THE MYSTIQUE OF TIME

Franck Muller releases the dazzling Round Triple Mystery collection

with a delicate geometric pattern reminiscent of a spirograph.

After a gap of 23 years, the third instalment of Franck Muller’s Mystery is worth the wait.

The original model from 2000 indicates the hour via a single rotating disc. Franck Muller then upgraded the mechanism by adding another disc to track the minutes for the Double Mystery, launched two years later.

Without numerals and traditional hands like its predecessors, the new Round Triple Mystery portrays the motion of time, including the passing seconds, on a hypnotic dial — seemingly floating with 237 brilliant-cut diamonds.

The sequel has been released in 2025 as a collection of eight references, housed in a 39mm white or rose gold case encrusted with more blinding diamonds.

The dazzling Round Triple Mystery is another technical feat for Franck Muller, which cultivates contemporary haute horlogerie at its manufacture, known as Watchland, in Genthod, Geneva.
