As the Year of the Snake approaches, Franck Muller unveils a timepiece that pays homage to the elegance and mystery of the revered zodiac symbol. Introducing the Silhouette CX Snake, a limited-edition masterpiece that combines serpentine allure with technical innovation. The extraordinary piece not only celebrates the graceful mystique of the snake but also marks the debut of the Silhouette CX case, a revolutionary evolution in Franck Muller’s storied legacy of watch design.
The sapphire glass, in such a distinctive case, poses a great technical challenge and is a marvel of modern engineering, extending all the way to the lugs, affording a clear view of the Silhouette CX Snake’s dial. The glass is shaped into its remarkably spherical form using advanced diamond grinding and CNC techniques, transforming a simple block of sapphire into a crystal that not only complements the asymmetrical case’s unique shape, but also curves in two directions from 3 o’clock to 9 o’clock and 6 o’clock to 12 o’clock.
An Asia Pacific exclusive edition, the Silhouette CX Snake is limited to just 28 pieces. Emblematic, artisanal, and seductive, the watch showcases Franck Muller’s savoir-faire in horological design, ornamentation, and mechanical creativity in one charming package.
For her collaboration with Franck Muller, Kaneta drew on traditional East Asian beliefs that revere the dragon as a divine figure blessing the earth with rain for a bountiful harvest. This time, however, she has opted for a simpler, more elegant variant of her style. The figures on the dial are largely in black and white, with hints of aqua blue in their hair to provide a visual link to their role as bringers of rain.
The Long Island was first presented in 2000 as a three-hand timepiece. The rounded rectangular case with a gentle curved form, short lugs, and arched numerals that followed the design of the case paid tribute to the Art Deco era and quickly became a popular model among collectors.
