Franck Muller Crazy Hour 8880CH Watch Service
Franck Muller is in all essence very young in the luxury watch industry. Founded in 1991 by Franck Muller and Vartan Sirmakes, both brought their unique level of expertise to form Franck Muller Watchland SA. Franck Muller himself was born in 1958 in La Chaux-de-Fonds. At 15 he attended watchmaking school in Geneva. Upon completion, he began restoring antique pocket watches, most notably for Patek Philippe. Vartan was a skilled case maker and along with Franck Muller, they would design some of the most unique timepieces seen in the industry. One watch, in particular, catches your eyes with its case construction and dial appearance, this timepiece is called The Franck Muller Crazy Hour. Take a tour with Gray and Sons as we take an in-depth look at the servicing process to this amazing timepiece.

Here at Gray and Sons we pride ourselves in delivering the best quality in service and quality to preserve and maintain the proper working conditions of all Franck Muller models including this Crazy Hour we recently received in our service department. Factory specifications indicate you should routinely have your Franck Muller serviced every 3-4 years taking into consideration the owners operating habits. This Franck Muller Crazy Hour, reference 8880 CH, has a unique curved 55 MM x 39 MM case measurement in stainless steel. The design of the case is called Cintree Curvex and is their most distinctive silhouette model. The watch's dial is where the Crazy Hour name originated from. Each hour is in random sequence, not in your typical 12 hour order. At each hour the hand jumps to its appropriate numeral out of sequence. The markers are in different bold colors to give the dial an artistic appearance. Our in-house watchmakers and polishers have over 150 years of combined experience and have immense knowledge regarding all Franck Muller models. To start the process, our master watchmaker carefully disassembles the case, separating the movement from the case carefully. The case is then sent to our polisher for case refinishing to restore the luster to this stainless steel case and buckle. Now with the movement carefully out of the watch case, our master watchmaker begins disassembling the movement components piece by piece. During which they are meticulously inspecting each part for wear or damage to properly ensure the lifespan of the service.

During the disassembly, our watchmaker makes any necessary repairs or adjustments to the movement before putting all the components into our ultrasonic cleaner. Once completely torn down to the last screw and bridge, the movement plates and wheels are gently placed into our ultrasonic cleaner. Vibration is then used through rotating fixtures housing the movement components to clean and dissolve old coagulated oil and dirt in three different cleaning solutions. This process is essential to return the parts to their original clean state. The movement parts are dried to ensure no residue remains and fresh oil can begin to be applied. Our master watchmaker begins assembly by carefully putting together each component in their appropriate order while checking pivot end shakes as well as tolerance freedom of the wheels and gears for accurate function. During reassembly of this Franck Muller Crazy Hour, the watchmaker uses four different synthetic oils to lubricate each point of friction and rotation through the gears and pinions. This process is mirrored to the factory specifications to this watch. Movement is then tested for timing accuracy and amplitude on our testing equipment to ensure all proper adjustments were made during the reassembly process. With a freshly clean and regulated movement, it is time to case the movement into its beautifully refinished case where it will again be checked for functionality and display once all put together. The Crazy Hour is water tested to its suggested depths to ensure water resistance. The watch will then be put on time and quality controlled over the course of 1-2 weeks to observe its power reserve and automatic system. The timepiece is placed on our 4 RPM watch winders to simulate daily use by a wearer. Once timekeeping is kept during the manufacturer's suggested run time, the watch is released to the client to enjoy as new. Gray and Sons are proud to be your choice for Franck Muller services and repairs to return your timepiece to its original working condition.
