Since the 1980s, Franck Muller has become an icon of elegance and originality in the world of high-end watchmaking. Thanks to his skill in mechanical complications, the watchmaker linked his name to a watch manufacturer that created a collection of extraordinary timepieces. These watches, revolutionary at the time, were characterised by high complications and unusual finishing.
The famous Casablanca model was inspired by the 1942 film of the same name starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid
Bergman. Designed to evoke the romantic atmosphere of steamship voyages and exotic port cities, this particular reference is called the ‘Conquistador’. The case structure is that of the Casablanca, but embellished with a pavé of brilliant-cut diamonds in three rows.
Produced in only 1,000 pieces and crafted in white gold, it is made even more special by the combination with the blue guilloché dial.
