The largest “Watches and Wonders” Geneva watch show in 2024 has begun a few days ago. Franck Muller, formerly an independent watchmaker with the same name brand, also released a series of three new watches during the period, adding to the brand’s classics. The Long Island series makes a grand “return” and starts anew.
Franck Muller’s most famous series is the seemingly irregular and random crazy hour series. The rectangular shape is another characteristic of Franck Muller, and is famous for Long Island. This series will be officially named the Long Island Evolution series in 2024, and will offer three watches at once: the highly complex Giga Tourbillon Tourbillon, the triple time jump Master Jumper and the long kinetic energy 7 Days Power Reserve, all of which are limited editions.
Although the brand new Long Island Evolution is named “Evolution”, the four rectangular lugs of the case are quite in the Art Deco style of the 1920s. The case is made of black PVD and frosted titanium, and the inner case is combined with pine green anodized aluminum. The multiple interweavings of black and green, translucent and hollow, titanium and aluminum create a unique shape. It creates a composite atmosphere that is both avant-garde and classical.
Among them, the Giga Tourbillon with complex functions hollows out the self-made MVT FM 2111-TL movement and installs a tourbillon with a 20 mm frame. It is very eye-catching. The movement is composed of 297 parts and has a free hairspring. Gold balance wheel, four barrels, and a 100-hour power reserve at 12 o’clock. It is limited to 8 pieces in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Master Jumper watch brings a rare triple instantaneous jump display time and date function display. The vertical triple jump time display displays hours, minutes and date from top to bottom. It has its own reading logic and displays a certain function in a vertical arrangement. A sense of classical rationality. In addition, the 7 Days Power Reserve watch also adopts an open dial. Although there is no independent power reserve display, the FM 1745 hand-wound movement responsible for power can run continuously for seven days for a long time when the kinetic energy is fully loaded. It is an Asia-Pacific limited edition. Limited production of 300 pieces.
