Franck Muller Infinity Oval Diamonds

In the world of haute horlogerie, where time is not just measured but celebrated, Franck Muller stands as an overlooked luminary. Established in 1991, the brand's vision was clear: to create timepieces that transcend the mundane, embracing expressions of individuality and, above all, elevating timekeeping to an art form. Franck Muller is renowned for its vibrant and visually captivating dials. The Color Dreams collection, for instance, showcases an array of bright hues, with each dial resembling a miniature canvas where said colors dance harmoniously. Each watch exudes an avant-garde design language that balances classical and whimsical elements, bringing a much-needed, playful approach to modern horology. This Franck Muller, Ref. 1628 B QZ V D, embodies everything that makes the brand tick: A departure from the more traditionally-inspired cocktail watch dress forms for which the brand is famous, the Infinity Oval brings a degree of playfulness to the FM catalog: Housed in a 22mm white gold oval-shaped case with a blue cabochon-set crown and a sapphire crystal, it manages to merge the flair of 20th-century dress watches with the reliability of modern tech. That, and it features just the right amount of round-cut diamonds, which adorn the bezel and lugs. Adorned with a gorgeous silver guilloché dial featuring FM's signature stylized Arabic numerals in black, an inner black 'railroad' minute track, and a matching black 'spade' handset. This piece is powered by a quartz movement and comes paired with a black alligator leather strap signed by the manufacturer. What's more, it comes with a host of factory goodies, including its inner box, outer box, warranty card, and tags. Despite their under-the-radar profile, Franck Muller timepieces are still some of the best in the world with respect to dressy complications and vintage-inspired looks, and this wildly fun dress watch is no exception.
