FRANCK MULLER TRANSAMERICA MEGAPOLE CHRONOGRAPH WORLD TIME
The Franck Muller Metropole is a rare and lesser-known model from the Swiss watchmaker. Made in a limited edition of 250 pieces, it features a 40mm stainless steel case and matching steel bracelet. The watch combines a chronograph with a World Time function, showing the time in 14 cities, including London, New York, Tokyo, and Milan. While not one of Franck Muller’s most popular models, the Metropole is practical and well-made, offering useful features in a straightforward design.
The present Megapole specimen is one of only 250 pieces ever produced by Franck Muller. It was sold in the early 2000s and, while not widely known among collectors, it is an interesting watch to own and collect due to its well-executed GMT complication, which displays city names through the aperture at 3 o’clock. The overall condition is exceptional, with virtually no signs of wear on the case. The dial is flawless, and the mechanical movement, including the complication, functions perfectly. The bracelet shows no stretch and only minor signs of wear. The caseback features an inscription indicating the watch’s limited edition number.
Early 2000’s, Diameter 40mm, Limited Edition of 250 pieces.
