In the world of haute horlogerie, where time is not just measured but celebrated, Franck Muller stands as an overlooked luminary.

Established in 1991, the brand's vision was clear: to create timepieces that transcend the mundane, leaning on expressions of individuality and above all, elevating timekeeping to an art form.

Franck Muller is renowned for their vibrant and visually captivating dials. The Color Dreams collection, for instance, showcases an array of bright hues, with each dial resembling a miniature canvas where said colors dance harmoniously. Each watch exudes an avant-garde design language that balances the classical and the whimsical, bringing a much-needed, playful approach to modern horology.

This particular Franck Muller, a Master Square ‘Playa’ Reference 6002, epitomizes the Franck Muller philosophy straight down the line. A beautiful Cintree or Americaine-esque squared off case, coupled with beautifully exaggerated Art Deco style numerals set the tone for this piece. This piece has a quartz movement within, and serves as an excellent unisex option for a variety of collectors.

Measuring 33mm square, like all square watches, the piece wears larger than its size, sitting with a modern stature on the wrist. Scalloped front and back, the piece conforms to the contours of the wrist. This piece is completed with a sapphire crystal and rubber strap. The whole of the piece exemplifies the Art Deco vibe of many Franck Muller designs, but does so in a very contemporary way.

Despite their under-the-radar profile, Franck Muller timepieces are still some of the best in the world with respect to dressy complications is no exception.
