Erstellt am: 06.01.2023 : 08:07:42 Uhr New Arrival: Franck Muller Cintrée Curvex Master Banker Asia Franck Muller's multi-time zone complication designed especially for the region.
Franck Muller is not a penny-pincher, he wholeheartedly believes in the adage "go big or go home". Why make a watch with only 10 complications when you can make the most complicated watch ever (Aeternitas Mega 4, we're looking at you)? Likewise, why settle for a dual time zone complication when you can set three time zones in one watch? And -- get this -- it's all adjusted with one crown.
Like most horological complications, Master Banker timepieces were developed out of necessity. The simple backstory tells of an Iranian banker who wanted to see three time zones for transactions simultaneously. Since time is of the essence when it comes to trading, a banker's watch must be quick and easy to read.
While most multi-time zone watches only feature an additional hour hand, the Master Banker features three separate time indicators, one for each hour and minute. In addition, the time can also be set with a half-hour time difference to accommodate all time zones.
But legibility also needs to be combined with ease of use, hence the single-crown operation. In the default position, the crown is used for winding. In the middle position, it is used to set the two second time zones, and in its third position, the crown is used to set the local time. This is achieved by adding a pinion to drive the two second time zones, while local time runs on the standard gear train.
Master Banker Asia Exclusive features Franck Muller's signature Cintrée Curvex case in 18K rose gold, stainless steel or hand-polished black steel, and comes in seven striking shades from bright orange to denim blue and in two sizes - 36mm x 50.40mm or 39.6mm x 55.40mm. Powered by the in-house movement MVD 2800-MBSC, the watch has a power reserve of 42 hours and is water resistant to 30 meters.
