There is a lot going on in the Franck Muller Cintree Curvex Retrograde Hour Tourbillon, but somehow, it all works well together. A retrograde hour display takes pride of place within a white gold case measuring just 30.3mm by 42.25mm: As six o’clock approaches, the hour hand jumps from the right end of the hour scale back to the numeral six at the beginning of the scale. Other features hold their own admirably; these include a tourbillon, the brand’s multi-hued Colour Dreams numerals, a stamped guilloche dial, and 205 brilliant-cut diamonds on the case and dial.
