Franck Muller Crazy Hours

Franck Muller Crazy Hours: a completely crazy time display

A New Philosophy of Time – this is how the Swiss Maison Franck Muller describes the concept of the iconic Crazy Hours series. And the highly symbolic timepieces could hardly be described more aptly – after all, the dress watch is not like any other watch. This is because the numbers on the dial of the Crazy Hours do not follow the conventional order, but appear to be wildly distributed across the dial. However, as usual with Franck Muller, it is the small details that make the difference. After all, the order of the numbers is anything but random, but rather symbolic. For example, the 8, which can be found at the 12 o’clock position, is the Chinese symbol for good luck. Are you also interested in a Franck Muller Crazy Hours, for example an 8880 CH in black, an 8880 CH COL DRM in yellow or an 8880 T CH in rose gold? SG Watches is your certified specialist retailer for Franck Muller watches. We will be happy to assist you both at our branch in Oldenburg and via our online store and advise you in detail on the special features of the iconic collection.

The history of Maison Franck Muller

The history of the Swiss manufactory began in the 1980s, when Franck Muller completed his training at the Geneva watchmaking school Ecole d’Horlogerie de Genève and gained his first experience in Svend Andersen’s workshop. In 1984, the watchmaker designed his first wristwatch with tourbillon and initially marketed his creations under the name Franck Genève. In 1992, he took the next step and founded the Franck Muller Group together with case manufacturer Vartan Sirmakes. Today, the manufacture has its headquarters in Genthod, a town north of Geneva, and also has branches in Lajoux, Les Bois, Plan-Iens-Ouates and Meyrin.

Traditional watchmaking rethought

Preserving tradition and yet breaking with conventions and seemingly fixed rules – that is the claim of every watch by Franck Muller. It is the immense care that goes into every component and the boundless creativity that makes the Maison’s designs so special. In addition to iconic automatic models such as the Long Island or the sporty watches in the Vanguard series, the brand is also known for its highly complicated watches and does not call itself the “Master of Complications” for nothing. The invention of the world’s first three-axis tourbillon is one of the brand’s milestones, as is the launch of the Aeternitas Mega, the world’s most complicated watch with 36 complications and 1,483 components.

Use of the highest quality materials

In addition to the watches’ expressive cases, it is also the carefully selected materials that make Franck Muller watches so special. The Maison uses only the highest quality materials for the production of badges, in-house movements, cases and more, including stainless steel and gold, especially rose gold. The term “stainless steel” refers to a specially treated stainless steel that does not rust even after years of wear. It is no coincidence that watches from the Swiss manufacturer are popular heirlooms that last for generations. In addition, only the finest leather is used to make the bracelet. When you consider these materials, it becomes clear why the timepieces cost a certain price.

Crazy Hours: a truly unique concept

It’s not just the unusual dial under the anti-reflective sapphire crystal that makes a Crazy Hours so special. The movement is also a true masterpiece. This is because every Crazy Hours has a mechanical movement with an emotional complication that enables the hour hand to jump from one hour to the next in the right order to always display the correct time. To read the time, the wearer only has to pay attention to the number indicated by the hour hand. The minute hand follows the traditional 60-minute cycle in the usual order. By the way: The iconic collection is available for all genders and comes in different sizes.

Crazy Hours for men

If you are interested in a Franck Muller Crazy Hours for Men, you have the choice between many different versions. The iconic dress watch is available in numerous options, for example as part of the Vanguard series or the Cintrée Curvex series. How about a sporty, maritime Yachting CH, for example, which sometimes comes in All Black, sometimes with Diamond trim? Truly a “New Philosophy of Time”!

Crazy Hours for women

The Swiss Maison also has a large selection of CH watches for women, which fit perfectly on the female wrist thanks to their smaller dimensions. How about a Cintrée Curvex Crazy Hours 8880 CH in green, blue or white, for example? If you prefer something more exclusive, you can also opt for a diamond version, in which the entire case is set with sparkling diamonds. Or you can opt for a limited edition, such as the CH 30th Anniversary. The dress watches in white with colored numerals are particularly popular.

Who wears a Franck Muller watch?

The Swiss Maison enjoys great popularity worldwide and has been able to count celebrity wearers among its customers since its beginnings. Timepieces such as the Long Island and other automatic watches have adorned the wrists of actresses and actors such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Eva Longoria. Elton John and professional footballer Cristiano Ronaldo are also among the customer base of the relatively young manufacturer.
