Roberto Cavalli has teamed up with Swiss haute horlogerie brand Franck Muller for the "Roberto Cavalli by Franck Muller" watch collection, scheduled to bow globally this fall.

WWD reports that the timepieces will be available in Cavalli boutiques, as well as Franck Muller stores and selected retailers.
Available for men and women, prices for the timekeepers will begin at around €1,250, although there will also be more luxurious items retailing at €6,000.

Cavalli's chief executive officer Gianluca Brozzetti has described the line as combining the designer's "modernity" with Franck Muller's "special capability."

The deal with Cavalli marks Franck Muller's first co-branding agreement, with the watchmaker's namesake and co-founder describing Cavalli as "a genuine artist."

This isn't the only upcoming accessories venture for Cavalli, as the label will launch the "CLASS Roberto Cavalli" line this fall. Set to go on sale in the brand's flagship stores and specialty boutiques across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, the line will include bags and small leather goods for both men and women.
