Long Island

Presented in 2000, the Long Island collection has since been one of the fundamental lines in the Franck Muller catalog, alongside the Cintrée Curvex from which it borrows the same constructive philosophy: a case that, while appearing rectangular at first glance, is in fact never perfectly flat, but follows a slightly curved profile designed to hug the wrist, in the same spirit as the barrel cases that define the rest of the brand.

The line's name and aesthetic openly look to 1920s Paris and the language of Art Deco: clean geometries, bold colors, dials often enriched with guilloché details and Arabic or Roman numerals with a strongly graphic design, in a direct nod to the decorative taste of the era. This aesthetic approach coexists, in the Long Island, with a very wide range of technical offerings: from the more accessible quartz models, aimed mainly at a female audience, to executions with major complications intended for collectors.

On this very front the line has seen a series of relaunches over the years under the "Long Island Evolution" label, with high-complication editions such as the skeletonized manual-wind 7 Days Power Reserve (300 pieces), the Master Jumper with a world-first triple jumping complication set in a steampunk-inspired design (100 pieces), and the Giga Tourbillon, which, reinterpreting a previous 2011 creation in Long Island form, brings to the rectangular case a 20 mm flying tourbillon cage, among the largest the brand has ever made.
