Pierre Kunz, known as the "Magician of Retrograde," is acclaimed for his modern design sensibility, which he infuses into retrograde complications. A former technician for Franck Muller, he debuted under the Franck Muller Group in 2003 and quickly became the "face" of the group. A diver's watch, a focal point this year, is also scheduled for arrival soon at Franck Muller Watchland Tokyo.
This brand's philosophy is not to create "diamonds for watches," but rather "watches for beautiful diamonds." Its roots lie in a diamond company founded in London in 1789. From high jewelry watches to exquisite timepieces adorned with uniquely cut, select diamonds, their creations are truly a must-see.
Founded in 1998 by Martin Braun, a leading German watchmaker, this brand gained significant recognition at Baselworld in 2001 for its "EOS" model, which displays sunrise and sunset times. It continues to produce innovative timepieces with the grand theme of "the universe."
This brand is designed by Swiss watch designer Rodolphe Cattin, also known as an "aesthete of watches." His approach prioritizes design, starting with the case and dial before developing the movement. This commitment to artistic vision led to his integration into the Franck Muller Group.
Balthasar, said to be the inspiration for Franck Muller's own Cintree Curvex design, offers watches with beautifully curved cases that fit the wrist perfectly. This brand embodies Parisian elegance, having played a role in developing watches as ready-to-wear items in the 1960s.
