ON THE WATCH , WHICH FRANCK MULLER DEBUTED in mid-2022 , the artist draws directly on the matte black Curvex dial to create an emotionally charged design that “ embodies the trajectories of human lives ,” according to Franck Muller .
Without hands , the dial ’ s signature Double Mystery design depicts time using two rotating discs . The full face of the child in the artwork takes full shape when the discs are perfectly aligned at 12 o ’ clock .
The manual-wind watch , which offers a power reserve of sixty hours , is packaged in a special box also designed by Nguyen . The case is a box entirely decorated with the faces of children the artist met in Cambodia . Price : Upon Request .
