Franck Muller's "Aeternitas 3" is part of his remarkable Aeternitas range, some of which are considered to be among the most complicated mechanical timepieces in the world. The Aeternitas range is famous for its complexity, with every version exceeding the boundaries of watchmaking. The range mirrors Franck Muller’s striving for maximum technical performance in Haute Horlogerie at all times. Their complexity and sophistication make these watches collector's pieces for all lovers of exquisite watchmaking. The models "Aeternitas 2" and "Aeternitas 3" are members of this highly complex family of timepieces. The "Aeternitas 3" is generally based on the features of the "Aeternitas 2" with added complications and technical refinement. The "Aeternitas 3" is fitted with a flying tourbillon with second counter and 2nd time zone, a retrograde eight day power reserve display as well as a rattrapante chronograph function with retrograde 12- hour counter.
Typical Franck Muller elements such as the cintree curvex case and the large bold numerals create the elegant yet commanding design of this watch.
