True to his reputation as "Master of Complications", Franck Muller launched the "Casablanca" model, which features a chronograph and a date display. The polished, tonneau-shaped Curvex Art Déco steel case with round chronograph pushers has a size of 39 mm by 55 mm, the caseback is fixed with 4 screws. The large, applied Arabic Art Déco hour markers are made of steel with luminous mass and contrast strikingly from the black dial. The dial has two subsidiary dials for the small second at 9 o’clock and for the 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock.
