Franck & Muller, Luxury Watches, Over $5001 Comments (0)
Introduced in 2008 by Franck Muller, the Mariner has been modeled on the popular Casablanca Chronograph collection. Distinctive appealing marine symbols such as the blue wind rose and compass have been smartly placed to stand out on the new black or white Cintrée Curvex shaped dials.
The color of the sea, featured on the skeleton numerals and hands, immediately brings about the feeling of the marine life, which is the original inspiration for this new collection of timepieces.
The Frank & Muller Mariner 7080, 8080, 9080 displays hours and minutes, seconds in a counter at 9 o’clock and the date at 6 o’clock. The chronograph function is featured with central seconds while the 30 minutes counter is placed at 3 o’clock. Push-pieces are placed on the side of the case and with a powerful crown enforces the dynamic character of the Mariner line of luxury watches.
The Frank & Muller Mariner collection is available in 3 Cintrée Curvex case sizes as follows:
steel, gold, platinum and a PVD “all black version”. The sporty character of this innovative timepiece continues with a rubber strap or it can be “softened” by an elegant hand-sewn alligator strap.
