On occasion of The World Presentation of Haute Horlogerie (WPHH) 2013, Franck Muller is presenting the Tourbillon Rapide, with a movement set to be the world’s fastest tourbillon escapement.

The movement is powered by four barrels, making one full rotation every five seconds. This means that the cage, mounted on a ceramic ball bearing, completes 12 rotations each minute, which makes it no less than 12 times faster than standard tourbillons available on the market.
This meticulously engineered movement - FM 2025T - is a fruit of Franck Muller’s Research and Development team. Its extraordinary performance is achieved thanks to the patented FM escapement with a fixed escapement wheel and reversed anchor and balance wheel. This in-house mechanism beats at 21’600 vibrations per hour and provides about 60 hours of power reserve. In the spirit of true high-end watchmaking, the movement is gorgeously finished with rhodium plating, graining, engraving and hand-beveling techniques.
Franck Muller Tourbillon Rapide is crafted from 18-carat gold and presented in the Curvex case. The housing measures 55.05 mm x 40.65 mm and boasts 13.70 mm in thickness. It is paired with a gorgeous skeleton-type dial that reveals the mysteries of its extraordinary mechanical manual winding movement.
Franck Muller Tourbillon Rapide is mounted on a hand-sewn black alligator strap and issued under the reference number 7889 T F SQT BR.
