Franck Muller Long Island Color Dreams 25th Anniversary Collection, 2010s

Dealer description — Analog/Shift

In the world of haute horlogerie , where time is not just measured but celebrated , Franck Muller stands as an overlooked luminary. Established in 1991, the brand's vision was clear: to create timepieces that transcend the mundane, leaning on expressions of individuality and above all, elevating timekeeping to an art form. Franck Muller is renowned for their vibrant and visually captivating dials. The Color Dreams collection, for instance, showcases an array of bright hues, with each dial resembling a miniature canvas where said colors dance harmoniously. Each watch exudes an avante garde design language that balances the classical and the whimsical , bringing a much-needed, playful approach to modern horology. This particular Franck Muller Reference 955 SC, dating to the 2010s, is a limited edition that was included among several other models in the brand’s 25th Anniversary Collection. Housed in a 26mm x 44.5mm, rectangular stainless steel case, it features a curved sapphire crystal, a signed crown, a sapphire aperture on the caseback, and an absolutely wild, silver guilloche dial with stylized ' shadow' indices, multi-colored, stylized 'Arabic' indices, and a 'spade' handset. Powered by Franck Muller's Calibre FM1748 automatic-winding movement, it comes fitted to a punchy, red alligator leather strap with a signed steel pin buckle. Despite their under-the-radar profile, Franck Muller timepieces are still some of the best in the world with respect to dressy complications, and this wildly fun limited edition — marking a quarter-century of the Swiss brand's eccentric watchmaking — is no exception.
