In the world of haute horlogerie, where time is not just measured but celebrated, Franck Muller stands as an overlooked luminary.
Established in 1991, the brand's vision was clear: to create timepieces that transcend the mundane, leaning on expressions of individuality and above all, elevating timekeeping to an art form.
Franck Muller is renowned for their vibrant and visually captivating dials. The Color Dreams collection, for instance, showcases an array of bright hues, with each dial resembling a miniature canvas where said colors dance harmoniously. Each watch exudes an design language that balances the classical and the whimsical, bringing a much-needed, playful approach to modern horology.
This particular Franck Muller, a part of the ‘Long Island’ Collection, epitomizes the Franck Muller philosophy straight down the line. A beautiful Cintree or Americaine-esque scalloped case, coupled with beautifully exaggerated Art Deco style numerals set the tone for this piece. Counterbalancing these playful elements, this reference includes a gorgeous salmon guilloché dial center, serving as a reminder that Franck Muller is a serious watchmaker as well. Powered by a quartz movement, this piece serves as an excellent unisex option for a variety of collectors.
Despite their under-the-radar profile, Franck Muller timepieces are still some of the best in the world with respect to dressy complications, and this wildly fun Long Island is no exception.
