Master Banker Tourbillon

The Master Banker concentrates on the essential and offers three different time zones adjustable with the same crown. Thus, its owner can instantaneously see the time at the stock exchange locations of his choice, throughout the world. This extremely clear reading of the information is only simple in appearance. It was in fact thanks to some complex mechanical engineering, which has been patented moreover, that this was possible. The technical improvement of this year's module lies in the synchronization of the two additional time zones with the central time. Specific components had, moreover, to be designed that, when adjusting time zones, the minute hand could advance independently in half-hour steps on the two secondary displays. In this way, the House of Franck Muller has solved the problems of time shifts with countries such as India.

The tourbillon is in fact "suspended," as it were, at the same level of the dial. Unlike the more traditional tourbillons, the Imperial Tourbillon does not need to be guided by a bar that can be seen on the dial. Its originality lies in the fact that it stands on a single pivot, which in its turn is connected to a movement bar. Thanks to this technical device, the owner of this precious time piece will be enchanted by the whirls of a free tourbillon.
