FVF Genève FVF2 Openwork
Franc Vila's FVF Genève presents the FVF2 Openwork, a non-tourbillon watch that emphasizes its mechanical intricacies by removing the dial. This openworked design reveals the movement's jumper spring for the retrograde day indicator and showcases a "unibody" architecture where the base plate integrates with the case middle. The watch aims for high-end daily wearability with compact proportions and a lightweight titanium case.

The Openwork version strips away the dial, exposing the under-dial works and the jumper spring for the retrograde day indicator.
The manual-wind movement features a striking, angular design with haute horlogerie finishing.
The FVF2 movement utilizes a "unibody" architecture where the base plate is integrated with the case middle.
The case has good, compact proportions and is lightweight in titanium, designed for daily wear.
The left-hand crown position at nine o'clock is complemented by a pusher below it to set the day of the week.
The bridges on the front are frosted and dark grey, but other finishes like iridescent vapour-deposition are available.
The case incorporates polished edges on the bezel, mid-case panels, and lugs, with curvaceous lug shapes reminiscent of mid-20th century designs.
The lugs are single pieces screwed onto the case middle, which is the movement's base plate, allowing for modularity and custom finishes.
