"...In the quest for contemporary sophistication blended with classic design, Franck Muller unveils a remarkable addition to its 2024 High Jewellery collection: the Round Skeleton Baguette, elegantly crafted in a 31mm size. This remarkable piece, embellished with baguette diamonds and exquisite gemstones, showcases a perfect fusion of fine jewellery and high-end watchmaking..."
This timepiece, launched exclusively for the Asia-Pacific market, pays tribute to the artistry of haute joaillerie and haute horlogerie. The earlier versions of the Round Skeleton Baguette came in 39mm and 42mm sizes, but this stunning 31mm iteration adopts a more compact design while maintaining exceptional quality. The diamonds gracefully highlight the edges of the bezel and the case, amplifying its inherent charm. This piece is seamlessly integrated into the prestigious Round Line, highlighting Franck Muller's exceptional watchmaking craftsmanship. The Round Skeleton Baguette, featuring a sleek silhouette and understated elegance, exemplifies the principles of purity and excellence that are fundamental to the collection.
The baguette-cut diamonds and precious stones are meticulously handcrafted and set using the channel-setting technique, securely nestled within the channel walls of the bezel. Crafted from precious metals, these walls elegantly embrace a regal crown that surrounds the meticulously skeletonised dial, amplifying its transparency. The MVT FM 1540-RS, elegantly encased in a refined 31mm housing, showcases Franck Muller’s smallest manual-winding movement.
Although small in size, it features an impressive 4-day power reserve, highlighting remarkable technical craftsmanship. The skeletonised design presents a fascinating glimpse into its complex inner mechanisms, elegantly combining precision with aesthetic appeal. The carefully minimised components, including the mainplate and bridges, elevate the visual appeal, turning the movement into a remarkable experience.
The new 31mm Round Skeleton Baguette, available in both white and rose gold, features a variety of combinations of diamonds and precious stones. Its elegant design and perfect proportions make it truly stand out. It acts as a classic accessory that seamlessly enhances its wearer with elegance and poise.
