The Franck Muller Legacy: Where Innovation Meets Art Deco

Franck Muller, the brand, has carved a unique niche in the world of luxury watches. Founded in Geneva in 1991 by Franck Muller and Vartan Sirmakes, the brand quickly gained recognition for its bold designs, intricate complications, and a distinctive Art Deco-inspired aesthetic. Muller's philosophy has always been about pushing the boundaries of watchmaking, earning him the moniker "Master of Complications."   

The Long Island collection, with its elongated, curved rectangular case, is a signature design of Franck Muller. Evoking the elegance and sophistication of the Art Deco era, the Long Island stands out with its distinctive numerals and graceful lines. It's a collection that seamlessly blends classic design with modern watchmaking prowess.

The automatic movement within ensures flawless timekeeping, a hallmark of Franck Muller's dedication to precision engineering. The watch is paired with a luxurious Franck Muller blue leather strap, accented with sporty red stitching, further enhancing its unique character. The strap does show some wear marks from the buckle, a testament to its previous enjoyment. The case itself is in very good overall condition, exhibiting only minor surface scuffs from gentle wear on the sides.
