New year, new masterstroke for Franck Muller. The Swiss watchmaker unveils the Curvex Red Japanan elegant and daring watch that enriches its emblematic collection. And guess what? It is exclusively intended for the Japanese market. Indeed, this exceptional model will not cross Japanese borders. Between cultural homage and technical prowess, this watch is as intriguing as it is fascinating.
The fascinating story behind this red dial
Why a red dial? It’s all in the symbolism. Red refers to the solar circle of the Japanese flag, but also to the famous torii, these red gates which mark the entrance to sanctuaries. In Japanese culture, this color evokes spirituality, renewal, and a certain purity. In broad daylight, the twenty layers of red enamel provide spectacular depth and luminosity, as if the watch were coming to life.
With this model, Franck Muller does not go overboard. The brand logo remains discreet, letting the design speak for itself. Nothing more was needed to strengthen the aura of this already striking watch.
Discover the technical details that make the difference
The Red Japan has ideal dimensions with a rose gold case of 33 x 48,4 mma format that is both timeless and mixed. Inside, we find an automatic mechanical movement which guarantees impeccable watchmaking precision. The hands, also in pink gold, harmonize with the case for an elegant and refined look.
In terms of finishes, everything has been designed to enhance the red dial. And for lovers of more luxurious watches, a version set with diamonds is also available. Again, the rose gold case hosts a row of precious stones which adds a sparkling touch without compromising the minimalist aesthetic.
Why Franck Muller reserves this model for Japan
This is not the first time that Franck Muller has reserved a model for a specific market. The brand seems to have a particular affinity with Japan, where it enjoys immense popularity. This can be frustrating for watch enthusiasts outside the archipelago, but it is also a well-thought-out strategic choice.
Moreover, this is not the first time that Franck Muller has left French fans wanting more. Another limited edition has already been out of reach in France, confirming this tendency to favor certain markets. With the Red Japanthe house plays on rarity and prestige, creating an almost obsessive desire among collectors around the world.
A watch that could well remain out of reach
If this watch makes you dream, prepare yourself for a trip to Japan. Currently, there is no information to suggest that it will be available elsewhere. This model seems tailor-made to appeal to a Japanese public attached to both elegance and symbolism.
The prices reflect this exclusivity: the classic version is priced at around 3,190,000 yenor around 20,000 euros, while the model set with diamonds climbs to more than 30,000 euros. Enough to transform this watch into a real object of desire.
