Franck Muller comes back on the emblematic shape of the brand which has met an unprecedented success. This dazzling success began with the famous Cintrée Curvex shape imagined by Franck Muller himself. All the watch cases are conceived and manufactured in the group's workshops. 

Over a hundred technical drawings followed by prototypes and by the creation of tools are necessary before even starting the fabrication. The aesthetic of the watch cases’ shapes is the typical feature of the brand: the first shape, the Cintrée Curvex, is considered in terms of design as one of the key innovation in the world of the Haute Horlogerie.

The tonneau shape is distinguished by its three dimensional construction entirely curved. The case is curved at 3, 9, 6, and 12 o’clock in opposite to the traditional tonneau shapes which are curved only at 6 and 12 o’clock. This specificity allows to the watch case to perfectly fit the wrist and adapt its curve to the possessor. We can say that the Cintrée Curvex is the most aerodynamic watch on the market!

The Cintrée Curvex remains a case very complex to do because of its exceptional form. The how-know of the Maison Franck Muller in this domain has enormously contributed to the success of its creation. It is produced internally from the begging and it covers 70 % of the Franck Muller models.
