A charming choice for date nights, weddings, or Valentine’s soirées, this 26mm Franck Muller Heart brings playful elegance to dressy looks. Its silver guilloché face and red accents lend a romantic touch that pairs beautifully with eveningwear, making it an eye-catching companion for cocktails, anniversaries, and special celebrations.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What is the case size and how does it wear on the wrist? A: This Heart model has a 26 mm tonneau case, which wears elegantly and compactly. The bracelet is currently sized to fit a wrist of up to about 15 cm and the watch comes with 5 extra links for additional length. If you are unsure of fit, measure your wrist snugly at the bone and allow a little ease for comfort.
Q: What movement does it use and do I need to wind it? A: It uses a Swiss quartz movement, so there is no winding required. Simply set the time and the watch runs on a battery; typical battery life for Franck Muller quartz calibres is around 2–3 years, depending on use and ambient conditions.
Q: Is this watch water-resistant and can I swim or shower with it? A: Heart and Cintrée Curvex quartz models like this are generally rated to 3 ATM (30 metres), which means protection against splashes and rain, not swimming or showering. As this is a pre-owned piece, water resistance cannot be guaranteed without pressure testing, so we recommend avoiding contact with water and steam.
Q: What does the reference 5002 S QZ mean? A: QZ denotes a quartz movement. The S commonly indicates the smaller case size within the Heart/Cintrée Curvex family. Model codes can vary slightly by year and market, but this aligns with how Franck Muller labels 5002 Heart variants.
Q: How do I set the time? A: Gently pull the crown out to its second position to stop the seconds and set the hands; rotate to the desired time, then push the crown back in to start the movement. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting and avoid operating the crown if the watch is wet.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized? A: Yes. The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by adding or removing links. This watch includes 5 extra links; a competent jeweller or watchmaker can size it to your wrist quickly and safely.
Q: What dial and design details stand out on this model? A: The watch features a silver guilloché dial with hand-painted red Arabic numerals and a heart motif, paired with a crown set with a red cabochon. These are hallmark details of the Franck Muller Heart line.
Q: What comes with this watch? A: This piece includes the box and outer box. Any other accessories or papers would be listed explicitly on this page; if they are not listed, they are not included.
Q: What is the condition? A: Very good pre-owned condition with light traces of use. There are minor scratches on the case, case back and bracelet consistent with careful wear, and the watch is mechanically sound.
Q: How often should a quartz Franck Muller be serviced? A: Replace the battery roughly every 2–3 years and have seals checked at the same time. A full overhaul is typically only needed if there are performance issues or every few years based on wear; your watchmaker can advise after inspection.
