Geneva based watchmaker Franck Muller first started his small-scale independent firm in 1992 and has since produced distinctly classical and notably innovative timepieces. Much of his work was inspired by historical complications but reimagined with a sense of modernity. One of his ingenious reinventions was the Double-Face Chronograph that features an oversized seconds counter on the reverse of the watch, a complication once found on pocket watches.
The model is notably distinguished by having dials on both sides of the case to allow for multiple chronographic scales that are significantly more legible. The front features a conventional dial with chronograph registers, while the back has an oversized, one-minute register with center seconds as well as a pulsometer, tachymeter and telemeter, operated by the chronograph buttons. Due to its large display, the scales are significantly easier to read than on an ordinary chronograph.
The present ref. 7000 DF JA from circa 1993 is cased in yellow gold and classically proportioned at 39mm diameter, featuring a textured champagne matte dial with Roman numerals and blued steel hands. Offered in excellent condition and accompanied by its full set of original accessories, the timepiece has aged beautifully and developed an attractive oxidation on one side of the case, giving the watch a distinctive character of its own.
Specializing in top-quality timepieces, Swiss watchmaking company Franck Muller was founded in 1991 in Geneva. The company was named after watchmaker Franck Muller, also known as the "Master of Complications," and Vartan Sirmakes, Co-Founder and CEO of the Franck Muller Group. Shortly after graduating from watchmaking school in the 1980s, Muller was among the first to create his own tourbillon wristwatch, along with world-renowned brands Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin.
In addition to Muller's fine craftsmanship and intricate complications, the brand is often recognized for its modern designs and colorful flare. To date, the brand's notable lines are the Curvex, Crazy Hours, Casablanca, Conquistador, Long Island and Aeternitas, as well as Revolution2 and Revolution3.
