Q: What is included with this full set?
A: This watch comes with the original inner and outer boxes and three extra bracelet links. Everything included is listed in the product information section; if an item isn’t listed there, it is not included—please contact us if you need clarification.

Q: What is the size and how does it wear on the wrist?
A: The Cintrée Curvex 1752 QZ is a petite 25 mm tonneau-shaped case that hugs the wrist thanks to its signature curvature. This example is currently sized for a 15 cm wrist and includes three extra links for added length if needed.

Q: What movement does it use and how often will the battery need replacing?
A: The 1752 QZ uses a high‑precision quartz movement. Under typical use, battery life is around 2–4 years; we recommend replacing the battery proactively every 2–3 years or when you notice the seconds hand skipping or the watch stopping intermittently.

Q: Is it water‑resistant?
A: Cintrée Curvex models in this size are typically rated to 30 metres (3 ATM). That means protection against splashes and rain only; it is not suitable for showering, swimming or submersion. As this watch dates to 1993, seals may have aged—avoid water exposure and ask a watchmaker to check gaskets and perform a pressure test after any battery change.

Q: How do I set the time on this quartz model?
A: Gently pull the crown out to the second position to stop the hands, rotate to set the time precisely, then press the crown back in fully to restart. Always ensure the crown is pushed in securely before wearing.

Q: What does “Cintrée Curvex” mean?
A: It refers to Franck Muller’s signature curved tonneau design with a multi‑axis curvature that wraps closely to the wrist, giving a comfortable, elegant fit and the brand’s instantly recognisable silhouette.

Q: What is the dial and crown detail on this piece?
A: It features a blue guilloché dial with white Arabic numerals and a crown set with a blue sapphire cabochon, offering a refined contrast and classic Franck Muller character.

Q: Can the bracelet be resized?
A: Yes. The bracelet can be adjusted by adding or removing links. This watch includes three extra links; for best results and to preserve the finish, we recommend professional sizing by a skilled watchmaker.

Q: What is the overall condition?
A: Very good. There are light traces of use, including surface scratches on the case, case back and bracelet consistent with careful wear. The movement condition is very good as tested by our team.

Q: Is the watch authentic?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, finishing, engravings and movement. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional product information on request.
