Sincere Fine Watches’ ongoing 100 Masterpieces exhibition at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur is an in-depth look into the inspired creations of watchmaker Franck Muller. Culled from the renowned independent watch brand’s 27-year history, the exhibition offers a specially curated selection of timepieces that reflects Franck Muller’s technical and artistic prowess, and charts its creative odyssey from past to present.
Among the highlights of the exhibition are Franck Muller’s World Premiere watches, technically astounding timepieces that, at the time of their introductions, had never been attempted before, including the Evolution 3-1, which features the world’s first triple-axis tourbillon paired with a perpetual calendar, and the Giga Tourbillon from 2011, which boasts the biggest tourbillon escapement – twice as large as a regular tourbillon – to be housed in a wristwatch.
Complementing these World Premiere watches are iconic pieces like the multi-time zone watch Master Banker, the Cintrée Curvex Imperial Tourbillon, a stunning complication housed in Franck Muller’s signature curved tonneau-shaped case, and the Double Mystery, a bejewelled dazzler that uses a system if rotating discs instead of hands to display time.
Other highlights are the brand’s latest timepieces, including a tribute to the renowned Crazy Hours complication, the Cintrée Curvex Crazy Hours Pastels Asia Exclusive, which comes in an array of fun candy-coloured hues. Various Gravity Skeleton models – which feature skeletonised movements with tourbillion complications – are also on show. The one to look out for is the Vanguard Gravity Skeleton ‘Red & Blue Ergal’, which features a unique carbon case with red and blue stripes created through a special plate compression.
Sincere Fine Watches’ 100 Masterpieces exhibition featuring Franck Muller is on at the Centre Court, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur until Sunday
