There’s clearly nothing subtle about the Curvex CX Flash.
Bold colorways with brightly colored indices and matching straps combine to
create an eye-catching wristwatch that can be seen from across the room – and
that’s the point. CX Flash is not about subtlety. This is a futuristic and
colorful design that will appeal to fashion-forward fans of high-end
watches.
On the front, fluorescent markers made from a composite
polymer overlay a finely textured dial locked within a star-shaped overlay.
These angles naturally draw the eye to the center of the dial where a sapphire
disk is mounted and imprinted with the Franck Muller logo. The unique shape of
the hands adds a futuristic touch with a new take on a skeletonized “Alpha”
design with applied lume on the extremities.
Over the dial, the curved sapphire crystal extends over the far ends of
the case where the strap seamlessly melds into the body of the watch.
The Curvex CX Flash is available in Stainless Steel with a
steel or black titanium inner bezel, black PVD on stainless steel, and
150-layer compressed carbon edition. Each variation is offered in five striking
colorways with matching textile & rubber straps. All measure 36mm by 53.1mm and are very
comfortable on the wrist thanks to the curved profile that measures in at a
slim 10mm thin.
Inside beats a fully decorated and finely regulated
automatic winding mechanical movement built at the Franck Muller Watchland facility from 191 components. These movements operate at 28,800bph for up to 42
hours and are anti-magnetic and shock resistant to ISO standards.
Franck Muller’s Curvex CX Flash colors outside the lines of
traditional watch design and creates a bold statement and a breath of fresh air
in luxury watch design. Retail prices
for all three stainless steel editions is $12,800 with the carbon CX Flash at
$19,400.
