Franck Muller Watches

Frank Muller entered the tough world of luxury watches only recently. The company was in operation only for two decades. However, in this short period it became a well known name in the challenging world of high-end horology. Muller’s child hood was spent in dismantling any watch that he came across and assembling in them. This was a kind of informal apprenticeship in which he tutored himself on the principles of time. As he advanced in age he started as restorer of watches. Soon he started creating his own designs. By 1992, he had 19 world premiers and had requested for four patents

In certain aspects Frank Muller is a unique. One of them is the willingness to be responsible for each of his watch creations. Each movement whether simple or complicated was designed by him. The Muller collection has many famous users. Elton John, the great singer and Robin Williams the great comedian loved to show off their Franck Muller collection.

The Most Complicated Watch, Franck Muller, Aeternitas Mega 4

It was an adventurous move to enter the world of high-end watches which is well established with brand names which can boast of many years of history. A late entrant into the already well entrenched business of watch making, Franck Muller made his debut in 1983. Ever since he has surprised the world of luxury watch makers and patrons by presenting a marvel in each of his annual premiere.

Franck Muller offered, on the 7^th November 2009, Aeternitas Mega 4 in Monaco the little and very old kingdom, the rendezvous of some the enchanting men and women on earth. The epoch making, gala, mega-ceremony took place in the Salon Empire in the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo. The master watch maker, Franck Muller, worked on the project

from 2004. The delivery of the watch was a decisive moment in the history of watch making.

 The Aeternitas Mega 4, priced at US$ 2.7 million,  is not only the world’s most complex watch it is also the most expensive watch to be sold outside an auction;. The watch can boast of 36 complications. 25 of the complications are visible on the dial and on the back of the watch. The master piece is made up of 1483 components. The watch is poignantly christened by the name, a loan from Latin, which means Eternity.

Who is the person who bought this great watch? A fabulously rich American and a passionate watch collector, Mr. Michael J.Gould from Colorado arrived in his private jet together with his coterie of family and friends took delivery of the priceless watch from Mr. Franck Muller and Mr.Vartan Sirmakes the co-founder of the company. It was the crowning glory in the history of the tender foot company.

In the brief period of 30 years, Franck Muller Company has made a name for themselves. Today the brand is in the front line of the most recognizable symbols of luxury, elegance, wealth and glamour. However, the entry into this tantalizing world of neon light style and classiness comes with a great price tag; Franck Muller watches are prohibitively costly for many. However, they are not meant for popular consumption. It is certainly for the chosen few.
