Pierre Kunz began his career within the Franck Muller Group, where his creativity and technical ingenuity quickly distinguished him. His ideas and designs were so well received that Franck Muller and Vartan Sirmakes encouraged him to establish his own brand within the Group, allowing him to further develop his distinctive horological vision.
The present example highlights one of Kunz’s signature complications: the retrograde display. Housed in an elegant white gold case, the two-tone dial features a retrograde seconds indication that advances in a sweeping arc before jumping crisply back to zero every thirty seconds. This dynamic display exemplifies Kunz’s flair for combining mechanical sophistication with visual animation.
Sporty yet refined, the watch achieves a harmonious balance between technical ingenuity and sleek design, making it both an engaging complication and a versatile wrist companion.
