Pre-Owned Franck Muller Regulateur 40991076/AS07303

WHY WE LOVE IT

:00Franck Muller is a brand that doesn't get a lot of attention in today's steel sportwatch-centric consumer mindset.

And we think that's a damn shame.

Muller the man and Muller the brand have brought a lot to the world of modern horology, and his colorful, mid-1990s/early-2000s tonneau-shaped dress watch collection perfectly exhibits a design language that walks a fine line between classical and whimsical.

This particular Franck Muller is a Regulateur — a watch in which the hour and minute functions are separated on the dial like those of master timing clocks of the 18th and 19th century. Housed in a 28mm 18K rose gold case with a sapphire crystal and a signed crown, it features a satin silver guilloché dial with an outer ‘railroad’ minute track, an hour subdial at 12:00 with ‘Roman’ indices, a running seconds sundial at 6:00, printed ‘Breguet’-style Arabic indices in red, and a blued steel handset.

Powered by a hand-wound movement and paired to a signed, brown crocodile leather strap with signed rose gold pin buckle, this classically inspired timepiece is an under-the-radar choice for someone seeking a handsome, refined dress watch.

Despite their under-the-radar profile, Franck Muller timepieces are still some of the best in the world of dressy complications.

Give this one a whirl and see what we mean!
