Q: Is Franck Muller worth buying?

Yes, Franck Muller watches are worth buying for collectors and enthusiasts who value bold design, technical innovation, and craftsmanship. The brand is renowned for its complex movements and distinctive aesthetics, including the iconic tonneau-shaped cases and eye-catching numerals. While they may not hold their value as consistently as some other luxury brands like Rolex or Patek Philippe, Franck Muller timepieces offer exceptional artistry and exclusivity, making them a worthwhile purchase for those seeking a statement piece or a uniquely crafted luxury watch.

Q: Which is better, Breitling or Tudor?
