n its quest for modern yet timeless creations, Franck Muller offers an iconic piece as its High Jewellery launch for 2024: the Round Skeleton Baguette in 31mm, an exceptional collection set with baguette diamonds or precious gems, reflecting the perfect marriage between the world of fine jewellery and haute horlogerie.
The new timepiece is the latest addition to the repertoire of Round Skeletons which are already available in 39mm and 42mm. In this Asia Pacific Exclusive collection, diamonds are also seamlessly set on the sides of the bezel and case. The collection also boasts the smallest ever skeleton movement ever manufactured within the Franck Muller range.
The collection harmoniously integrates into the prestigious Round line, celebrating Franck Muller’s craftsmanship in the art of watchmaking. The Round Skeleton Baguette, with its sleek profile and understated design, is the result of a quest for purity and excellence, embodying the fundamental principles of the collection.
Baguette-cut diamonds or precious stones are meticulously set by hand using the channel setting technique featuring gem stones set inside the bezel, securely held in place within the ring. Crafted in precious metals, the bezel’s channel walls hold in place this majestic crown that encircles the precisely skeletonised dial, enhancing its optimal transparency.
The in-house movement within, blending aesthetics and technicality, reveals a highly technical mechanism and a perfectly balanced style. In this new size, Franck Muller has minimised the openworked movement to fit into a 31 mm case, while still affording a generous 4 day power reserve. Parts of the movement, such as the mainplate and bridges, are pared down further to make the watch components visible and offer a captivating visual experience. While maintaining a sense of refined elegance, the skeletonised movement allows for a satisfyingly detailed observation of the timepiece’s inner workings.
Available in white and rose gold, and set with various combinations of diamonds and precious stones, the new Round Skeleton Baguette in 31mm stands out for its elegant design and perfect proportions, making it a timeless accessory that complements its wearer with sophistication and grace.
