Dubai is poised to welcome its inaugural residential clock tower, which will also claim the title of the world’s tallest residential clock tower, as announced by the developers on Thursday.
The collaboration between London Gate, a premium real estate developer in the UAE, and Franck Muller, the renowned Swiss luxury watch manufacturer, was unveiled at a special event in Dubai.
Franck Muller, a trendsetter in the horology industry for the past thirty years, is making its foray into real estate through this unique partnership.
London Gate’s highly anticipated development in Dubai Marina, standing at an impressive 450 meters, is set to distinguish itself as the world’s tallest residential tower, the first-ever branded residential tower, and the tallest residential clock tower globally.
Eman Taha, CEO of London Gate, expressed excitement, stating, “Following the success of our sold-out projects Maya V, Nadine I and II in the UAE real estate market, we are thrilled to introduce our masterpiece in collaboration with the iconic watchmaker Frank Muller. This project marks the inception of Frank Muller’s first-ever branded residences. Through this partnership, we aspire to curate a living experience that embodies the brand values and vision of both London Gate and Franck Muller. This exclusive branded residential project will serve as a testament to our dedication to creating unprecedented and distinctive spaces that resonate with the essence and prestige of our brand partner.”
The tower is named Aeternitas, echoing Franck Muller’s watch of the same name, renowned as the world’s most complex timepiece with 36 complications and 1,483 components, according to the company’s website.
Erol Baliyan, Managing Director of Franck Muller, expressed delight at expanding into the Middle East through the London Gate partnership. He noted, “We have strategically explored the branded residential market in the UAE to bring our legacy of brand excellence into the realm of real estate. Launching Franck Muller’s inaugural real estate collaboration in the vibrant and luxurious city of Dubai, known for its development, marks a significant milestone for our brand. This venture signifies the commencement of a new era for Franck Muller, and we eagerly anticipate introducing a legacy of record-breaking endeavors globally.”
The luxury residential project is scheduled for an official unveiling in January 2024, with residents anticipating handover by 2026.
