Franck Muller launches new Long Island Evolution series, introducing modern classics



The pursuit of advanced craftsmanship has always been the cornerstone of Franck Muller's philosophy, which is reflected not only in the complications of its timepieces, but also in the careful construction of cases and dials, superb gem-setting techniques and the selection of high-quality materials. This incremental approach continued into the latest version of the Long Island case, which marked a shift in meaning. The Long Island originally appeared as a three-hand watch in 2000, with a distinctive rounded rectangular case characterized by gentle curves, short lugs and domed numerals. The design was heavily inspired by the Art Deco movement and became a favorite among discerning collectors.

This year Franck Muller brings a modern evolution to Long Island with three new expressions. The new adaptation retains the original silhouette and deconstructs the proportions, emphasizing curves, angles and thin lines. Compared to its predecessor, the new case integrates an additional inner shell to secure the formed movement that powers the watch. This multi-layered structure allows the sapphire crystal that protects the watch display to be fixed to the flange without the need for Any obvious screws. The aluminum inner shell is anodized in a pine green hue, while the titanium outer shell has a black PVD treatment and a satin brushed finish. The watches are paired with a matte black fine alligator leather strap with contrasting stitching and edges in the same pine green hue.

The leader of the range is the Long Island Evolution Master Jumper (RM438,400), whose triple-jump mechanism displays the hours, minutes and date digitally. An internal sapphire crystal has been added at the height of the inner bezel, imbuing the watch with three-dimensional depth. This inclusion serves as a platform for basic textual elements and directly ties together the frame of its three apertures, allowing the movement to remain open while also highlighting the technical instructions. While jumping hour watches date back to the 19th century, full digital display of time in a mechanical watch didn’t appear until 2009. The Master Jumper watch goes a step further, using a novel vertical and symmetrical jumping hour format, with three windows arranged in a row along the direction of the dial. In the middle of the case.

In today's high-end watch industry, tourbillon is regarded as the epitome of chronograph design. Since its establishment, Franck Muller has created many tourbillon variants for its watches. Now, a sleek, modern interpretation of the Long Island Evolution Giga Tourbillon (RM1,030,900) movement highlights the 20mm frame, and an all-black treatment that complements the titanium case. This generous tourbillon cage occupies more than half of the entire movement and is supported by a three-pointed bridge that echoes the bridge that houses the barrels of a total of four mainsprings, providing between them Ample four-day power reserve. Two hands coated with Super-LumiNova afterglow pigment indicate the hours and minutes.

Rounding out the collection is the Long Island Evolution 7 Days Power Reserve (RM200,300), a three-pin model powered by a precision oscillator running stably at 18,000vph and featuring a fully skeletonized manual winding FM 1745 movement. The movement's bridges are completely exposed to enhance visibility through the sapphire crystal, and a small seconds counter is located at the bottom of the display, balanced by the large mainspring above. The watch also includes partially exposed gear train, winding gears and luminous Arabic hour numerals to ensure clear timekeeping when viewed in low light conditions.
