Franck Muller's WPHH Novelties 2021 - GALET MOONPHASE

Poetic complication, the moon phase, naturally found its place at 6 o’clock to harmoniously complete the Galet collection.

With a self-winding mechanical movement, this mythical and mesmerizing horological complication displays the different cycles of the moon as we see it in the sky, on a guilloché dial.

The evocative name of Galet, means “pebble” in French, and recall the shape of the watch with its gentle angles, formed by the long-term erosive action of swirling and tumbling against each other in flowing water. It evokes nature as a smooth flow rounded by the action of water. The Moonphase on the dial further emphasizes the notion of purity and simplicity, evoking calm and well-being.

Available in men and women sizes, the collection is designed for horophiles in harmony with Mother Nature.

The Galet Moonphase showcases Roman or Arabic numerals on a guilloché or full diamond dial. The height of sophistication, the case is available in one row of diamonds or full diamonds.
