Franck Muller's Curvex CX accentuates the iconic silhouette of its Cintrée Curvex watch with modern sophistication.

- 

CLOSE YOUR EYES and picture a Franck Muller watch. What do you see? A stupendously engineered tourbillon? Or, perhaps an exuberantly coloured and bejewelled watch? Regardless of the type of Franck Muller watch you are thinking of, chances are, it will come distinctively shaped; housed in a case that is curved all over, at the front, as well as at its sides and back.

The unmistakable profile is known as Cintrée Curvex and it is a signature silhouette that has dominated Franck Muller’s watches since 1992. French for ‘arched in a curve’, Cintrée Curvex takes the traditional tonneau case shape and endows it with three-dimensional curves so that the watch displays soft lines and contours from all angles.
