Franck Muller Hits A Grand Slam
July 11, 2011
Franck Muller has teamed up with legendary baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson to create a watch collection under his name. The new Reggie Jackson Collection consists of three Conquistador models: Two Center Seconds pieces and one chronograph. Two feature vivid Yankees colors—blue rubber straps against a titanium case with blue bezels, and white dials with blue pinstripes and red accents. Thoughtful touches include Jackson’s number “44” instead of the typical “4,” and red, white and blue hands. The Reggie Jackson Chronograph (shown here, $20,300) is a titanium model created in 25 pieces. It houses the 8900CC self-winding caliber with 228 components and 27 jewels. The watch offers hours, minutes and small seconds at 9:00, date at 6:00 and 30-minute counter at 3:00. A blue rubber strap, bezel and pinstriped dial top things off. The two Center Seconds watches come in titanium with the Yankees colors ($10,300) and an 18k rose gold and black version with a guilloché dial ($16,000) created in a 25-piece set. Available exclusively at Tourneau, Walt Whitman Mall, 160 Walt Whitman Road, Suite 1055, Huntington Station, 631-427-2649
