Toad's Review of the Franck Muller Crazy Hours Color Dreams


Recommended Posts

Posted

I liked this watch just for the unique face - I had no idea about the jump movement. This watch just jumped up on my wish list.

1. VC Malte Classiqe white gold

2. JLC Reverso Skeleton

3. FM Crazy Hours (black face, colored numbers)

4. Panerai 112

Any pics of the Long Island version fellas? Great review

Hello ... this watch style is available from many dealers. Some are now out of production but others can be had.

Silix seems to have the most shown on his web page. It takes a while to load.

Look here ----------> http://www.silix-pri...-c-116_255.html

** his server appears to be freaking out. The link, however, is correct.

anyone have an updated pic of the wrong font vs the correct font? the old links don't seem to be working. buying one for a bday present for a friend who's into things like Tim Burton and the mad hatter.. seemed perfect.

Genuine dials for some FM watches can be had for less than 100 USD on eBay. You would have to research which replicas can accept genuine dials to start a project.

These eBay dials have lume defects which can be corrected by a talented lume technician.

Hi, the trusted dealer named Toro Bravo lists these for sale,. They are on his web site. Altho dealers here wont cheat you, they may just lie to you a little bit. It's still a very shady hobby when you look at it with perspective.

I don't think it's like that, I've bought some off Andrew before. Not sure why he would say their not beeing made if they are. He also has them listed on his website, I just contacted him to check about that faulty 1 marking on the dial and he replied with them not beeing made.

 

Shame that toro one also has the funky 1..

I just am in the process of doing some Frankenstein work to a Long Island version. I will be Rhodium playing the case. I have brightened the Lume on the hands and will update the crystal possibly with an AR. I changed the strap to a darkest Navy Crocodile with white stitching. The watch is fun and a great conversation piece whenever you wear it. Here is a picture of it so far. post-66165-141934707149.jpg

A very fun if not practical watch.

About the "non-sequential jump hour movement": it is in fact sequential, the hour hand jumps 150° every hour.

 

(But the printing of the dial isn't sequential, if you want)
