The Soul of Watchmakers, Reminding Us of the Cherished Passage of Time
Since its founding in 1992, Franck Muller has placed the utmost importance on "unique pieces" as its creative standard in watchmaking. Franck Muller believes that its timepieces should be special, personal companions – "my own precious watch" or "a watch like a friend" – that resonate with each individual's sentiments. To achieve this, the brand offers a wide variety of case sizes, dial designs, and an array of dial color variations. This allows customers to select a watch that perfectly matches their individuality from an almost infinite number of combinations.
This event will feature the先行販売 (advance sale) of the new "Long Island Petit Pastille <Trousse>," a collection that, despite its smaller case size, exudes presence with its witty design. The combination of three exquisite materials is transformed into an elegant and striking collection by Franck Muller's masterful touch. The radiance of pink gold harmonizes with the champagne-colored dial, creating a sophisticated expression. Whether in stainless steel, suitable for both casual and business wear, or in 18K rose gold, blending elegance with a modern edge, these models offer versatile styling possibilities.
"Trousse" is French for a braid, symbolizing an adornment where three materials harmonize beautifully to enhance its charm.
For this event, a master artisan from "Watchland," Franck Muller's sanctuary in Geneva, Switzerland, has visited Japan to apply color to the distinctive applied numerals – the very face of the watch. The delicate and beautiful world of "time," akin to painting on an extremely small canvas, is truly breathtaking. Seize this opportunity to discover the brand's lesser-known passion.
