Architectural is a word that gets thrown around a lot in watch writing, and when you look at a watch like this Franck Muller Gravity Skeleton you can see why. The clear, expansive view provided allows the wearer to look down at a tiny, and industrious city, busily whirring away.?And if we continue the architecture metaphor, this watch is a far cry from your day-to-day office block this is more along the lines of monumental, futuristic architecture. Full of sweeping bridges and curves. It's a watch with nowhere to hide the wheels and gears, along with the large, oversized tourbillon cage at the bottom. The manually wound movement offers five days of power reserve, and is chock-full of 237 tiny, tiny pieces and is cased in a large case, 44mm wide by 53.7mm long. The case is clad in black, giving a stealthy, urban look.?The Gravity is a stylish take on Franck Muller's classic Curvex, a fresh update that certainly stands out.?Franck Muller Gravity Skeleton priceFranck Muller Gravity Skeleton, (V 45 T GRAVITY CS SQT), $227,600Made in partnership with Franck Muller.
