In the world of haute horlogerie, where time is not just measured but celebrated, Franck Muller stands as an overlooked luminary.
Established in 1991, the brand's vision was clear: to create timepieces that transcend the mundane, leaning on expressions of individuality and above all, elevating timekeeping to an art form. Each watch exudes an avant-garde design language that balances the classical and the whimsical, bringing a much-needed, playful approach to modern horology.
This Franck Muller, the Infinity Safari, embodies everything that is the brand. Quirky and cool at the same time, the Safari is an eccentric expression of the Franck Muller design ethos. Utilizing a Tonneau case, this piece has compound curves that help the watch sit comfortably on the wrist.
The bezel as well as dial of this piece is adorned with hundreds of hand-set brilliant cut diamonds that mimic a Zebra's pattern, hence the 'Safari' name.
Wow.
The black 'spade' handset and lack of hour markers on the dial allow the gem-setting to get all the attention it deserves. To top it all off, this piece is powered by a handy Swiss made quartz movement and includes all of its factory goodies.
Despite their under-the-radar profile, Franck Muller timepieces are still some of the best in the world with respect to dressy complications, and this wildly fun limited edition — marking a quarter-century of the Swiss brand's eccentric watchmaking — is no exception.
