The Franck Muller Long Island is one of the independent Swiss watchmaker’s most distinctive designs, recognised for its elongated rectangular case, dramatic numerals and Art Deco-inspired proportions. This special-edition execution in 18K solid white gold, factory-set diamonds and Mother of Pearl transforms the Long Island into a true jewellery timepiece while retaining Franck Muller’s unmistakable design identity.
This is an especially beautiful Long Island configuration, beginning with an 18K solid white gold case extensively set with original factory diamonds across the case and lugs. The use of white gold allows the metal and diamond setting to visually blend together, giving the watch an elegant, almost continuous brilliance.
At its centre sits a luminous Mother-of-Pearl dial, whose natural iridescence changes subtly depending on the lighting. The watch is completed with its original Franck Muller sage green-grey strap—an unusual, sophisticated colour that works particularly beautifully against the cool white gold and MOP—and an 18K solid white gold buckle.
Powered by a quartz movement, it combines the presence and materials of a fine jewellery watch with straightforward everyday practicality. Against an estimated retail level of approximately SGD 22,000–30,000, the offering price of SGD 8,788 represents a substantial difference from boutique-level replacement.
WLCSG curator note:
This is one of those Franck Muller combinations where everything just works. The cool 18K white gold and factory diamonds, the natural iridescence of the MOP dial, and especially that unusual sage green-grey original FM strap come together beautifully—it feels luxurious without becoming predictable.
We also like that the luxury extends beyond what you immediately see: solid 18K white gold case, solid gold buckle and original factory diamond setting, rather than simply decorative elements added later. At SGD 8,788 versus an estimated SGD 22–30k retail level, this is a substantial amount of precious-metal and diamond-set Swiss watchmaking for the price, particularly for someone looking beyond the usual mainstream jewellery watches.
