Franck Muller once again pushes the boundaries of Haute Horlogerie and high Jewellery with the Curvex CX Grand Central Tourbillon Baguette, an extraordinary creation where mechanical artistry meets the world of fine jewellery in its most elevated and poetic expression.
Conceived as a true masterpiece of contemporary watchmaking, this exceptional timepiece embodies the brand’s singular vision of luxury, where innovation, heritage and creative audacity converge to give birth to an object of rare beauty and emotional power.
A sculptural icon instantly recognizable by its emblematic curved lines, the Curvex CX reveals a silhouette that is both architectural and sensual. In this dazzling interpretation, the signature profile is transformed into a luminous canvas through an invisible setting of baguette-cut diamonds. Entirely hand-set by master artisans, 778 diamonds totaling 49.79 carats are placed with absolute precision, reflecting years of passionate craftsmanship and a devotion to perfection that defines the highest standards of Haute Jewellery. As light glides across the surface, the diamonds come alive, creating an ever-changing play of reflections that magnifies the sculptural presence of the watch.
At the very heart of the dial, the tourbillon takes center stage, elevated as both a technical marvel and a poetic symbol of time in motion. Framed by a constellation of diamonds, it becomes the hypnotic focal point of the composition, drawing the eye into a mesmerizing choreography of light and form. This central placement reinforces the artistic balance of the design, transforming the dial into a living canvas where precision, emotion and beauty coexist in perfect harmony.
Housed in a rose gold case measuring 36 mm, the Curvex CX Grand Central Tourbillon Baguette offers proportions that are both elegant and assertive. Available in several refined variations, this exceptional creation allows for multiple aesthetic expressions while preserving the unmistakable identity of the collection. The invisible setting extends seamlessly across the dial and the case, reinforcing a sense of purity, continuity and revealing a subtle, almost ethereal brilliance that evolves with every movement of the wrist.
The case itself becomes a jewel, sculpted with fluidity and adorned with diamonds that appear to float upon its surface. Each facet and each curve, each polished edge reflects the brand’s obsession with detail and its mastery of complex forms. The dialogue between metal and gemstone creates a visual rhythm that enhances the three-dimensional architecture of the watch, transforming it into a radiant object of desire, as captivating in stillness as it is in motion.
Completing this harmonious composition, the integrated diamond-set bracelet extends the brilliance beyond the case, enveloping the wrist in a continuous ribbon of light. Ingeniously secured without traditional spring bars thanks to two invisible screws, it ensures a flawless transition between case and bracelet, offering both visual continuity and exceptional comfort. This innovative construction reinforces the sculptural unity of the piece, allowing it to be worn as a true jewel, perfectly balanced and exquisitely refined.
Beyond its dazzling exterior, the Curvex CX Grand Central Tourbillon Baguette embodies a deeper philosophy of time as an art form. Each element has been conceived not merely to measure passing moments, but to celebrate them, to transform time into emotion, into memory, into beauty. It reflects Franck Muller’s unique approach to contemporary luxury, where technical mastery serves artistic expression, and where every creation tells a story of passion, creativity and uncompromising excellence.
Hypnotic, sculptural and resolutely timeless, the Curvex CX Grand Central Tourbillon Baguette is a true work of horological art, where Haute Horlogerie and high jewellery unite in a perfect symphony of light, form and emotion.
More than a timepiece, this extraordinary creation stands as a statement of identity and vision.
