Franck Muller Conquistador Grand Prix Tourneau Exclusive Watch

Watch retailer chain Tourneau has a lot of pull with major want brands, and consequently gets lots of "exclusive watches" that are available only at Tourneau shops. One such watch is this black and white, three-hand version of Franck Muller's new Conquistador Grand Prix timepiece. In addition to the special colors, this is the only version (that I know of), that is a simple three-hand timepiece. Other models available come with a tourbillon or a chronograph. I wrote more on this Conquistador Grand Prix watch collection here.

I got to see one of the watches at a Tourneau store, they had two of them, which is probably a lot. Especially given the fact that the collection is limited to just 50 pieces (and those need to be distributed among many Tourneau doors). The black case is in a special aluminum alloy (Ergal), and also has titanium in the mix. Inside is a Franck Muller automatic movement. These are very large watches as well, but the simple three-hand layout helps balance the design well, and emphasize the more rich characterful elements of the design. Other versions of the watch are red and black, or rose gold and black, so this black and white version is a great derivative. Look for this limited edition Franck Muller Conquistador Grand Prix watch in black at white only at Tourneau now. Price is $9,990.
