Pay attention to the curves! See the perfection of Roberto Cavalli

2022.12.23

Fashion designer Roberto Cavalli began manufacturing watches in 2011. However, rather than simply creating watches bearing his name, the company chose Franck Muller as its partner. The reason for this was to utilize Franck Muller's know-how in creating complex cases. More than 10 years later, the collaboration between the two companies is heading in an entirely new direction. With the release of a Japan-exclusive model with the beautiful curves inherited from Franck Muller.

Roberto Cavalli
BY FRANCK MULLER

 

 Franck Muller's strength lies in its ability to create complex cases through press work, which is why the company has succeeded in mass-producing the Tonneau Curvex case.

The RVIG207, available only in Japan, is reminiscent of this design. While it does not have the same three-dimensional feel as the Franck Muller, the case, with the crown guard molded as a single piece, conveys the watch's expertise.

The case comes in two colors: silver and gold. There are four dial colors and seven indexes. Although the dials are intentionally left blank, they are all Swiss-made.

One of the reasons this watch looks worth more than its price is the polished lacquer dial. By molding the entire dial flat, the applied indexes are set in place without distortion. Also, as the photo shows, the color of the printing is excellent.

The stainless steel strap is decorated with a Roberto Cavalli pattern, which is also made using the pressing process that is the specialty of the Franck Muller Group. The striking details are a major feature of this piece.
