, the jumping minutes complication ensures accurate minute readings aligned with the minute markers. Furthermore, the jumping date complication guarantees a seamless date change at midnight, epitomizing precision and elegance in time measurement.
Franck Muller introduces this innovative complication in the latest rendition of its distinctive tonneau-shaped timepiece: the Curvex CX. The redesigned case, featuring a sapphire crystal that seamlessly extends from 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock, gracefully exposes the dial, offering a magnificent panoramic view. This daring design accentuates the watch’s graceful curves, providing a comprehensive perspective of the dial. The dial features a new guilloché pattern, inspired by the “Clous de Paris” design, which has been artfully twisted to create an impression of motion on the dial. This intricate detailing produces captivating reflections, thanks to the various facets involved. This finishing touch imparts a unique style to the timepiece, seamlessly blending tradition with modernity. The collection offers a classic and elegant finish, with a slim bezel positioned beneath the sapphire crystal, serving to accentuate the triple jumping complication.
This extraordinary timepiece made its debut during an exceptional dinner held at the illustrious Ritz Hotel in Paris. In honor of this momentous occasion, Franck Muller Watchland embarked on a special journey to Paris, marking the celebration of a groundbreaking world premiere in the realm of watchmaking. Mr. Adrien Jouffroy, representing Franck Muller France, expressed, “To commemorate the launch of the new Franck Muller Master Jumper, we aimed to craft an exceptional and almost intimate event right here in Paris. Our goal was to immerse you in the world of exquisite watchmaking and share our vision with you.”
