Franck Muller World Time Ref. 2800 HM 38 – 18K Pink Gold
Offered is a very fine and rare Franck Muller World Time wristwatch, reference 2800 HM 38, dating to the mid-1990s. Housed in a generously proportioned 38mm case crafted from 18K pink gold, this true neo-vintage piece exemplifies Franck Muller’s early mastery of technical complication and distinctive Genève design.
The polished case features elegantly curved lugs and a signature bi-directional revolving bezel engraved with the names of 24 world cities, enabling intuitive tracking of global time zones. Beneath a sapphire crystal, the silvered guilloché dial with matte accents is beautifully executed, featuring applied blued Roman numerals, blued steel Breguet hands, and a 24-hour world time ring that clearly distinguishes day and night hours. A discreet date aperture at 3 o’clock adds everyday practicality.
Powering the watch is an automatic movement based on the ETA 2892-2, rhodium-plated and finely decorated, fitted with an 18K gold oscillating weight. Celebrated for its reliability and slim architecture, this caliber ensures smooth and precise operation of the world time complication.
Produced in extremely limited quantities, this example is particularly noteworthy, bearing an early serial number 2, further underscoring its rarity and desirability among collectors. A highly sought-after neo-vintage configuration seldom encountered on the market.
