He too seems to be a bit of a prodigy.

I was wondering what are you're thoughts and opinions about Franck Muller watches....the good, the bad, the ugly.

Thanks in advance!

Franck Muller makes a fine watch. They take a lot of heat for using an ETA movement even though there is nothing wrong with an ETA movement. Most high end watches at some point used ETA before going in house. The watch brand however never has really taken off or made a mark in the luxury watch community. It doesn't hold resale value and the price of a new one has dropped considerably for most of the models. It's a well made swiss watch. Just hasn't found its place as a desirable watch in the high end watch community.
