Franck Muller Long Island Master Banker Watch

The Franck Muller Long Island Master Banker watch is a luxurious object of great appeal. ?Embodying the uncompromising approach to watchmaking that has ensconced Frank Muller among the most illustrious names in haute horlogerie, this elegant rectangular timepiece is also a creation of great pragmatism: it can keep track of three time zones simultaneously, giving world travelers a truly worthy companion. ?

The gently curved platinum or 18-karat gold case of this Franck Muller Master Banker timepiece draws its inspiration from the 1920's--a decade in which flamboyance and stylish elegance made their mark on everything from architecture to the objects used in everyday life. ?The sublime contours of the Long Island case, enhanced by a lustrous polish, match the curvature of the wrist, enhancing comfort. ?Available in white or black variations, the dial displays a distinctive sun guilloche pattern, and stately numerals whose straight and arched design evokes classicism moderated by an element of fantasy. ?There is no ambiguity in the information presented: the two subdials present identical displays for the dual timezones both of which may be set independently of the primary time display. ?As with the date function, each of the timezones may be swiftly adjusted via the winding crown--a practical innovation by Franck Muller which is protected by a patent. ?

The Franck Muller Long Island Master Banker watch is animated by a manually wound mechanical movement. ?Highly skilled watchmakers lavish each of these mechanical gems with their attentive care, decorating the metal surfaces with the traditional finishes that are a hallmark of haute de gamme. ?Circular graining adorns the plate, and Cotes de Geneve patterns are applied to the bridges. ?The edges of metal parts are patiently rounded, using the traditional technique of anglage, and screws display a fine polish.

A meticulously crafted strap in hand-sewn alligator is joined to the screwed strap lugs of the Franck Muller Long Island watch case; a buckle in platinum or 18-karat gold keeps the watch connected securely to the wrist. ?A curved sapphire crystal ensures flawless legibility of the artistic dial, while offering the best possible protection from scratches.
