Q: What are the case dimensions and how does it wear?
A: The Cintrée Curvex case measures about 25 mm wide by 35 mm long and approximately 5.75 mm thick. Thanks to the curved tonneau profile, it hugs the wrist and tends to wear slightly larger than a 25 mm round watch.

Q: Is this considered a ladies’ model and will it fit a small wrist?
A: The 25 mm Cintrée Curvex is typically sized for ladies, though the design is unisex and fit is down to personal preference. The bracelet is currently sized to approximately 14 cm inner circumference as listed; additional links may be required for larger wrists.

Q: What movement does this reference use and how long does the battery last?
A: It is equipped with a Swiss quartz movement (FM 1321‑QZ). Typical battery life is around 4 years, depending on usage and servicing.

Q: Is it water resistant? Can I shower or swim with it?
A: It is rated to 30 metres (3 ATM), which covers everyday splashes such as rain or hand‑washing. It is not recommended for swimming, showering, or submersion. Always ensure the crown is fully pressed in.

Q: What crystal and materials does it use?
A: The watch features a stainless steel case and bracelet with a curved sapphire crystal over a silver guilloché dial with multicoloured numerals.

Q: What does “Color Dreams” mean on the dial?
A: Color Dreams refers to Franck Muller’s signature multi‑coloured Arabic numerals, hand‑painted over a lacquered, sunray‑guilloché dial for a playful, distinctive look.

Q: How do I set the time?
A: Gently pull the crown to the second position, turn to set the time, then press the crown back in to resume running. Avoid setting the time under water or with wet hands.

Q: Can I change the bracelet to a leather strap?
A: Yes. Because the Cintrée Curvex case is curved, straps for this model are usually curved‑end and model‑specific. A professional watchmaker can confirm compatibility and fit a suitable strap if you prefer leather or rubber.

Q: What is included with this particular piece?
A: As stated in the product information, this is a full set from 2017 with the original box and papers.

Q: How does A Retro Tale verify authenticity?
A: Every item is carefully inspected by our specialists using multi‑point checks of the materials, movement, engravings, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
