Founded in 1992 by Franck Muller and Vartan Sirmakes, the Franck Muller manufacture quickly became known as the “Master of Complications,” combining technical ambition with a distinct, often unconventional aesthetic. The Cintrée Curvex Jump Hour Moonphase ref. 7500 DSL exemplifies this approach. Housed in the brand’s signature curved tonneau case in 18k yellow gold, the watch sits comfortably on the wrist and bears the instantly recognizable profile associated with the maison.


Its regulator-style dial dispenses with traditional hands. A jump hour display appears in a recessed aperture at 12 o’clock, while the lower register at 6 o’clock carries the running seconds and a moonphase indication. A single central hand marks the minutes along a blue Breguet numeral minute track, complemented by blued steel details throughout. The result is a distinctive and highly considered expression of Franck Muller’s design language and technical craft.
