What Went Wrong For Franck Muller?
For the history of watchmaking, the prized jewel on the crown for so many companies was based on design, movements, and complications. The brand, Franck Muller, whom many knew to be the "king of complications," was a top-tier brand by the standards of the 20th century but barely a century later, they seem to have almost phased away from the mind leaving enthusiasts guessing what could have been.

I worked for Franck Muller 1999 -2003 and this was incredible times I’ll do an interview about this one day or write a book ! Wait book is already out called STEALING MANHATTAN.

This is what makes FM so great. It's affordable now but the hype will come back someday and bring the prices back up. My Casablanca 34, 3hander was cheap and is a cult classic that wears like a dream. Highly recommend while Franck is still alive the watches are affordable.

Frank Muler crazy hours in orange and black owner here. I own a few other luxury brands. None in my opinion compare to feel and finish of my FM.

@@akiyatiffany he may be right. There is a reason that the most costly brands stick around, people don't just want something that looks nice but they want something everyone can't afford as well. Look at Prada, they put out the most simplistic designs and they rarely ever change. If the prestige isn't there then the price needs to be there as a supplement. Look what happened to Mek jeans, Rock& Revival jeans, Robin Jeans, Joe Jeans , Hudson jeans and true religion...they starting going on sale, they started putting them in Marshalls and TJ Max so people stopped wanting them. Rolex is around simply off prestige, it's a classic and even though you can find cheaper ones like date just the brand still remains because of prestige. RM prices are crazy tho, I'll gladly rock out with a FM and FM was founded 10 years before RM so RM is really a copy cat that found a way to gain prestige through cost. Think about it, if Balenciaga started off selling their shoes for $40 and their clothes for under $100 then nobody would've ever wanted it and even with all the controversy surrounding Balenciaga they are still making money. Look at air force ones, they are cheap but they are classics and that gives them prestige.

Such beautiful precise detail & craftsmanship & some are super trippy & psychedelic like. 👌 super revolutionary & so different that’s why I love FM they are just so different & have made some of the nicest coolest watches ever like the solar system one & the roulette table watch /the monopoly watch is one of my favorites

I like that burning question at the end. Where on earth is Franck Muller. I know it's not a fair comparison, but it feels like Apple when Steve Jobs passed away. The company was running without a soul. Rumors said Muller was ill. Did anyone notice Muller is not recognized as a member or past member of the AHCI?
