Franck Muller fuses Swiss luxury with Solana blockchain in a bold “phygital” timepiece — but style meets security concerns in real life.
Priced at around $24,300 (20,000 Swiss francs), this 41mm stunner isn’t only for telling time — you can also show off your crypto identity. Franck Muller calls it a “phygital” product — part physical, part digital.

Sure, this is cool tech — but is it safe? That’s the big question. Crypto investors have become targets of physical attacks, especially high-profile ones. In Europe, we’ve seen kidnappings and assaults linked to digital asset ownership.
One incident involved the daughter and grandson of a crypto CEO, and another the abduction of a co-founder of a Ledger hardware wallet and his wife. Wearing a flashy luxury watch that links to your Solana wallet might make someone a walking target.
Franck Muller’s move to tie a watch to the Solana blockchain shows how fast crypto is blending into luxury and everyday life. Yet, having great technology also means having a great responsibility. While it’s exciting to see Solana used in fashion and collectibles, buyers should think twice before wearing crypto-linked wristwear outside.
Solana just made its mark with this delicate, luxurious piece. If crypto users manage a mix of fashion and security, this trend could become more mainstream. A Franck Muller Solana watch stands out by using high-quality Swiss work alongside advanced blockchain technology.
