Franck Muller - Franken Long Island Crazy Hours Watch


Mosh

Recommended Posts

The only franck muller watches that i like are the crazy hour and the tourbillon. In the crazy hours i love both the long island and the curvex. The long island version always caught my eye and i always wanted to franken the watch. When i saw some gen dials listed on ebay, i immediately pounced on them :) and then brought a gen crocodile strap to go with the watch. The watch was sent to SMIDSY for a dial replacement. The gen dial was pretty beat, but smidsy did an excellent job at cleaning it up and the watch now looks like its actually worth about £20,000! The watch keeps excellent time and im very happy with it :) Here are some quick photos of the watch:

This is the FM with the jumping hours comlication? If so does it work? I love the style of the case.
Yes :) this FM has jumping hours complication (same as the gen). Every hour when the minute hand reaches 60 minutes (number 8 on the wach), the hour hand automatically jumps to the correct hour number on the dial :) so in the last photo, the time is 11:45. The watch looks stunning in real life. The gen dial has that shiny vibrant surface to it and the gen lume looks beautiful at night.

Wow an actuall mechanical movement, now this is defiantly on the purchase list.

 

The FM Crazy watches come with an Asia 21j movement plus the jumping hour complication attached to the front. If something goes wrong, they are $20, retail, to replace. (plus whatever it costs to have someone do the swap)
