Franck Muller Featured in April Issue of InSync Magazine

Watchland, the Swiss home of Franck Muller, was featured in an article from the April 2007 issue of InSync Magazine. The article featured a glowing overview of the grounds of Genthod, as well as a rare behind-the-scenes look at the business of Swiss Haute Horology.

Here's a brief excerpt from the article:

"When I think of a traditional watch manufacture, I envision a beautiful Swiss chalet in a small village, watchmakers toiling away at antique wooden tables, a workshop with beautiful views of lakes and snow-capped mountains in the distance. Instead, I often find modern glass and concrete, highly industrialized work areas, hermetic "clean" rooms and so on. So I was surprised, when I arrived at Franck Muller's Watchland in the small village of Genthod, Switzerland, to find my fantasy of a watch manufacture realized."

"The beautiful main house looks almost like a castle. It is the heart of the sprawling development known as Watchland and the headquarters of the Franck Muller brand. Immaculate park-like grounds surround the house, and the landscape beyond the property encompasses Lake Geneva with the peak of Mont Blanc and the Alps beyond."
