FRANCK MULLER presents the newest Long Island in three movement of time
Technical creativity is a core quality with the FRANCK MULLER philosophy.
Technical innovation is actually a core quality of Franck Muller's philosophy. This is mirrored not only in our haute side-effect timepieces, but also in our circumstance and dial making, gem-setting techniques and the materials many of us use in our timepieces. This is reflected in our first designed watch case, the Cintrée Curvex, launched in 1987, and continues with our newest Long Island case.
Long Island first launched a three-hand watch in 2000. Often the rounded rectangular case, having its soft curves, short lugs and arched numerals this follow the design of the case, pays off homage to the Art Decoration era and quickly grew to be a popular watch among lovers.
a new, sophisticated building
This coming year, Franck Muller is very happy to introduce a modern evolution from the Long Island case. The new style retains the original silhouette developed by our co-founder Vartan Sirmakes, while breathing fresh life into the case. To be able to recreate the new Long Island, we'd to deconstruct the original design and style and come up with refined amounts that accentuated the Very long Island's curves, angles as well as thin lines.
Compared to the original Nagashima layout, the new case adds one much more inner case that defends the shaped movement which drives the watch. Franck Muller is one of the few watchmakers capable of develop a movement precisely fitted to each case, as it separately designs, manufactures and creates cases, dials and motions in Watchland.
Shaped movements make full use of just about all space within the case, ensuring that they are more visually appealing but in addition a challenge for configuration and also engineering. The Long Island Evolution's additional inner case gives additional security and jolt protection to the movement. The actual multi-layer construction also supplies a bonus - it permits the sapphire crystal that will protects the watch’s show to attach to the flange without necessity for any visible retaining anchoring screws.
The aluminium inner shell is anodized in pine green, even though the titanium outer shell includes a black PVD treatment and also a satin brushed finish. A lavish matte black alligator natural leather strap with contrasting sewing and the same pine natural edges matches the new Li case, creating a continuous environment friendly line that wraps across the entire watch from both equally sides.
A firm typical
To complete the gathering, we have created a third three-hand model, equipped with a fully skeletonized hand-wound FM 1745 mobility. This impressive chronograph supplies a 7-day power reserve and its accurate oscillator operates at a secure 18, 000vph. The Longisland Evolution 7 Days Power Reserve recalls the classic pocket watch motion, but it has been given a new along with bold twist to fit typically the “T” shape of the new Li case.
The particular movement bridges are entirely skeletonized to allow maximum looking at of the movement through the blue crystal, and a small mere seconds dial sits at the bottom in the display, perfectly balanced from the massive mainspring above that. The gear train and rotating gears are also partially uncovered and can be further discovered from the back of the watch. Above the movements, large Arabic hour amounts coated in luminous substance clearly indicate the time; shut off the light and admire often the luminous details of this enjoy.
These about three new Long Island watches pay out homage to the original Longisland watches, but with a new three-hand chronograph expression and style and design. They illustrate the development Franck Muller has made above more than 30 years and how most of us continue to reach greater height.
