Franck Muller - Crazy Hours

One really CRAZY watch!



Franck Muller dazzled the watchmaking world with the advent of Crazy Hours. In this contemporary design, the conventional clockwise arrangement of the hours from 1 to 12 is replaced by a new and original order which not only permits everyone to assign his own values to the hours but also ensures that, despite this freedom, accurate time keeping remains unimpaired.

Wikipedia

Franck Muller watches are worn by various celebrities, among them: Demi Moore, Robin Williams and Elton John.
Franck Muller timepieces are famous for their fusion of "modern" style {mostly inpired by american watches from the thirties, like Elgin tonneau) and traditional Swiss watch manufacturing. The president of the company that holds its name is a watchmaker himself. He claims to design the mechanism of every watch by himself.
