The 45mm x 32.4mm curved rectangular case is a perfect expression of Franck Muller’s unmistakable design language, blending Art Deco inspiration with a bold contemporary presence. Crafted in solid 18kt rose gold, the Long Island case architecture pays tribute to the elegance of the Novecento era, with sweeping curves and elongated proportions that sit beautifully on the wrist. The silver guilloché dial adds remarkable depth and texture, framed by Franck Muller’s iconic oversized Arabic numerals and elegant luminous hands. At the center of the dial is the spectacular “Grand Guichet” oversized date display, offering exceptional legibility and serving as the focal point of the watch. A small seconds register at 6 o’clock balances the layout perfectly while reinforcing the classical aesthetic of the piece.

Powering the watch is the Franck Muller Caliber 2800DD automatic movement, beautifully finished to haute horlogerie standards with Côtes de Genève decoration, sunray brushing, hand-chamfered bridges, and rhodium plating. The movement features a solid Platinum 950 rotor and operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, delivering precision and smooth performance while showcasing the meticulous finishing Franck Muller became famous for. The sapphire case back offers a view into the movement’s intricate architecture and craftsmanship.

Founded in Geneva by master watchmaker Franck Muller and Vartan Sirmakes, Franck Muller quickly established itself as one of the most distinctive names in modern haute horlogerie. Revered for combining complicated movements with daring original design, the brand became globally recognized for its tonneau and curved rectangular cases, dramatic numeral typography, and highly complicated timepieces. The Long Island collection remains one of the brand’s most iconic creations, embodying both technical sophistication and artistic individuality.

Elegant, bold, and instantly recognizable from across the room, the Long Island Grand Guichet Date is the kind of watch that collectors gravitate toward when they want something truly different from the traditional Swiss luxury landscape. Rarely seen in this rose gold silver guilloché configuration, this piece captures everything that made Franck Muller one of the most exciting independent watchmakers of the modern era.
