Fans of the Italian-based comic Diabolik can now wear an ode to their favorite master thief when they strap on the new Franck Muller Cintrée Curvex Diabolik Limited Edition.
Franck Muller created the new watch to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the comic, which debuted in 1962 and has since become one of the best-selling comics worldwide.
The watchmaker nicely channels the mysterious Diabolik on the watch’s dark lacquered dial, which features a masked set of alluring eyes topped by blood-red hands, all placed within a black PVD Cintrée Curvex case.
(See specifications below for additional technical details about the automatic watch, a limited edition of twenty-five pieces).
Franck Muller also created the watch as a tribute to Diabolik designer Enzo Facciolo, who died in 2021, and will offer one watch from the limited series to the designer’s nephew. 
The watches can be purchased from Ronchi Gioielli in Milan, which has been an official Franck Muller dealer for several years. Price upon request.
