Franck Muller doesn’t do quiet luxury—its watches are unapologetically bold and audacious by design
The Franck Muller Crazy Hours is one of horology’s most fascinating—and true to its name, delightfully mad—timepieces. Its dial features a seemingly chaotic jumble of hour markers, yet it still tells the correct time.
It makes sense that such an audacious take on time-telling should be reimagined by one of the most avant-garde artists today—Jisbar, a French street artist known his ‘reinventions’ of classical masterpieces by Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Frida Kahlo, infusing them with modern pop culture references, vibrant colors, and graffiti-like elements.

The Franck Muller x Jisbar collection is available in five references: rose gold, titanium, black titanium, carbon, and steel. Each reference is limited to 50 numbered pieces. Additionally, each model will be accompanied by a fragment of a unique Jisbar artwork on linen canvas, divided into 50 numbered and signed pieces. If ever they are brought together again, these fragments will form the complete artwork—like pieces of a puzzle.

PRETTY LITTLE THING
Discreet timekeeping is taken to the next level with the Round Triple Mystery. An evolution of the Double Mystery with spinning discs for hour and minute indications, the Triple Mystery has added a central seconds disc. Since adding another disc would increase energy consumption, Franck Muller had to make it as light as possible. It chose the skeletonised route and the use of aluminium, resulting in the entire disc weighing a negligible 0.052g.

These spinning discs are enhanced by a hypnotic spiral of diamonds with precious gems set on the triangular indicators. Available in 39mm rose or white gold, the dial appears to float in motion, its display freed from the constraints of traditional hands—making it not only a dazzling expression of time but an entirely novel one as well.
