In 1991, Franck called on Vartan to design his new cases. The two men quickly realized that their complementary skills could enable them to create an extraordinary brand—without imagining that decades years later it would become one of the most renowned names in the world of watchmaking. Their watch collection includes the Long Island, Crazy Hours, Curvex, Round, Skafander and Vanguard. Officially founded in 1991 in the village of Genthod near Geneva, the Franck Muller Manufacture moved three years later, still in Genthod, to a castle dating from 1905. This peaceful 16-hectare site overlooking Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc became more than just a production site; it was a concept called Watchland. In less than 20 years, the watch brand has built a global reputation characterized by spectacular growth, enviable financial strength, and production of 40,000 watches per year.
