While generally known for its colorful tonneau-shaped watches, Franck Muller has some serious pedigree when it comes to Grand Complications. Although his nickname ‘Master of Complications’ might be self-touted, it is to some degree a valid claim. Remember the Piguet/ Muller/ Gerber watch made for Lord Arran? If you don’t, look it up – the write-up by Magnus Bosse and John Davis is worth a read. Plus at one time (or still?) this watch is said to have been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.But back to the Aeternitas Mega 4. This watch is a Grande Complication in the traditional sense of the word, offering a chronograph (monopoussoir with flyback function), a calendar (perpetual of course) and chimng functions ( a Westminster Carillon sonnerie). It is housed in an impressive 42.00 mm x 61.00 mm x 19.15mm case, making sure you don’t go unnoticed while wearing this haute horlogerie masterpiece.
