Franck Muller's WPHH Novelties 2021 - CIELO

The new Cielo collection affirms Franck Muller’s mastery of the watchmaking art in its purest tradition. Purity and sober design are the guiding principles of the collection.

The Cielo shows a dial in natural blue Aventurine, a semi-precious stone, with glitter which gives it a sparkling effect. The name of the collection was inspired by the deep blue of Aventurine stone, call to mind the color of the sky at night, whilst the shiny minerals recall the stars.

The technicity of the collection resides in the machining of the dial which is very delicate. The dial, very thin, is 0.6 millimeters thick, against the usual 0.9 millimeters. It has been intentionally reduced in order to bring a very slight transparency and thus have a lighter blue. The stone is then drilled in order to hand set diamonds to index the hours.

The open back allows to admire the automatic movement, engraved by hand, enjoying a 42 hours power reserve.

Effortlessly feminine, the beautiful design of the Cielo, with it's full diamond case, articulates Franck Muller’s vision of femininity, seduction and elegance. A collection that calls for dreams and escape - head in the stars.

The Cielo collection is available with one or two rows of diamonds on the case and different diameters (∅36, ∅39 and ∅42) in order to perfectly fit all wrists. The collection also comes in a version with a white Mother of Pearl dial.
