 The Double Mystery collection of Franck Muller introduced in 2006 catches imagination by conglomeration of diamonds and unconventional time display. The Mystery timepieces are just radiating with precious gems - their dials, bezels and bracelets are completely paved with diamonds.
The first model displays only the hours. You will not see any numerals or hands on the dials of Mystery timepieces. The dial features the single disc covered by diamonds that performs 24 revolutions a day. The place of hour-markers is taken by precious stones.
However, the watchmaking genius has not stopped at the hour-displaying gem-set wonder. Frank Muller managed to integrate the minutes. Initially the complication was applied in the Caliber 99. It was based upon a smart under-dial mechanical arrangement.
The master watchmaker elaborated and received a patent for an unforeseen mechanism. To understand better the Franck Muller invention it is necessary to remember that a watch mechanism has the minute hand drive placed inside the hour hand drive - consequently, it was impossible to place the minute disc outside the hours' one. As a way out, Franck Muller invented a mechanism that comprised a special gear-train. He equipped the Double Mystery with a device to provide the inversion of the process.
The Double Mystery displays hours and minutes. The timekeeping process is fulfilled with help of two rotating discs on the dial. The discs revolve at different speeds. Franck Muller created the timepiece with breathtaking design and complete time-reading. The diamonds magically sparkle on the dial producing a powerful impression - the watch seems to be a part of some horology fairytale.
The Double Mystery timepieces feature the elegant Cintree Curvex cases. The story of developing the uniquely shaped Franck Muller cases is really special. The initial idea of the watchmaker was to develop a complicated timepiece that would feature new contours of the case. Franck Muller conducted the whole research to come up with the new case. As the result Mr. Muller discovered a single spherical point where all the three axes of the timepiece's curves were meeting. The renowned Cintree Curvex three- dimensional watch-cases characterized by perfect balance were born. The elaborate cases feature the curvature at 3, 9, 6 and 12 o'clock.
Franck Muller, a rather young watch brand established in 1992, is continuously surprising watch lovers and simple customers with unconventional timekeeping creations supplied with the leading technical haute horlogerie innovations. The brand holds a highly esteemed reputation for introducing numerous world premieres and receiving patents for technically complicated creations producing powerful aesthetic appeal. No wonder Franck Muller watches gain more and more popularity among passionate watch enthusiasts and universally known stars.
