Assembly

Every watchmaker’s dream has always been to manufacture a complete watch. The Franck Muller Group continues this time-honoured culture by designing and manufacturing almost all the components of its timepieces.

To this end, it has brought together under the same roof engineers and technicians who have state-of-the-art equipment at their disposal and top-class craftsmen who perpetuate traditional methods.

Moreover, its perfect mastery of all its trades means that the Franck Muller Group can legitimately be referred to as a fine watch making brand.

Miling

While it is true that only a master watchmaker can give life to a Franck Muller watch, it is also true that his work is reliant on the perfect quality of the component parts.

The Franck Muller Group currently has 6 production sites across the Jura Arc, mainly in Geneva and in the Jura.This enables the group to have a great deal of freedom and  independence in the watch making process.

Electroplating

Thanks to this independent production, the brand can overflow with creativity both at design level and at technical level, and thus bringing its plans to fruition.

It also allows the group the ability to react and satisfy demanding clients in short timeframes. Consequently, the components of the movement, cases, dials, hands, crowns, buckles, tongues and push mechanisms are fully designed and produced "in-house".

Stamping

The heart of a Franck Muller watch beats at a pace that pays tribute to high precision, while its soul lies in the extreme finesse of its mechanism. Accuracy is essential as we are dealing with infinitely small components. The creation of components for Franck Muller movements therefore requires a high degree of expertise to achieve highly specialised manufacturing.

These have an average of between 300 and 500 components, a figure which can rise to over one thousand four hundred for high complications. All of this requires several years of study, hundreds of technical drawings and approximately three months of full-time work by a prototyping watchmaker who is responsible for assembly and entry into production..

Polishing

Sapphire Glasses

Every Franck Muller movement and module is carefully polished, engraved and assembled by hand, since all of the parts must be in perfect harmony with the others to ensure impeccable reliability.

Today, Franck Muller Manufacture is proude to honour its title as Master of Complications.
