Introducing Franck Muller Celebrates the Year of the Snake with the Silhouette CX Snake

As the Year of the Snake approaches, many brands are preparing to mark this event with special editions inspired by this significant occasion. Among the most notable names, Franck Muller is releasing the limited edition "Silhouette CX snake". This new timepiece draws inspiration from the symbolism of the snake, and is available exclusively for the Asia-Pacific region. 

The watch comes in a polished 18K rose gold case, with a diameter of 30.8 mm, a thickness of 8.3 mm, and a length of 44 mm. The wavy case structure mirrors the sinuous movement of a snake, as if it was crawling, with the design flowing seamlessly across the timepiece. The suspended sapphire crystal follows the undulating contours of the case, extending from both the top and bottom. Additionally, the crown is adorned with a green emerald, perfectly matching the accents on the dial. 

The white stamped guilloche dial boasts a unique design, with applied numerals intricately cut out by a snake that crawls between them. These numerals and hands are crafted in rose gold, and the curved snake motif is adorned with deep green emeralds set using a micro-setting technique to enhance their brilliance. The emeralds vary in size and are placed closely together. The dial also has a beautiful sunray finish.

The watch is powered by caliber MVT FM 2038, an in-house automatic movement that offers 40 hours of power reserve and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz). The movement showcases remarkable craftsmanship in every detail, featuring Côtes de Genève finishing on the bridges and rotor, along with Perlage on the mainplate. The rotor board is beveled, while diamond polishing enhances the sinks and bridge bevels for a luxurious finish. 

It comes with a hand sewn calf leather strap embossed with snakeskin texture, and 18K rose gold buckle. It's a limited edition of 28 pieces, and priced at SGD 66,000, approximately equivalent to AED 178,400.
