Founded in Geneva in 1991 by watchmaker Franck Muller and case manufacturer Vartan Sirmakes, the brand quickly carved out a niche in haute horlogerie with its disruptive approach to both mechanics and design. Muller, a talented watchmaker who graduated from the Geneva School of Watch Making, gained early renown for creating highly complicated movements, and the brand proudly carries the slogan "Master of Complications." This technical prowess is paired with a bold, avant-garde aesthetic, most famously embodied by the Cintrée Curvex—a tonneau-shaped case with a dramatic, three-dimensional curve that became the brand's most recognizable silhouette. The brand's signature look is further defined by its distinctive, often oversized and colorful Art Deco-inspired numerals that dance across the dials.
