Catalogue Essay
Regarded as one of the most popular brands for manufacturing timepieces in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Franck Muller earned its place in the world of horology via its diverse line up of timepieces in its iconic Curvex case. In the mid 1990s, the firm introduced the Master Banker, a wristwatch featuring three-time zones developed for the busy jetsetter and global businessmen, hence its model name.
The Master Banker remains in production today with upgraded references. The first timepiece is a beautiful stainless steel Master Banker ref. 2852 MB fitted with a grey cloisonné dial with classic Franck Muller numerals. The second is an elegant 18K yellow gold Master Banker in an unusual round-shaped case fitted with a crafty two-tone sector dial with navy blue Arabic numerals. Both timepieces are equipped with the cal. 2800 MB, a self-winding caliber with a platinum rotor.
