Technical innovation is a quality that lies at the heart of Franck Muller’s philosophy. This is evident not only in our watches with high complications and grand designs, but also in our case and dial making, our gem-setting techniques, and the materials we use in our watches.
The Long Island was first introduced in the year 2000 as a three-hand watch. The rounded rectangular case with a slightly curved shape, short lugs, and arched numbers that followed the design of the case paid homage to the Art Deco era and quickly became a popular model among collectors.
This year, Franck Muller is pleased to present the Long Island Evolution, a collection of three timepieces exclusively for Asia Pacific. The latest evolution of the Long Island case is characterized by a design that retains the original silhouette while introducing a new dynamic into the case structure. Compared to the original design, the new Long Island Evolution case incorporates an additional inner bezel that secures the movement driving the watch.
Franck Muller is one of the few watchmakers that can develop movements designed to fit precisely each case, as the manufacture designs, develops, and produces its cases, dials, and movements independently at Watchland.
The inner case in aluminum is anodized in a pine green color, while the outer titanium case has a black PVD treatment with a satin finish. Matte black alligator leather straps, with contrasting stitching and edges in the same pine green color, are paired with the new Long Island cases, creating a continuous green line that encircles the watch on both sides.
The collection, the Long Island collection has been expanded with 3 exceptional movements:
Long Island Evolution Master Jumper: Innovative and avant-garde, the Master Jumper sets a new standard in watchmaking functionality. This model is distinguished by its triple jumping complication that reinvents the way of displaying time. Hours, minutes, and the date are indicated through a complex mechanism of jumping discs, offering instant readability and a futuristic aesthetic. This timepiece is the result of an unceasing quest for excellence, combining modern aesthetics and mechanical prowess.
Long Island Evolution Giga Tourbillon: Iconic and majestic, the Giga Tourbillon is a true feat of engineering. With its 20 mm tourbillon cage, it is at the heart of this watch and represents one of the largest and most visible ever designed. This timepiece is a demonstration of Franck Muller’s expertise and technical innovation, combining an exceptional four-day power reserve with stunning aesthetics, and reflecting uncompromising watchmaking craftsmanship
Long Island Evolution 7 Days Power Reserve: This model embodies the perfect balance between functionality and elegance. With a seven-day power reserve, the 7 Days Power Reserve illustrates Franck Muller’s commitment to reliability and performance. Its fully skeletonized design allows for unhindered admiration of the internal mechanism, highlighting the mastery of traditional watchmaking and the beauty of craftsmanship.
