This model is a variation of the Franck Muller Crazy Hours design, which offers an innovative approach to the concept of time. The dial of this watch reveals mixed-up numerals but the unique complicated movement still animates the hour hand, making it jump to the true crazy hour every time that the minute hand completes its revolution. Sun-stamped translucent lacquered red dial represents the Swiss residents of Monaco – the colors were selected to symbolize, at the same time, Helvetica and the Monte-Carlo principality.
The watch is crafted in 18-carat white gold. Its case is rather large and boasts 35.20 mm in width and 59.20 mm in length. Inside of the case beats automatic FM 2800 HF movement composed of 186 components and built on 23 jewels. The watch provides 42 hours of power reserve and 30 meters of water resistance.
