In the 1990s, bankers around the earth faced a common problem – how could they see all three trading time zones (Asia, Europe and the U.s.), at one glance? Inspired by this frustration, Swiss watchmaker Franck Muller came up with an ingenious solution in the form of the Main Broker timepiece – a watch that allows the wearer to set and view iii time zones at a glance.
The Master Banker timepiece was originally launched in 1996. While virtually other multi-fourth dimension zone watches of the era indicated the additional time zones with the help of extra hands (on the same punch), the Principal Broker came with two sub-dials, each representing a different fourth dimension zone.
Franck Muller has just launched the new Cintree Curvex Master Banker Asia Exclusive – a regional exclusive that showcases the signature three-time zone complication housed within Franck Muller's iconic Cintree Curvex case. The timepiece stays true to its 1996 predecessor, with just a corrective makeover to reflect contemporary tastes.
The new timepiece runs on the same MVD 2800-MBSC automated movement used in the original. Local time is told by the central hr, minute and second hands, while the aperture at eight o'clock reveals the date synchronised to the local time. 2 sub-dials at 12 and six o'clock stand for the second and third time zones. The three time zone displays tin each exist individually adjusted via a single crown, without the need for additional pushers.
Underneath the watch'southward domed sapphire crystal is a brushed sunray cease dial. The case is available in a choice of 18K rose gilt, stainless steel, or mitt-polished blackened steel. 7 colour combinations are available, with a choice of two sizes – 36mm by 50.4mm (Ref. 7880) or 39.6mm by 55.4mm (Ref. 8880).
The Franck Muller Cintree Curvex Master Banker Asia Sectional is a limited-edition collection of but 700 pieces, bachelor at Franck Muller boutiques and selected spotter retailers beyond Asia. Fifty-fifty rarer still is the timepiece in vivid orangish – an MBS Shoppes sectional simply available in Singapore, from Sep i to Oct 31.
