The Year Of The Snake Comes Alive With Franck Muller’s New Asymmetrical Case
As the year draws to a close and the Chinese New Year approaches, Franck Muller continues its tradition of unveiling exclusive timepieces celebrating the zodiac animal of the upcoming year. For 2025, the Swiss luxury watchmaker introduces the Franck Muller Silhouette CX Snake, a stunning creation that highlights the Serpent’s significance in Eastern culture while presenting a bold innovation in case design.
The Silhouette CX Snake stands out with its asymmetrical case—a striking departure from traditional shapes—marking a potential trend for the coming year. Throughout 2024, the watch industry saw a rise in unconventional case designs, and Franck Muller’s latest model exemplifies how such forms can be both aesthetically intriguing and functional. Rooted in the Cintreé and Vanguard collections, the new case seamlessly integrates the serpent motif, with its flowing shape echoing the snake’s sinuous movement.
Crafted in 18k rose gold, the case measures 30.80mm in diameter, 8.30mm in thickness, and 44mm in length, exuding elegance with a contemporary edge. Its sapphire crystal and 30-meter water resistance ensure durability, while the fluted crown, adorned with an emerald cabochon, adds a touch of luxury.
The silver guilloché dial elevates the design with bold, applied Arabic numerals and rose gold leaf hands. Two curved rose gold accents, intricately carved and set with emeralds, mimic a snake’s body slithering across the dial. The artistry and attention to detail reflect Franck Muller’s mastery in blending horology with visual storytelling.
Powering the Silhouette CX Snake is the fine automatic Caliber MVT FM 2038 movement, based on the reliable ETA 2892. Operating at 28,800 Vph, this movement offers a 40-hour power reserve, ensuring precision and practicality.
Completing the watch is a green calf leather strap with a snake-skin-inspired texture and a rubber lining for added comfort. An 18k rose gold buckle enhances its luxurious appeal. Limited to just 28 pieces, this exclusive timepiece is available in the Asia-Pacific region for SGD 66,000.
The Franck Muller Silhouette CX Snake not only celebrates the upcoming Year of the Snake but also pushes the boundaries of case design, embodying a harmonious blend of innovation and tradition. This exquisite creation is poised to captivate collectors and enthusiasts, making it a highlight for 2025.
